Foxy 🏳️‍🌈 of the Night Fae 🌈

league is adding voice chat and men are really acting confused about why women don't want it like we haven't been playing valorant, overwatch, and CS for years like we don't already know exactly what's going to happen the second you speak it's one of three things: "oh shit a girl, add me after" "oh shit a girl, gg go next" or just straight up harassment there's no other option men act like we're being dramatic but we've lived this in every game with voice we know the script we know how it goes and the funniest part is men swearing "just mute them" we've been muting OUR entire existence in YOUR games we play better when you don't know we're here because the second you know suddenly every mistake is because we're a girl every loss is our fault every play we make gets questioned even when we're carrying even when we're higher rank even when we're just better it doesn't matter because even when we play at a man's best, we need to play 10x better than that for it to mean something we spoke in voice so now we're a "boosted egirl" men really think voice chat will improve communication meanwhile women have been communicating fine with pings for 15 years we learned the entire ping system we learned to type fast between plays we learned to shotcall without ever speaking because we had to and now men want us to just "give voice a try" like we haven't already tried in every other game like we don't already know that the second we speak half the lobby focuses more on our voice than the game either trying to impress us or trying to run us off the platform there's no in between so yeah we're not excited about voice chat not because we're shy because we're tired tired of proving we deserve to be here tired of the "damn you're good for a girl" tired of getting friend requests after one good game tired of callouts turning into flirting we just want to play the game but men can't let that happen they have to make it about us being women every single time so we'll keep voice off we'll keep pinging we'll keep carrying silently and men will keep wondering why women don't use voice while being exactly the reason we don't study the luumi way
