There’s a widely held opinion in gaming that women generally suck at gamimg.

My two cents is that there’s simply not many women into video games due to lack of interest and the few who do get either sexist attacks or obscure enough to go unnoticed. This creates a cycle where elitism combines with existing lack of interest to scare off any potential newcomers which means there’s less of an incentive to be skilled which feeds into elitism.

    Many would understandably not reveal their gender with how toxic or creepy that many online gaming spaces are.

    Only from personal experience I know a few who are much better than me at strategy, action adventure or fighting games.
