The truth is, the only reason a female would ever play a videogame is because she can't get real life friends.

Gaming is mostly males so when a female enter in the MALE GENDERED SPACE she isn't welcomed.

It doesn't help that the only famous females are the big booba streamers that don't know how to play games so the males see the concept of a "gamer girl" as nothing more than a fetish. Was it the patriarchy fault or did the women do this themselves?

The toxicity is only the final straw, not the cause.
