ReviewWarning: Overwatch
Posted June 10, 2022 by WitchQueen in Games

I have played Overwatch every single seasons since it came out and all of the prominent WoW expansions Blizzard had until now. I have say through every era where there has been annoying trolling levels of sexism, but Overwatch now might literally be unplayable for women. Men immediately complain about my voice, my call outs, my playing, everything. They gang up on me, use misogynistic terms and will even ID as trans over the mics and when I tell them they're male they scream that they're reporting me for transphobia.

Comp is a cesspool of men who cry, complain, and I now just leave matches when I have to deal with their bullshit. It doesn't matter how you act, they are toxic.

I really love the game. I look forward to OW 2, but the men that make up the community (if you can call it that ) are arguably the worst around. No community even in Apex or League has left the lasting bad taste like the consistent high ranking sexism in Overwatch.

Let me make it clear: women can do well in video games, but like most male dominated spaces they use abject misogyny to keep us out.

I wouldn't waste your time in competitive with this game. They really will eat even the strongest woman alive.

My brother plays this game a lot an he's the biggest asshole I know so I don't doubt it at all.

I play a different game called Transformice, and if you dress your mouse even vaguely feminine you get harassed by a bunch of horny teenage boys, which is disgusting for many reasons a big one being I'm a fucking adult and they're minors. When I beat boys in the game, theyve sometimes sent rape threats just for it. Males make video games and communities so unbearable and toxic and wonder why a lot of women aren't interested in playing them.
