    Women shouldn’t have to bar themselves from multiplayer because dudes are insecure.

    You’re totally right, but that’s like saying ‘I shouldn’t have to stop swimming in the lake because that company has released all their sewage into it.’

    Yeah, it’s horrible and I could swim there with both middle fingers up the whole time, but this is my leisure time and I’m just tired of trying to make a stand everywhere. There’s a hot tub in my room.

      I should rephrase that. I feel that is all too common. Because every single woman has a story about this, while maybe 1/20 people have swam in sewage infested lakes unvoluntarily.

      Its just kind of tiring, I face absolute toxic masculinity at work everyday and I know my daughters are gonna have to deal with it when they get older.

        I’m sorry, none of us should have to deal with this in 2023. I truly hope your daughters won’t have to for long.

          I like that Nintendo basically didn’t implement voice and chat in the games of theirs I’ve seen so far. Seems to nip this dumbass issue in the bud.

            Yeah people talk shit about Nintendo being behind in this regard but I’m totally ok with not getting insulted by a dude passing me in Mario kart with proximity voip
