For the first time ever I joined a voice call while playing a game (among us) and as soon as I said something everyone immediately started going "Is that a female??" "You're a female??" "There are females here??" I get that it was supposed to be a joke but fuck it felt so alienating to be bombarded with that in my first attempt at gaming socially
I mean, I'd give it a couple more tries. There are creeps everywhere, but Among Us seems to at least have a level of mass casual appeal that it shouldn't be nearly as bad as something like Eve Online where the only kind of people playing literally never see daylight. From my experience, a lot of Among Us games are organized on Discord, and it might just be that you need to find a cooler group on there. My wife has a group of people she plays Animal Crossing with and they scheduled an Among Us cross-over event for tomorrow.
It does suck though. Really fucking weird that a woman can't play a goddamn casual game without being ogled by nerds over voice in the year of our Lord 2020.
