Raiders mistook me for a 12 year old boy.

I'm a 30 year old female gamer. (Too old to be a gamer girl.) Edit: I mean woman not girl by this. We were at least 15 min in when my husband said she is over there. Then someone said "she"? The mood quickly changed everyone was talking more and joking around a lot. Edit: Yeah I was just sharing how it felt being a squeaker. I just feel kind of bad for kids because no one wants to raid with them. Edit: Thanks for all the comments this has been fun to read. I love reading on the forums and have received a lot of help through them. It's the only reason I have black spindle honestly.

  • I'm mistaken for a girl sometimes, and their remarks are not as pleasant as you think. Last time I was, I finally heard a sexist remark everyone keeps saying happens

  • The worst raid I ever had was with a bunch of random red necks (who apparently knew each other) constantly talking over the top of one another without pause. Just a flow of meaningless words all thrown together.. I would take a squeaker over that any day

    • I made that same mistake once aswell I'm sorry And just to say, It's probably because of how crappy xbox/playstation mics are

    • Happens all the time, was raiding with a woman the other day, she sounded like a 12 yo boy over Xbl too. She was generally pretty quiet so Probably would have taken me a while to work it out if I hadn't seen her Dames of destiny tag when we were in orbit.

      • I don't really care about the pitch of someone's voice. What I do care about is someone freaking about every 10 seconds like they just got let outside for the first time and they have no idea what's going on. :p

        • I don't like their voice but most of all I just hate how they always think they know everything and can't do anything wrong. Like they will die and blame others

        • I don't think it's the sound of the voice itself of a younger person that bothers me. It's that they seem to insist on using it non stop. About everything. Wether you want to hear it or not. They speak non stop, without a pause, and instantly jump to 10 subjects in one breath. If I never hear yolo or swag on a mic again it will be too soon. They say it to them self (in what I guess they think is their cool voice) and laugh casually as they say it again like its some new catch phrase that they came up with on the spot. If they speak like a normal person that's there as a group to accomplish a goal. They don't bother me at all.

        • This happens to me so much hahahah. It's hilarious when they realize I'm not a 12 year old boy. Some people notice right away, but others really don't. It doesn't help my mic is super low.

          • I'm 14, and for some reason I'm always sounding like I'm 16 or 17, AKA: One-Two Years to the Age of Consent in America I swear, one time some LFG guy said, "How many Virginities have you taken?"

            • I'll tell all of you how we really feel. I get annoyed all of the time because of the typical 13 year old stereotype. I get immediately kicked from games just because I have a high pitched voice. I wish you guys just wouldn't care because not all of us are annoying idiots.[spoiler]yes, yes I know there are some people like that, but not all of us[/spoiler]Please give us a chance before kicking. I'm actually a good listener and pretty skilled at the game. The most enjoyable thing to me in destiny is when people don't care about my voice and we all end up having a fun time. /end rant

              • Im ok with most kids with that kind of voice. They just have to remember to keep quiet and listen when they need to.

              • I'm 37 and raid with a group of mid to late 20 year olds. I always have a blast listening to them smack talk. Keep searching, and you'll eventually find a group that you just mesh well with. Makes all the difference in the satisfaction of the game.
