Men aren’t allowed to post there (which isn’t discriminatory) so I’ll post here.

real talk gals how do I tell my husband I can’t play with him anymore? We play a co-op game together and I just don’t have a good time playing with him anymore. He gets angry over the smallest things. For example, he raged quit because one other player accidentally interfered with him getting an achievement, noone res him on time, and etc. It’s always everyone’s fault or the game’s fault when we don’t complete missions…I tell him he needs to chill and have fun because that’s the whole point of gaming. Anyways, I love playing this game and I would rather play with other people at this point… (I didn’t put the name of the game. He might find this post lol)
Get a divorce.

I love horror games – I played RE7 a bit slow to appreciate all artwork and spooky atmosphere. It makes it way more immersive that way and now it’s my favourite game of all time. It scared me so much I had to take breaks haha, but I think that’s part of the fun of appreciating horror. My housemate is also a big RE fan and I told him that this game was really fun and scary and that he should play it sometime. He did pretty much a speed run of it on his first attempt and said “is this supposed to be scary?” “you must be really easily scared” like come off it man. Why do men have to do this?
Because all men are giant jerks. You should become a lesbian. If you’re not already.
Somebody did a picture of two video game ladies in love. Happy “Pride Month” to all the lesbian gamer grrls out there.

My partner loves DOTA and was watching a game and I was looking over and there was a female commentator and it made me happy but the teams and coaches were entirely male and all the other analysts were male and it just seemed so ridiculous. We had a conversation about it and apparently there once was a full female DOTA team (unknown what happened to them) but it just seems like esports (much like other sports) is just so male centric. Why, when there are so many gamers that identify as female, is there no room for us in pro-gaming communities?
Your “partner”, huh? I hear you loud and clear. Happy Pride Month.
As to your question, perhaps women aren’t as interested in “gaming” as you think that they are. Or at least not to a competitive level. They’re not being excluded. These places are gagging for women to join. Women don’t seem to be interested.

Anyone else get kinda insecure when starting a new game, especially an online multiplayer FPS? I’ve been tryna get into Valorant but Im the type who stays loyal to a game and I had been playing Overwatch for years before I finally lost interest. Now I’m a total noob and I feel so lost! Its hard for me to push through this phase of being insecure about being the worst player on each team in every match I join and I get lost around the maps sometimes. Is this just a me thing or does anyone have any tips for this?
Nobody cares if you suck. Just make an effort. If anyone gives you any shit, they’re probably children.

Why is everybody on Rainbow Six Siege so misogynistic??
I absolutely love the game and am trying to get back into it, but whenever I unmute my mic I get harassed. It’s hard to even want to play anymore when my team is always full of assholes. Does anyone else have this issue with R6S?
Do most people use voice chat in that game? I fucking hated whenever somebody would use voice chat in a game. I always turned that shit off. I don’t want to hear some 13 year old kid trying to boss people around and talking about how everybody sucks.
But yeah, everybody is misogynistic in Rainbow Six. Maybe try Cat Quest.

I just need to get this off my chest. Had a very toxic game of Valorant, some weirdo incel type was saying increasingly more demented sexual stuff, I muted him after the first sentence but my friend told me what he said.
We asked the enemy team to report, and seeing as they had 3 out of 5 with pride banners, we thought they’d understand and help. Instead they made fun of us for asking for help.
I couldn’t help myself and said that pride flags are meant to be a sign that you are supportive.
Further bullying ensued.
It’s very disheartening and disillusioning that even LGBT people perpetrate toxicity towards women and other LGBT players.
I know being LGBT doesn’t automatically make someone a good person, but it still hurt.
You should have muted your friend too. Just play the game, you fucking clown. Stop trying to create drama.

Somebody posted a tattoo of some video game dagger (I guess) that she got on her chubby leg. Happy Pride Month, madam.

This post goes to all of you, to the warriors and the wonderful women who continue to make a stand against the silliness of the world. For those who empower and support each other over fighting each other down. When the world goes into chaos we remain strong and absolute. Leaders of everything we put our minds to. You are amazing! Hope this Monday finds you all well :3
Wait…what are we talking about here? Happy Pride Month anyway.

