this. men DO have an advantage in video games. Sampling bias: more men play competitive games than women do. more samples means higher chance one of those samples will be the highest. Socialization: Of the small amount of girls who did grow up playing video games we more often than not didnt play games like cod or halo (for me it was mario and minecraft) Resources: Mens teams get vastly more funding, better coaches, play against better teams, etc. The solution to this is NOT segregating gender. Game changers is NOT about giving women an easier playing field because we don't need an easier playing we need access to the SAME playing field and since trans women, trans men, and non binary people are all also in need of that, they belong there just as much as anyone else. We need access to the same resources, encouragement, and upbringing, none of which relates to biology. You do not care about women, you do not support women, you see us as inferior and in need of a "little league". Do not use me to spew your transphobic and misogynist rhetoric. If you're a woman and you're against playing against trans woman you have a massive skill issue and should be ashamed that you're latching onto hate to cushion your fragile ego instead of just putting in the dedication everyone else has to. thanks for coming to my ted talk. froggy out

if i may add my two pence to the “girls only” valorant tournament i am seeing on my TL (as the person that created women in esport’s lioness cup and has plenty of TO exp)- it’s clear there’s a real demand for more grassroots tournaments in the women’s VALORANT space, but also some education needed on what’s truly inclusive. excluding minority groups can actually harm the community, despite this being an attempt to engage with it. as a TO - be clear in how you communicate with your community (so they know what to expect) - but most importantly, be open to feedback, instead of shutting those voices down.
