If this happens to a celebrity posting about a 20 year old Nintendo game system, I can only imagine what it's like for your average female logging into modern competitive shooter.
Gamergate never went away. It was the precursor to the youthful fadcisti, in many ways. We need women in these spaces to help diffuse the malignant culture. They'll remain targets of harassment tho, so it's up to everyone to police misogyny, and racism for that matter, too.

This shit is just so ridiculous when you step back and look at it. . . Like at toddler play when I was a kid and they gave the boys the toy trucks and gave the girls the dolls. That was in the fuckin early 70s and it was bollocks even then. Video games are for whoever wants to play with them, and so are trucks and dolls.
