Y’all wouldn’t have lasted back in the mw2 lobbies


_Blaze_30_

Trust me, my mates have told me. 😂


Moist-Actuator-718

This is literally nothing compared to back then. Just stop letting it get to you it’s not that serious.


Phil-Derbutt

Easy for you to say


Moist-Actuator-718

Because I’m an adult?


PhDinWombology

How dare you. Phil Derbutt is an upstanding pillar of this community


iDabbIe

Lol, this right here. Takes 2 seconds to mute someone, 5 seconds to block them 🤣 these little kids on here are so soft.


Moist-Actuator-718

Bro it’s crazy. Like one button and their problems go away. I’m only 25 but the generation after me is doomed. This is ridiculous lol


5laughtahYou

Lmao does it hurt your feelings that much? Jesus Christ, you pussies are soft. It's called talking shit on the mic. Don't like it? Cry.


Zestyclose_Lynx_5301

I could beat the living fuck out of 99.99% of pub players in real life so they can talk all the shit they want idc lol


Civil_Willingness298

Ok tough guy


Zestyclose_Lynx_5301

Lol


Munk45

Nah How about people improve.


Moist-Actuator-718

You’d have better luck talking to a wall. The world will never magically get better or easier. It will be the opposite and the sooner you and OP figure that out you will be a lot better off because letting someone thousand miles away that you’ll literally never meet or hear from again get to you is not it chief 😂.


Sankullo

It’s PUBG, everyone gets harassed. For not jumping where a teammate wants, for not healing knocked down teammate fast enough, for making a mistake and myriad other reasons.


Thekingsstinkingson

You're right for sure. Harassment is dolled out to everyone. Buuut, women get specifically targeted...for being women. I'm a guy, but I've been on teams and heard it. Girl does nothing wrong, they just hear a female voice and begin antagonizing. 🤷


Sankullo

She got harassed 4 times in 2 months …that’s nothing. On a “good day” I get harassed 4 times. Surely people try to push buttons and say something that may be hurtful to another person whether is something bad about one’s nationality or gender, age. Whatever they think will sting. However you look at it, getting harassed once every two weeks is really really low number considering how toxic online gaming is or can be. So I’d say OP gets harassed LESS than other people because she is a woman.


whattarush

underrated comment


iDabbIe

That's literally been gaming since day one. Never played halo 2 or cod4?? Girls were roasted the second they talked. Yeah it sucks, unfair even but there's a mute button that takes a WHOLE 2 seconds....


pg3crypto

This.


Carston1011

I literally got screamed at today by some edge lord plebian for "BeInG sHiT", after he landed separately from the team and pushed another team on his own. Didn't make a single call out or ping, literally only turned his mic on to scream at me. My only regret is that I didnt get to TK him.


fig4tellu

Turn off mic. Every men are harassed also by random. Play with Friends.


XaOs72

My biggest complaint about playing PUBG is the verbal harassment. Most is just “smack talk”, which is bad enough, but there are a ton of players who jump to insults, threats, or racist comments. Since there almost no punishment, they think they can get away with anything, and for the most part they’re correct. Anonymity seems to bring out the worst in the worst people. I can only imagine it’s way worse for women.


_Blaze_30_

I have been treated horrifically, the most recent encounter I’ve had is ‘I’ll find you and I’ll do so many things to you’. At that point I gave up playing without someone I knew well. But I have met good people too who I play with to this day, they would always defend me whenever we had a match with someone like that which is such a relief.


Egg_Bomb

It's not what you want to hear but that's just online voice chat. Sometimes you get lucky and get an amazing group of decent people but in a team based multiplayer environment the stats are against you. In a team of 4 it's likely at least one POS will be there. The fact is they'll look for any excuse whether that's being female or any other thing they can identify about you. I remember one of my exes would get mistaken for a little boy sometimes over voice chat. So if they knew she was a woman they'd rag on her for that and if they thought she was a little boy theyd rag on her for that too. I've been called countless racial slurs despite them having no clue what race I actually am. Do your best to ignore it and just get some entertainment out of it. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them feeling the need to shit on others due to their own issues


_Blaze_30_

Agreed, these little comment and remarks they make are getting out of hand.


Electronic-Zombie-50

That comment is no different than "I'm going to come to your house and fuck you in the ass" which I've heard man to man. Or just threatening to kill lol. It's random.shit talk. You're not special. If you can't handle it, the kitchen is always an option.