Online games for someone with social anxiety
To elaborate, I can’t handle rude and judgemental people. The slightest bit of disappointment or anything that seemed like they don’t want me to play will literally make me stop playing the game. BUT, I also want to make friends because I feel lonely.
So anyone here who knows any game that is fun and also has warm friendly players? I tried among us for a while but I remember joining a discord group where they literally left when I wouldn’t talk -as they were already talking to each other- when they’re already inside a group bubble of just 7 people. Did it two more times and both times I was either rejected or ignored.
Please don’t judge me. I really just want friends
Yeah. Any of them. I don’t know what Discord has to do with anything. Find a game that you enjoy playing and play it. Mute anyone who’s an asshole. This isn’t challenging stuff, ladies. I have the same fucking experiences. Everybody does. I write a message on a video game message board and some asshole will give a stupid reply. I’m playing a game and some asshole will start complaining that I suck. These games are TEEMING with assholes. Because they’re children. These are children’s games. Nothing to do with misogyny. Mute them and continue playing.

Ive been a console gamer for a very long time but I’ve played alone mostly. I’m just wondering if there are any online games that are good for dipping your toes into the water? I did play gta online for a short while a few years ago with some work colleagues but ngl I’ve lost some confidence. I’d really appreciate any advice/suggestions!
Yeah, online Grand Theft Auto 5 is awful. I played it once. Nothing to do with the people playing the game. It was just a stupid game. No fun.
As for good online games, any of them. Find something that you like. I mean…what the fuck? What I like is probably different from what you like. We all have video game preferences.

New to twitch!
I’m super shy tbh.. so it’s totally nerve racking but I enjoyed all the nice people. I got into twitch because my bf is a COD God and has quite a lot of viewers but… everytime I had a guy in my channel he would act super wierd and hop in my chat. He also refuses to play with me because I’m a newb. So I stopped for like a month but I think I want to start playing again. I saw the just chatting option. Can anyone please tell me what just chatting is all about? Any tips or pointers for games and twitch will also be really appreciated!
Yeah, Twitch is a platform mostly for people who enjoy playing video games. That doesn’t sound like it’s you. So do something else.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/comments/nsp9x4/women_play_videogames_can_we_move_on/
Recently I’ve been teaching some friends how to play Valorant (they usually play CSGO). I got used to give a lot of calls and kinda organize the game. So, the other day I was playing with a few of them and some randoms. We played 3 games, and I was with my mic open, giving a lot of calls, etc. From those 3 games, I got 3 friend requests, one guy asking my for my Instagram and another asking if I was a girl. I think is my fault I still get surprised everytime this things happens. I feel like a live in a completely different reality than these guys. It’s the year 2021, women play videogames and always have, can we move on and get treated as anyone else?
They’re horny losers. Mute them and move on.
But imagine a world where you’re playing a video game, as a man, and women just flood you with offers for sex. That would be awful, wouldn’t it? Come on, ladies. I just want to play a video game here. Stop talking about how hot I am and all of the sexy stuff that you want to do with me.
I knew a guy years ago who took dance lessons. It was an Italian guy. Italian as in from Italy, not Italian as in Tony from Hack the Movies.
And he took these dance classes precisely because it was overwhelmingly women and the women would fight each other to have him as a partner. Not because he was some hot guy but just because it was either him or dance with other women.
He didn’t say, “Come on, ladies. I’m just here to dance. Can you stop fighting for my love and attention?” THAT’S WHAT HE WAS THERE FOR. He specifically went to these classes to receive the adoration of women. He didn’t give a fuck about dancing.
But women in video games don’t seem to like this. And that’s fine. You just want to play a game, not deal with horny losers. I get it. But you can either mute them or take up knitting. I mean, what can I say? They’re not going to stop. It’s overwhelmingly guys who are playing these games. What do you think is going to happen?
I'm going to guess one or more women you wanted to get with became or turned out being lesbians and that is why you rage so hard about them lol.
i know it's wild how much effort this dude puts in
The whole thing smacks of effort.
Ehhh it leans more rage filled incel than “effort”, but whatever helps you stave off suicide one more night.
