Yeah especially in this game. Siege community is garbage unfortunately.
I mean, without heavy moderation I don't think there is anything you can do against this.
Your best bet as a female player is to play along or "not feed the trolls".
Yeah especially in this game. Siege community is garbage unfortunately. But believe me not only women experience this, we all do. I'm not taking a way anything from this or saying it's okay, but if you think of it that's what we all face while playing online. I won't say people are shit because I met great people online and generalizing anything is wrong. When you meet the kind of these asshole report and mute them to have a good time. Small advice: Don't feed the trolls
There's no way to police speech on XBL/PSN. You are always going to run into toxic individuals regardless of your gender -- the best way to handle these situations is to mute, block, and report. If you engage these people they will consider it a win.Then let's get heavy moderation in then rather than this sexist, and also frequently racist, wild west shit.

To everyone saying "don't feed the trolls " how the fuck is that possible when they start acting like this just after hearing a female voice? The only solution is to stay off the mic, which in certain games does impair gameplay.
How about instead we hold men to act like decent human beings? They only do this because other men don't call them out on their shit.

Didn't think I could roll my eyes this hard, but it's happening.
Been playing a lot of MP games this gen and for whatever reason, it really seems like the scum of the earth flock to Siege the most. Didn't expect that when I first started playing tbh. Now if I play with randoms, I just automatically put voice chat on mute for everyone.
It genuinely angers me to see this kind of stuff. It's one of the many reasons why I've mostly given up on any sort of multiplayer gaming.
You act cool and counter whatever they say.
If it they fire back and it keeps going back and forth, ask calmly if they (teammates) want to win this game or bitch around.
If that still doesn't work, you can still mute the others.
Honestly, I think a lot of people shouting "kill yourself" would shut up if you'd just go ahead with something like "why don't you try it first?". Harsh, but there's no reason not to be harsh to people telling you to kys.

Yuk that's disgusting. As a young (male) adult during my World of Warcraft days (2006-2010), I did countless voicechated PvE with girls, women, mothers, housewifes or single ladies without hearing a tiny fraction of this amount of garbage (I can't speak for them of course). Only creepy (or desperate) message while playing a female avatar.
Indeed. I don't really understand where's the fun in insulting other people while playing. Also the thought of "Women don't know how to play video games" must vanish.Which kills me, because the community started out awesome. People were communicative, helpful, polite, and wanted to win but also have fun.
But of course, like any game that gets popular, that goodness was diluted heavily by the idiots that came over from other big games.
I'm not saying the same, I'm saying it happens either you're a man or woman. There's no other solution but to report them. What are you going to do exactly? Talk to them about how it's wrong and make them stop? They won't.Nah it doesn't happen the same way and with the same intensity for everyone and no they are also not just trolls and no ignoring them is not actually the solution.
Gamers were a mistake. The only way they like women is fictional and naked.
This has nothing to do with being a "gamer".This shit is why I hate being called a "gamer".
Fuck this noise.
Lol all I said was that you can't police speech on a service like XBL/PSN so your best bet is to ignore and report trolls instead of giving them the attention they wantAhh yes once again, regardless of your gender, the desire to universalize harassment of women so you can play it off as just part of life is spectacular.
