Just beat Crota hard mode with a group of guys (they knew I was a woman from the start). When it comes down to it, most of the adults (key word being "adults" and I'm not talking about age necessarily, but maturity level) that play this game value skill over what gender you are. Sure there's a lot of immature assholes on here, but -blam!- 'em. Don't be afraid to use your mic or play as a female character. Enjoy the game you paid for and don't worry about what some randos on the internet think. (Edit: I'm on xbox one, if you plan on upgrading in the near future lmk. I'd be happy to raid with you)
