The first time I saw my boyfriend play a lady, I was a bit surprised. Then I saw him moving the camera around in questionable ways and it all made sense. xD

I was 16. With another 16 years under my belt, nope, not weird in the least.

My ex-husband also played female chars "because they're a smaller target", so. Whether it's borderline creepy or tactical, you do you broh.

I'm so old that I actually played some of the original video games. And I have never played a multi-player pvp game that didn't have it's share of ass-hats. And the more popular it is, the more soul crushers there will be.

I didn't mention it, but you are probably playing with people that are not that mature, so you have to take that into account. Be the bigger person and ignore them if you can.

So you have to decide, either you can handle it, you can ignore it, or you choose another type of game to have fun playing. I don't want to write a book, but I should tell you about the time someone griefed my Minecraft world. I thought I was safe and sound, just building stuff in the woods. But no, someone blew my whole world up. I just started over again and laughed about it.

If you are talking about pro level teams shouting at each other it is all a mental thing. I dont like getting loud at LANs but even just hyping your teammates up after a good round will have an effect. you can feel momentum shifts especially with less experienced players. As for the cod lan personal type stuff, not a fan but still mental prolly.

Also keep in mind, talking to get into someone's head can be done much quieter on a field/court than through headset ear cups across a room. So you hear it more
