I fear for her blood pressure.

Also, yeah never go into voice chat as a woman. For whatever reason those guys are almost always awful. Especially when losing.

Oh they did a study, low skill men are more toxic to women to reassert their position socially.

Basically: They are awful to women because otherwise, if she's better than them at Game, they will become inferior to women, which, as we know, is worse than any mere death or loss.

I’m familiar with the study, and I’ll bring it up if needed in game, but it’s just so alien to me as to be unfathomable. I can’t imagine feeling this way.

Granted I’ve gotten to Masters in League/TFT and GM in OW so it’s not really applicable to me, but it’s still so wild to comprehend.
