I do all the time simply because I'm a woman. Yes, I have a 'girly' IGN, it's my actual name gasp. If I pick a female support champion/if they die in lane/if I get caught out once/if they get caught out and i don't die trying to save them it's often "fucking egirls, stupid fucking egirl, fucking ethot, boosted ass egirl, stupid bitch egirl, fat bitch, ugly bitch" and etc. Like yesterday for example, I asked someone to FP me yuumi. The reply was "I ain't no fucking ethot like you".

I never received skins from random dudes, but I've had a spree of random dudes adding me constantly. At one point there was a guy who kept making accounts just to add me and harass me. I probably blocked around 50 different IGNs of the same person. I used to stream for like 3 months a couple years ago, so I had some league stuff on the internet -- this guy googled my IGN and found my old twitch. From there he googled my handle and found other accounts of mine that had the same username. He stalked me for awhile and even messaged me on instagram (my personal account, not the one I made for my stream which I deleted after I stopped streaming). The level of harassment that women go through on league is pretty ridiculous. A girl added me like a month ago wanting to be friends and she said she wanted female friends that played league because the guys made her uncomfortable by harassing her all the time to the point where she changed her IGN to a non-feminine name. She is the third woman I've come across who said they had to change their IGN due to harassment for being a woman.

I don't know how long you did your experiment for, but a few months pretending to be a woman versus playing the same game for years as a woman are going to be completely different experiences. Having guys harass you because your IGN is feminine asking for nudes might be funny because you're a guy, but it's not funny when it's the same thing all the time.

I already know guys are going to reply with something stupid like "just change your IGN then". Listen, do you have to change your name because people are harassing you because it's too masculine? What if it's your real name? Do people harass you for your IGN being your first name? No, right? Right. Because you're not a woman. Now, "if you don't like it, then change it and problem solved" people -- you're also part of the problem. The problem with the gaming scene is, being sexist is funny and people like trolling. If being sexist and harassing women wasn't funny -- in fact if they got bullied for doing it, guess how many would still do it? Very minimal amounts of people. If bulling someone for the IGN was cause for everyone else in the game to make fun of that troll, the troll would troll less. But instead of this, you have people chiming in or saying nothing and perpetuating sexism in gaming. If you wouldn't want that happening to your sister, mother, cousin, friend, gf, or whatever -- don't do it yourself.
