   Not quite, it’s because the lower ranked “players” can’t stand to loose to anyone, remove the female of this equation, and you will see them pick on somebody else, typically flaming their mom, or something stupid like that

   Smack talk is a common part of FPS games, doesn’t matter if there is girls in the match or it’s “boys” only

   but hey I enjoyed the drawing style. <3

     The point isn’t that there’s smack talk, it’s the nature of the talk. Though it’s most vitriolic against females, the same can be said of minorities who sound like such over your headset. It’s a good indicator of the fear and anger inherent to a group in power losing its status to a group deemed (by their own narcissism) inferior.

     You’re incorrect. Banter I’ve received as a female gamer is often beyond hurtful. Calling a woman a whore, a cunt, or a slut is bad enough, but I’ve had threats of sexual assaults. While the your mom jokes are known as jokes, men, even ones online, threatening to rape you is not only demoralizing, it is terrifying. To a woman, the threat of assault by a man is a threat to take away power or control she has over her body. It digs deeper into us than a simple idle name calling. It crosses a line that even in banter should never be crossed.