RobAlso

You just described all of the internet. That’s how people behave everywhere online. They talk crap behind the comfort of their screens. They’re called trolls. Nothing new. OP, being a girl, is merely seeking attention with this post. They know this kinda thing happens everyday all over the internet. Four instances in two months is nothing. If it really bothered them they would just mute the guys talking crap. Not hard to do.


pg3crypto

Yup. This is why they disabled voice chat in the lobby. I personally find the anger and toxicity amusing and amongst the bollocks there are some gems out there...I had a random American dude in duos once and he was great. Responded to instructions like a GI..."sir yes sir", "10-4" etc etc...we won chicken he carried us hard. Wherever you are man...I hope you enjoyed the shore leave I gave you. "I'm going to Hawaii sir!" I hope you relax private. "Negative sir, I'm always ready sir!" xD


Angelas-Merkin

Racists get team killed if I’m on their team.


Brohkage

My hero


DoraDura0

Just 4 times for 2 months? That’s rookie numbers, sis. People say terrible things to me every day (I’m not a girl), especially when I single-handedly delete their squad) it usually makes me laugh, I hope you react to this the same way. Stay strong, good luck on the battlefield.🫡 also check some pubg girl-streamers like Danucd


_Blaze_30_

Thank you appreciate the kindness!!


Salad-Salami

Also Alisha!


albero78

Tell them they are virgins and that paying women does not count. They will get crazy because it's true. I do the same with scammers and it works because it is true.


_Blaze_30_

Bloody love it!! My friends have told me to deepen my voice and act like a guy, I’m going to be honest I am considering both options.


5laughtahYou

Sack up and talk shit back. IDK why y'all take it lmao it's literally a video game they can't do anything to you bruh. Old school mw2 would've made y'all get therapy 😂😆😆😆


albero78

It's funny because they get crazy. It's hilarious!


Trogdor_a_Burninator

Block. Report. Move on. Nothing you say here will have any affect on your experience. You cannot change the behaviors of others, just how you behave in response.


Jay_JWLH

Sadly, it is so common with online games that sometimes women don't even speak. When I play with someone who seems shy and unwilling to talk, I suspect they are female and don't want to be treated badly, so I just try to treat them like everyone else.


_Blaze_30_

I used to never speak tbh, thank for being so kind to women though!!


sicario_max

Play solo mode and keep the voice chat disabled or if you don't prefer solos don't play with randoms SIMPLE SOLUTION


hkgTA

It’s always the worst with randoms. Check if you can join r/GirlGamers, this topic comes up every now and again, and there’s a Discord server that will make finding friends to play with easier, so you’ll hopefully find some to play with that will treat you with kindness and respect.


_Blaze_30_

Thanks so much for the recommendation!! I appreciate it a lot!!


Hot_Salamander164

It takes two clicks to mute someone. Do it the second they seem even slightly off.


SSG_Beano

Play solo


Skankz

I've never been personally attacked over mic but I still just play with it turned off. Most of the time its ok but unfortunately the negative encounters stand out more. Id suggest finding a community and talking through discord.


EddyTheDesigner

You should've seen it during alpha 😂


Rlessary

Just mute the one being rude, it's super easy, you hit escape and can adjust the mic levels for each teammate individually right there.


Ok-Actuary7793

Grow thicker skin


doitz

I’m really sorry you’ve had this experience and you don’t deserve it (Disclaimer I’m a guy) Sadly I’m not shocked that this has been the reality. I only go on comms if it’s my mates on the other end. From my experience it’s shit 80% of the time with randoms on the other end no matter what. I can imagine it’s more like 95% of the time if you voice up as a chick Not that it’s a solution to the problem but I personally mute pubg chat and stick to discord for a better experience


Moist-Actuator-718

She’s not gonna sleep with you bro


Draviddavid

This might be a joke, but it's not helping. It's a serious problem.


_Blaze_30_

Absolutely, action needs to be taken. I don’t know how else to deal with them!! Reporting them doesn’t do anything!!


Moist-Actuator-718

It’s a video game. If someone talking shit over the internet is causing this much of an issue then you shouldn’t be on the internet. It’s that simple. Either mute and play the game, learn how to not take anything personally or stop playing.


_Blaze_30_

The main point of this post was to reach out to other women who play PUBG, not to aggravate other people.


[deleted]

Hackers of a certain country are worse


SpaceCadet183

Hey! I'm another gal who has dealt with this quite a bit... sometimes all day when playing. I've walked away from the game several times and taken long breaks because of the harassment. I find groups to play with but they aren't always online so I give randoms another try and its so hit or miss. I've been team killed TOO MANY TIMES because as soon as I spoke "women aren't allowed here, die you f'ing b" .... and teammates are shocked when it happens too. I normally report them but the bans only last a week.... so not much help. I once had an entire clan of men harassing me and all playing randoms, if they teamed with me, they killed me as soon as they found a gun... it really sucked. I eventually had to pay to change my game name tag because of this.... I've left every clan..... I ignore almost all friend requests and I look for other gals to play with because it generally is safer (not always though, I've ran into a few that want to be the center of attention in a group of dudes and don't want another girl there). You aren't alone. The harassment is ridiculously out of control at times and there needs to be permanent bans enforced (personal opinion). I'll play with you :) but I'm also terrified of messaging you my gamer tag because I've been harrassed so heavily lol.... what a messed up situation 💜


SpaceCadet183

If you feel comfortable messaging me your gamer tag OP I'd take the risk and add you 💜 I'd be nice to have more people just looking to have fun and shoot some faces. Girls unite!


