It’s sad you never hear feminine folks on voice chat.

2026 statistics, it's 53/46 male/female gamers in the U.S.

Women are gaming. They are probably just not in voice channels as much as men because who wants to deal with unmoderated sexist abuse while trying to enjoy a leisure hobby?

    who wants to deal with unmoderated sexist abuse while trying to enjoy a leisure hobby?

    Definitely one of the biggest failures of modern society.

    Do you call it out when you see or hear it? If you want women to show up, it's on you and your peers to make it a more welcoming environment.

    Uhuh, do you? It'd be kind of fucked up and shitty to suggest women are solely responsible for challenging misogyny and then not participate yourself.

    What makes you think I'm not a woman? Another reason people don't "see" women on the internet is the automatic assumption that someone is a man.

    What about my comment suggests that you're a man?

    The part where you say it's "shitty to suggest women are solely responsible for challenging misogyny and then not participate yourself" implies that I and 'the women' are completely separate entities.

    How..? You said a specific group of people is responsible for challenging misogyny, and I said that you better be doing something to help if you're going to do that (especially if you're saying the victims are the ones responsible). You read that as "you're a man," because you think shit is about teams or something. Yeah, someone who says something like this is likely a man, but women are misogynists too bud.
