The shit female gamers have to put up with just for being female. This is why I need feminism. I’ve never had this issue, and I went through a heavy gaming phase I know alot of girls who play video games, not a single one has had this problem.

Just because you don’t think anyone you know has had this problem, doesn’t make it non-existent.

Also, all of those things were said in a livestream chat where they could see the female playing the game on camera. Before I ever streamed, I specifically changed my username to be nongendered so I wouldn’t have to deal with this stuff. And at first, it got better, but once again when I started streaming those comments came back.

I specifically started that blog to create a place for other females who DO deal with this kind of stuff in the gaming industry. I made it so we could laugh at the dumb things said to us for just being a girl. Not only does it have pervy comments, but it also has straight up mean comments that pick at common insecurities and are geared toward women.

That blog is just a tiny collection of a small portion of the female streaming community, I can only imagine how many people have to deal with this overall.
