Happy #InternationalWomensDay! But let's not forget the alarming trend of toxicity in gaming towards female players.

Bryter's Female Gamers Study shows that 72% of female gamers face this issue, up from 64% in 2021.

And it gets worse.
Take your pick from the horrible menu items below!

And this is from the women that HAVE reported negative behavior.

Only 38% of women feel that there are adequate processes to deal with toxicity.
Now, how can we change it?

When you see it, speak up. Report it. Send them a supportive note.

Ultimately, it boils down to letting them know they aren't alone and you have their back.

If you're a top-tier gamer, use your clout to set an example.
Game studios can implement and invest in better systems for reporting.

These acts occur when there is no light to shine upon them.

Join us in the fight against gaming toxicity. While we are a small indie studio, we welcome all to our community of heroes.
Retweet and share to spread awareness and support female gamers worldwide. We can't stand by and let this continue. It's time for change!
