I love video games and would love for my daughter to grow up wanting to play with me but I would never let her play online. Guys are constantly rude 24/7 and make truly vulgar jokes that are inappropriate for women. Or guys immediately turn creepy and try to pickup any girl that happens into a lobby. Its really embarassing when a girl hops on and within the minute there is usually some sexual reference regarding the mouth.
How do girl players actually play any games without being harassed or play without their mics on mute 24/7? Can you forsee women having a place in the gaming community in the future? Besides just the attractive girls that play or model for games and magazines in skimpy clothing? Do women have a chance in gaming?
At this juncture there is no way I would let any girl play video games online and that is such a sad reality imho.
Edit: valid points made about sheltering but what do we do as a society. I know this is unanswerable question. Just a conversation piece. I find it concerning the answer is to deal with it and no proactive response. Thanks for the responses guys guess first time parent worries.

I think in the future girls will become more staple in gaming phone games they're already a predominant majority it seems and they supposedly make up 30% of the hard core gaming population supposedly. There will always be harassment though unfortunately it's just a fact hence they will have to either adapt or be very picky with who they associate with until things generally change in a larger level in the community.

1 返信Call of Duty is terrible for this. No matter which CoD, there are four types of guys: Guys who are completely chill and cool, who you generally end up partying up with often. Guys who'll hit on you immediately and not stop until they're muted. Guys who think it's hilarious to call you a fat dyke with 50 kids (which.. makes sense? O.o) note: these are typically between the age of 12 and 16. And guys who don't have mics.

You should allow her to have some exposure to the real world, but of course, teach her to ignore everything and anything inappropriate. This is a good way of helping her gain some independence because you will not always be there to protect her.
