1. [+827, -67] Gamers not only sexually harass other gamers but also make jokes about your parents too. No matter how many times you report them, they just come back with a new username featuring sexual harassment. Too many criminals out there with weird mindsets like this.

2. [+669, -293] But when during a game would you ever reveal your gender? This is ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+312, -41] There really are gamers that sexually harass you ㅋㅋㅋㅋ One time I had to play support so I picked Soraka and this gamer kept harassing me like "you b*tch, why don't you heal on time?" and "b*tches like you need to be rammed by a man to play right"

4. [+52, -9] The problem here is the gamers who sexually harass other users but of course the best comment is some low IQ loser who totally missed the point of the article and is telling women not to reveal their gender in games ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+43, -4] That's why I don't talk during Overwatch or Battleground... the minute they hear a woman's voice, they verbally harass you.. ㅠ it's just fact...

6. [+28, -0] There really needs to be something down about men in their teens and twenties. There's a reason most people don't view men under the age of 25 as fully formed humans yet.

7. [+19, -4] This is pretty true. It's always the pent up losers in game who go crazy when they see a woman...

8. [+17, -2] It's actually so bad. If a woman is actually good at the game, they get enraged and start yelling at you and accuse you of being boosted. If a woman cooperates and starts getting along, they confess their love and end up getting turned down ㅋㅋㅋ then they go around trying to turn the group against her as if he's the victim... That's why most women stay muted on Discord to reduce the stress

9. [+10, -2] Anyone who's played any game will know just how bad it is ㅋㅋ 

10. [+6, -1] It's easy to catch harassment everywhere. I saw it a lot on Overwatch, and it embarrasses me as a fellow man. I don't get why there are so many trash out there ㅋㅋ
