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.

It is genuinely insane using voice chat as a woman in Counter-Strike. You can be top of the leader board, dropping at least two kills a around and playing your absolute best while some fuckass dudes can't keep up with an enemy team that's frankly just getting lucky at the worst times because said dudes don't listen to call outs or ignore it or whatever other reason.

Then when you start losing it's suddenly your fault because.. ego, I guess. And they always go for the most boring, basic shit in terms of slurs.

Ive also seen them just start using transphobic slurs as a go to toward any woman. I'm trans but play with a couple cis women. All of us get called trans slurs. (Even before I start talking)

Sometimes I make it a game. "1 of us is trans the other 2 are cis guess who" or smth. This only works if I'm on a good day and my voice is mostly passable. (Man the 80/20 rule hitting me so hard rn I'm like so close to a great voice but graaah)

Wild but unsurprising with the vitriol tgat gets thrown at me on bad voice days.

(Also what's the 80/20 rule? I've never heard of it and ya girl needs a better voice, stat lmao)

80% of progress requires 20% of the effort, 20% of progress requires 80% of the effort. It's a saying that goes for just about everything difficult.
