It’s not a matter of who does or doesn’t. It’s a matter of when, why, for what, what kind, and how often.

Your average man speaking up in a game isn’t likely to get a significant response. He might get insulted, but it’ll be during the course of the game, and often as a direct response to either his performance or something he says. And the harassment will often end once the match is over.

If your average woman so much as utters a single word will often get dog piled IMMEDIATELY, often long before she even has a chance to prove herself, and it’ll literally be for no reason, completely regardless of skill or words. Sometimes she doesn’t even need that; all she needs is a slightly feminine sounding name. And the harasser will often start spamming DMs and back searching for socials so that they can spam the woman with rape/death threats.

People who fall back on “everyone receives insults” fail to account for the scale of the problem, and the scope/intensity/frequency of the harassment.

I’m in LA, have tried most KBBQ places, and have literally never seen perilla. Just a lettuce salad.

Ifeel like I’m missing out now :(

(i see radish and rice paper often tho)

This must be so nice to have the best of both worlds. Fame at high levels is a ducking nightmare.

What do you think are some of the biggest problems in gaming right now (either culture or industry), and how would you go about fixing them?
