    I’m at the point in my life where I don’t play games that rely heavily on voice chat. If I can disable it, I do. If i can’t disable it, and it is not deemed a necessity to have success in the game, I just ignore it and play the game on mute.

      I play a lot of Hunt and it’s near unique in having local voice chat everyone can hear, but almost no one is an asshole. I’ve played with a number of women randoms over the years and never heard anyone given them shit about being women. I think that’s near unique in gaming.

        Lethal Company has been very accepting and…well, joyous, in my time. Numerous women voice chatters, people using correct pronouns, and just generally supporting and helping others.

      If I can disable it, I do.

      This is the first thing I do when I boot up a new online MP game. The majority of people nowadays don’t even use voice chat and the few who do are usually the most obnoxious people you can imagine.

      My only exception to this is Battlebit because the proximity chat is consistently pretty funny and people usually aren’t assholes in that game specifically

        Yeah, I am way too much of a casual nowadays, so I’m either playing single player games, or games like WoW where I can get away with minimal interactions. The few interactions I need to have, I’m content with doing so in text chat.

        It helps how frequently the hammer swings, I’ve only heard a single slur and the person got banned.
