You list it alongside ills like sexual harassment and misogyny. Do you consider it a bad thing and if so, why? |
The imbalance in isolation isn't inherently bad, but considering the toxicity in the gaming community it's not exactly a stretch to surmise that female gamers often don't feel welcome to participate and be themselves on sites like this. VGC itself doesn't seem very toxic but the disparity still suggests part of a wider trend where female gamers will avoid or stay anonymous in places like this due to bad experiences.
