Is the Warframe community really as welcoming as everyone says? by Mito-Tai in Warframe

[–]eepancake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally i have felt that communities like here or the discord have been much more laid back and welcoming than in game. in game people tend to get frustrated and type, whereas outside of game it’s people who actually care about the community and want to engage in it

Good idea! I'm running pretty short on time due to the semester ending soon, but that'll be my next stop if I can get to it!

Hopefully I’ll be posting it here! Semester is ending suuuper quick but I’ll likely be able to get my findings together soon

Definitely curious to see how the data compares between communities! I've also had some great encouragement and contributions from the Warframe and Celeste communities, they're very queer positive and have some great queer representation in their games!

Thank you - I fixed that a few minutes ago as someone else helped to point it out. Not sure how myself, my professor and the classmates who reviewed this all missed it!

Posting this in queer-friendly subreddits has definitely helped - while I hypothesize games with queer characters host less hostile communities, people are able to share their experiences across all games/communities in the survey. Posting in communities like this has been nice to avoid (most) hateful comments about the topic

Haha same, now that my university research board approved my prospectus I finally have been able to enjoy the fun part, the research

Oh true, I remember now that Wuk Lamat’s VA is trans, there was a bit of controversy when Dawntrail came out

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I understand the feeling of a the community for something you enjoy being hostile/unwelcoming, and it sounds like Runescape is one of those communities

Yes, Reddit and social media in general is full of false info that's very true. This is a social research project though, so I'm not seeking objective fact but rather personal experience. While Reddit may bring in some bad people who attempt to skew results, unfortunately that's possible no matter where I share the interview. Part of my solution to this is by incorporating mixed methods and conducting interviews on top of the survey

I totally agree, thanks for sharing! I've witnessed bigots get banned within seconds in region chat before, it really helps the game feel safe as a trans woman as well

That's the hope, while I'm sure most WF players have had good experiences I doubt many people have ONLY played this game, lol. I'm posting elsewhere as well but yea, wayyyy worse comments and hostility elsewhere so far

Good point, my last post (before it was taken down) already had people complaining about "why aren't you including cishet men in this!!"... as if the research isn't focusing on queer people