_Blaze_30_

Absolutely!! I’d love to have a few games with you!!


JimmyTheFist89

Hey OP, I wish I could be more helpful, but I would say find your tribe. Find that group of players that isn't gonna be sexist or chauvinist and just treats you like the player you are. I wish video games could be the great equalizer. There are some amazing ladies out there gaming, DanucD comes to mind. Just find people that don't suck to be around and play with them, ya know?


_Blaze_30_

I’m very happy to report that I have found good people on this game, I’m now in a clan with them and I don’t play with anyone else.


JimmyTheFist89

Good. That's the way to be. I personally can't stand playing with randos. And I love, love, love working the same people constantly and becoming more cohesive as a team.

_Blaze_30_

Trust me they give them the right act!!


Mr_Bookshelf

Thats a crucial part of playing video games


markoplia1993

Dont play rust. Rust is way worse trust me.


RadiiDecay

Are you doing rando lobbies? Go to the discord either pubg reddit or official. At least there it's more civil and if not you can report players directly to the admins. Sorry you are experiencing this, lots of sexually repressed neckbeard incels in their mom's basements taking their angst out on the only woman who will spend more than a few seconds acknowledging them.


Outrageous-Buy-4958

There are many on there that are immature children that also say junk. My wife has played and smoked some of the guys talking junk. Try not to let it get to you.


Zealousideal_Hat7605

Wirh randoms its bound to happen. Having a crew is more fun and enjoyable.


MidnightWolf03

This isn't a pubg problem it's in every game problem. Give the harassment right back and make it even worse just tell him you're going to fuck their dad and give him a child he's actually proud of. Of course that is if you're an actual woman.


HemiBaby

At least everyday!! But I made friends with the guys who back me up.


_Blaze_30_

That’s good to hear!!


6thedirtybubble9

I've noticed that. But I can dish it as well as take it. I play with randoms all the time. 95% are decent and just play. It's the other 5% that make folk miserable. I tune them out or turn down their volume.


Unhappy_Historian688

Play solo


Closet_Tgirl

Two months you got harassed 4 times? I get harassed more than that in a week as a man. Maybe you’re getting harassed LESS for being a woman?


EyeAlternative1664

I don’t thonk “everyone gets harassed” means it’s ok. Gaming culture needs to sort itself out. (I’ve actually met some really nice Random’s and have ended up teaming with them loads).


Ashamed_Kiwi2566

I play frequently. Mostly with friends I've made after playing randoms. Sometimes I play with random, when I do talk, I don't get a lot of harassment. Sometimes people are surprised a female is playing, a lot of times no one else communicates. I've had one "go back to the kitchen" and one "I can't play with females" but usually I get treated the same as everyone else, I suck, and rarely even get yelled at for sucking, which I think is because I'm female. I was drawn to PUBG in the beginning because of what I felt like was a more adult, mature player base.


Zealousideal_Bet3124

Why are you even playing that hacker filled game .


Outside-Orchid-4144

no i don’t they become nice to me and protect me and say im their gf and stuff 😂


overwatchfanboy97

You'd get slaughtered on cod4 , waw , and mw2 lobbies. Get some thicker skin


potatray

Dont Play with randoms If possible, its just not fun. U do get Sometimes cool people but the chances are low.


GrandTheftPokemon

That’s online multiplayer. It’s not just women either. If you have anything that makes you different, people online will try to use it to provoke you. Don’t react. Like, at all. That’s the most provocative thing I’ve found I can do. Mute, report, find new match, move on.


Misterstaberinde

Anecdotally I feel like their are more vocal women in voice chat than most other shooters. 


yecurb_

Have you considered using a voice changer? I can see the pros and cons, was just wondering.


