Why is it so hard for female guardians?
Why is it so hard for girls, like myself, to not deal with the toxicity of the community and to find other women in the community? I know we dont put ourselves out there like "Hey Im a female destiny 2 player looking for friends!"
But when we find someone and we think its another female Destiny 2 player and it turns out to be a guy, we either recieve toxicity from them, get harassed/bullied, or we get kicked from their groups without being given a chance or get blamed for mistakes that werent us. (happened to me in my run of Kings Fall after Warpriest on opening weekend)
Have any other women, other than me, faced this issue while playing? I would love to hear responses from both New Lights and Vets of the community

2 RepliesI’m a guy and I’ve been in plenty of groups where a girl joins (clan members and randoms) and it ALWAYS goes south. Not by anything the girl does, but because the other guys in the group get; A) really weird and crack crude jokes, B) act creepy and immediately try getting -blam!-, C) they try to become her knight in shining armor by defending her from anyone else’s rude comments, and simps super hard. I have yet to be in a group where every guy can act normal and manage to get something done while in a fireteam.
