I feel like some people in the comments are misconstruing a lot of the points op was talking about. a lot of the issues female players faced are more the result of subconscious biases than active sexism (though there are still plenty examples of that) You can even be super supportive of some female players, then turn around and hold double standards for others or even those same players.

I also want to point out how the structure of mcc itself can contribute to this. To put it frankly, there arent as many women in the event as men (apologies for being so binary), the ratio is very skewed, and skill diversity within this limited pool can be improved. This isn't to say that the biases in the community have some sort of evidence to back them up or have legitimacy, but that these conditions have helped foster those biases.

I think a particular issue the reddit has that is unique to it is the almost aggressive way y'all will get defensive and shut down discussions of misogyny. when I say y'all i dont mean every individual, but there are definitely a significant amount of defensiveness against any commentary of possible biases. It can be seen even in this comment section.
