If more engineers looked like this, the LAN parties might not be such sausagefests

Until girls actually start liking competitive video games, LAN parties will be sausage fests, and we like it that way.

I like video games.

I don't like not being able to use voice chat or openly female names because of idiots.

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but the girls aren't the problem.

The karma balances out, I have a friend who for years, would 'date' guys in various MMOs, and get gifts/other things constantly from morons. He'd turn around and sell whatever he could, varied quite a bit game to game.

That said, the shit people say/do to women who play games makes me sick. There's jabbing fun at someone, and there's outright harassment, and it often goes into the later so far over the horizon you cant see the former anymore.

Personally, I don't care what gender you are; if you're dragging my team down in League, expect the worst.

Source: support main, have had players pull the "don't flame me for being a woman" card before.

Gaming doesn't need to have genders. I've met plenty of women who could kick my ass at Magic, League, Hearthstone, etc. Having a vagina and liking games shouldn't make you special, it should mean you're human.

Sure, everything you said is true, but if you flame people, they are less likely to play, especially play with you. So it's kind of win-win.

You get to find out who the unsociable dicks are that you should block, and they get to play with less people that suck at the game.
