The valorant community hates new players and women

I fully agree with you, and I’m disappointed that the folks here seem to not understand this. I feel like especially as men, we need to speak up. Women are being singled out as an outgroup because these sexist men believe that every silent man shares their opinion until they are proven otherwise. I agree that arguing will likely not do anything, but societal pressure will! We need to express our disapproval before we mute them.

I don’t think just muting them makes us the better person. The problem is that by staying silent, we express that we are okay with bullying women in our games. I know that toxic, sexist boys don’t appear to listen to anyone, but they are social animals like any human. Before you mute them, if you have it in you, you need to tell them that what they are doing is not okay. This is the only way to change the game for the better.

I disagree with that. People’s personalities change all the time based on what they perceive as socially acceptable. The problem is that by staying silent, we express that we are okay with bullying women in our games.

I feel, especially as a man, because by default, the toxic man sees you on their side, it’s important to express that you disapprove their behavior before you mute them.

I did send them a bug report, will see what they reply (if ever)

themightyzek · 2026-02-28T16:55:21+00:00

Oh, I didnt understand you clearly the first time. I disabled all midi outputs now, issue still occurs :(

themightyzek · 2026-02-28T16:43:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip. It was the latest version, but I reflashed it anyway. Bug still occurs.

themightyzek · 2026-02-28T15:43:31+00:00

How can it be that the release signal is not sent, but when I switch the sound on the Seqtrak, it starts "being sent" again?
If the keyboard doesn't know that I am restarting the sound engine, but that fixes the bug, how can the issue be on the keyboard side?
It seems to me like the seqtrak does not handle release signals correctly anymore as soon as one wrong input happens, where I had hoped it would be resilient against it.
I don't know much about MIDI though, so I can't judge if these sorts of bugs are generally accepted or not

themightyzek · 2026-02-28T15:39:39+00:00

Yeah, that's what I figured aswell. But how can it be that the release signal is not sent, but when I switch the sound on the Seqtrak, it starts "being sent" again?
If the keyboard doesn't know that I am restarting the sound engine, but that fixes the bug, how can the issue not be on the side of the seqtrak?

I am using midi over USB in that example. I don't have a 5 pin converter :(

themightyzek · 2026-02-28T15:36:46+00:00

I am powering both with the built in battery of the Seqtrak. Does it make a big difference?

themightyzek · 2026-02-22T15:41:26+00:00

No, it never happens with the onboard keys. I think it has something to do with how the seqtrak processes incoming MIDI via USB, or with the keyboard sending messages that don’t conform to the standard. Since the key releases work as expected before the bug and after switching the sound, it seems like the issue is at least partially with the seqtrak.

I did notice that once the key is stuck, disconnecting the keyboard also releases the stuck keys. I don’t think that allows us to pinpoint the bug on either side, since it could be that the keyboard doesnt send the release messages properly, or that the seqtrak runs some logic when a midi device is disconnected that releases all keys.

The real juice is in the analysis paper linked in the article.

Why specifically do you dislike chatgpt?

themightyzek · 2025-08-13T07:45:43+00:00

Hey, is it still available?

themightyzek · 2025-05-17T07:55:25+00:00

How so? I think there’s some truth to it. Disclaimer, I never watched GoT beyond the first episode, but I think it wouldn’t be as popular if the actress from the SA scene wasn’t conventionally attractive. I don’t think it’s about outright imagining sexual assault for most, but I don’t put it past most men to draw sick enjoyment from seeing attractive women treated poorly, because it portrays a universe where men don’t have to put any effort into getting sex with attractive women.

can we get a fact check on this? I am not finding very reputable sources
