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

      No, I was invited to join a discord with people who I thought would be cool and I was met with disappointing g*mer behavior

      Not by default, but the game is 1000x better if everyone sits in a discord room muted and unmutes during meetings.