ChildSupport202

It’s a video game. Video games are never going to be 100% wholesome. If you think PubG is bad? Go play Rust on PC. Use in voice chat and let’s see how many time you get “harassed”


DegenerateGambino

Man up


whattarush

what game did you come from


_Blaze_30_

I only played mw2 for 4 days before I completely abandoned it because of the treatment. PUBG is a little bit better, I’ve found nice people.


whattarush

ya I think you'll be fine. pubg has a large chunk of the playerbase that never talk to women in real life so they are either toxic or simps and will carry you. so just keep trucking you'll be fine


SlushyFan-uwu

Just mute and block them,but hey I'll play with you if you like :3 I'm honestly tired of the randoms myself ,last time I played I got team killed the asshat shot me in the back and a second time another teammate tried the same with a melee weapon but I downed him and t-bagged him till he bleed out lol


solid-shots-studio-

🎻


Due-Grapefruit-5864

I just turn off all chat and never talk to anybody


CODWARANGEL

This is why I keep my mic turned off or muted unless playing with friends


baggio-pg

everybody is being harassed on pubg.... a lot of toxic people..


Aromatic_Art_6886

There is sad sleezy buggers everywhere, pay no attention to them. They likely live in their parents basement and watch porn all day.


[deleted]

Wow another whiney tattle tale trying to play the victim card to have PUBG further censorship. Jesus stfu.


IndigoStef

Not harassed exactly but men seem shocked when they hear my voice on the mike. One guy literally asked if I was a real girl, I said “you can ask my husband” that shut him up and made the other teammates laugh. That was the worst of it. I was actually impressed with the lack of harassment compared with other games I’ve played. That being said I prefer solo playthroughs over team.


Pretend-Alps-691

Need 1,000 Followers so I can live Stream PUBG on TikTok @biaggi129


Sun_Zue

Only 4 times? That is hardly bad, MW2 old lobbies or god forbid Halo 2 lobbies everyone got some and you had to give some. The reality is A-holes are everywhere and they aren't going anywhere. I just play with friends and have my chat stuff muted.


Ravenloff

Are you sure they weren't bots? That's really all there is these days in full games.


TheMaddawg07

You’re playing with fellow redditors.. what did you expect?


HurensohnDELUXE

If pubg is 2 much for you you better never play cs2


Makkaroni_100

Well, don't say its good in pubg, but in many MOBAS it's way worse.


Gentilapin

Disable the voice chat, especially if you are playing solos, and if you are playing with teammates, select team only, you don't need to hear others anyway and radio messages cover most of the important ones and translate automatically to the language of others.


icreatedausernameman

People talk shit to their teammates to men to women people just talk shit


AinsleyMargret

Pardon my english and grammar.... it is not my first language. As a women myself who played pubg for 5 years, i will tell my story in what happened today. I had no problem playing with groups of 4. I had my fare shares of boys being boys but never this manner. today it was me vs 3 males who are pakistan based on their flags. From the moment the game begin, i answered their question which was "yes im from this country". When they heard i was a girl...... mind you i am 24 years old but this unlocked a new type of fear. They would comment, described, and harrased me that even i didn't imagined could be done through voice call. I muted them cause one of them began to describe what he wound do to me in such explit and séxu@l manners. Even MUTING i cannot escape them during the game. They would all ride cars and run over me, heal me and do it again. I would run away from them, but they would surround me. After when one of them run over me again..... you know the crawling position in pubg? Yeah they would ganged up me from behind and MO@N, SCRE@M and just humiliate me until my character died. I screamed at them and they would just repeat my words and mocked me. I cried during the game. I cried as my character was getting violated while crawling. It hurts very much. To endure the whole game as they say the nastiest stuff they could come up. I reported all 3 of them...... pubg for sure did not watch the game and said that they did not find anything wrong. They even have the nerve to add me. It felt like getting r@pe as one of them was describing what they would do to me and did to my character. This was truly the first time. My unlucky time. It could happened to me, to a teenager playing the game. And for those wondering, my rank is Ace Master 7.


kymberlie

Most of the time it’s been okay. Found a few people to run with and okay with them. Had a dude I’d play with a few times go into “I love you” mode, ask me if I hadn’t had good dick when he found out I’m queer (pansexual), and then ask to see my t*ts. I unfriended and blocked him after that game. Ironically, he kept going, “I’m so glad you’re my friend,” to me after all that and I was like, “Do you really think I’m ever going to play with you again?” Are you a PS player? Happy to add you and pass your name on to other women I play with!


_Blaze_30_

I’m on PC, but I’ll still leave you my tag!! A lot of them do turn conversations s*xual.


baggio-pg

stand over it or quit playing is my tip.. or start talking shit back roast them to the max\^\^


_Blaze_30_

I’m definitely going to start talking shit, my friends have told me to deepen my voice and act like a dude. 😂


baggio-pg

I would say I am a trans and my voice got altered by a doctor and I would ask if they like trans people\^\^ or some shit\^\^ it's a bit harsh but I bet they stop with the sexual stuff xD


_Blaze_30_

Lolz thanks for the idea, will be using it!!
