What NOT To Do Unless You're Legitimately A Terrible Person

Don't harass her.

[goo.gl]

Don't assume she's a bad player.

Don't get upset at the team or a party SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE there is a female on the team/party.

Don't expect to make friends with her because you (think you) are nice to her

This should honestly be common sense, but I have learned that not a lot of people share the same definitions of "common sense." Harassment includes things like constantly bugging her to be your girlfriend, asking for pics, constantly saying anything you'd expect in a catcall, or calling her gender-specific insults.Or making kitchen jokes. Because you really want a female going into a room with multiple sharp blades.Especially don't use insults relating to sexual activity. If you have a mouth like that, she probablyget laid more than you.(Slight trigger warning... also, Steam blocks out the word! Did you know!? Thank you Valve for being decent people.)Don't assume she's a good player either. In fact, don't makeassumptions about the female player based on her being female.You have every right to yell at her for feeding or stealing your rune or stealing the courier or just being a terrible player overall once you can actually justify your yelling. Just see the above section.What's under the pants is a coincidence.This has happened multiple times. I'm serious. Female players (also foreign players, but I digress) tend to get a lot of bad rep for being terrible when it sometimes falls on others, or the team as a whole.(My favorite insult in a pub match to my other party members: "Stop helping her, you're not gonna get laid by helping her." No s**t, Sherlock.)Usually, as we all know, the fault is largely on the person complaining. So shut up for a minute, take a deep breath as your towers go down, and take a look at what's actually going on. If it actuallyhappen to fall on the female player, see the section above.With that being said, if someone on your team DOES suck, here's a great guide on how to deal with it:Having basic human respect for a girl does not mean youan award, much less her friendship. Yes, you can ask to be friends with her! Yes, you can ask to make a party with her! No, she is not obliged to do any of these things because you're a nice person!(This applies to real life as well.)
