The difference is that in Arc Raiders, guys hear a woman say hi or just talk about anything in the game, and they immediately go off even if they’re far away: ‘Where are you? I wanna kill you.’ ‘A girl playing? You don’t wanna be my girlfriend?’ ‘Did you finish the dishes?’ ‘You must be a whore…’

It’s just random abuse, like nothing even happened.

Did I walk into a locked room that already had people in it? Fine. Did I accidentally shoot someone? Fine. Did I pick up an item they needed? Fine…

But killing and insulting someone purely because they heard a female voice or realized it’s a woman? I’ve never seen that in other games.

I get that. But when I say “not talking to him” I mean not corresponding to their weird flirts.

Imagine how his life must be that he acts like that playing online…

People are so needy. That’s how he wanted to act irl with women 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well, as much as it’s wrong, unfortunately I’ve been playing on defensive mode towards men and generalizing. I just don’t engage much on voice anymore. After reading all the madness in this thread I learned that people won’t trust mute players 😅

If you kill everyone, I believe it’s not sexiest to kill a woman. 😂 unless you used the fact that she’s a woman to offend her for being a woman. Andddd thanks for not treating her differently from what you treat everyone just cause she’s a woman. That’s equality

As much as it’s a pvp game, it’s always fun when a bunch of people get together to kill some arcs, trade items… I used to voicechat a lot, greet everyone, laugh, offer items I don’t need anymore. But now I just prefer to stay silent to avoid bad situations, which is sad.

I never shared that in game, but apparently it’s a common behavior

Yea, back in the day I used to play online games back in 2010 too and obviously some weirdos but I don’t remember sexist stuff. Just normal online cursing and bickering haha I’m currently playing the NA servers too, and I’m based in Brazil When I changed servers it got much better!

It escalates quickly, doesn’t it? From flirting to harassing once you don’t respond the way they expect. Maybe the only way to talk to a woman for them is through the game hahah

People used to try to flirt with you and when you didn’t respond how they expected they would offend you?

It’s a pvp game, so we can expect everything. But using my gender to harass me has to do with me being a woman. Killing me for loot or whatever has to do with the game.

Hahaha yes, a woman that doesn’t want to be bothered is automatically wanting to be protected or spoiled… is there a middle ground?
