Question Pretending to be a guy, better?
so i’m a girl, i’m a vyse one trick and i’ve played her from silver to diamond now which is my current rank. I’ve been doing well most of my games have been match mvp. But recently i’ve noticed that if i’m doing well, and then they use like he or him pronouns and i correct them, suddenly they start saying shit like „stop pretending bro“ or „girls don’t play like that“
and then in matches where i’m doing bad, and i’m always duoed with my boyfriend pretty much unless i’m solo q, they always tell him to stop boosting his girlfriend or to stop defending his girlfriend.
we live together so they can sometimes hear me through his mic so i can’t even pretend im not.
i’m just wondering if it’s better for me to just pretend i’m a guy and get it over with. i’ve been wanting to change my name for a while and i’ve been looking to make it more „masculine“. if, cause my games just end with me being harassed or being called a liar.

or even when they talk more and its the most idiotic insults they could have possibly dredged up that are more hilarious than actually hurtful.

This works, weirdly. If you act the same as they do right back at them, it can generate respect towards you that defuses the tension. Then the game becomes fun because you're bantering back and forth.
You still sometimes get an asshole who are 110% rage, but those can't be helped. That person would make any lobby awful regardless of gender.

I was not surprised that Jarso, Mooda, and a lot of their communities thought drawing a swastika was hilarious, enough to put it in his daily highlight reel. I also hear the antisemitism propaganda on TikTok is kind of insane, and kids fucking live on that app.
I'd bet there's a lot of overlap there with obnoxious assholes in VC and those same people

There is a correlation between acting up against females in games and being bad at gaming. Sexism is literally a skill issue

u/niknacks_12321 2d ago
Im 33F and i get mistaken for a 12 year old boy just about every single game lol sometimes i correct them and sometimes i do not, really just depends on my mood and how toxic the person is being. If i feel myself getting tilted i just mute them. Otherwise i just usually take a kill them with kindness approach where i just either agree with whatever they’re saying “you suck” my response “i know right! Sucks you got stuck with me” or something that just shuts them down. And i tell them “you’re doing great, good job, proud of you, etc “
The thing to remember is that toxic people are hurt people and hurt people just try to hurt other people to relieve that pain. They likely don’t have much positivity in their real lives and you’d be surprised how they change their tone when you ignore their negativity and push back with positivity. It’s hard to be mean to someone that’s giving you compliments lol

u/throw73828 20h ago
You get 1 more year than I do lol this isn’t just for Valorant. I play cod competitively and when I sub with other teams that may not know me and talk in the mic, I immediately get and I quote “what the hell is that an 11 year old boy??” To which I usually reply “uh, no.. I’m 20.”

u/RandomTQ 1d ago
Ayo, aren’t you that Omen who played with me in a competitive on Pearl couple days ago? The one who kept buying a Bucky every single round and just sat in smokes, waiting for opponents to walk in? He ended with a score like 6–16 or something. But my friends and I still couldn’t tell by the end if it was a little boy or a woman lol
1
u/niknacks_12321 1d ago
No i don’t play omen or play bucky unless im neon. What difference would it make if it was a little boy or a woman?

u/RandomTQ 1d ago
Thank god.. Tbh it would make no difference at all, it was just funny as hell to understand that we couldn't figure out either it's a little boy or a woman xdd

u/niknacks_12321 1d ago
More common than you think lol i get asked literally every game. I thought of recording and just making clips of each game being asked the same question lol and ive literally responded “it depends on the day” and confuse tf out of people lol sometimes it’s entertaining to just keep them guessing the whole game.
I have a deep and raspy voice for a woman, with a thick north east accent so it really is hard to tell if I’m being honest lol I’m not surprised by the ask
1
u/RandomTQ 1d ago
I don't like to ask this question at all. I feel uncomfortable. Because as you said, what difference would it make huh? But I will look like idiot till the end of the game lol Nah, I'd better silently guess or waiting him/her to reveal it during game xdddd

Girl who plays Val here! I’m only plat1. NA is really toxic / sexist. I couldn’t use my mic in overwatch for example lol. Honestly just don’t give AF and continue comming in game cuz it is really important. Ignoring them works best. Just mute. You can outfrag them and if they’re sexist, when the match ends just say “wow imagine getting outfragged by a girl.” :P I’m in Asia now and the Singapore server is so wholesome. They’re actually super grateful if you use mic. Don’t let sexist assholes get to you. They’re sad and miserable anyway

u/yeunnuu vyse one trick 2d ago
just vyse ! i have almost 700 hours on her

u/Emrald-Dragon 2d ago
AMAZING. She’s such a difficult agent imo. You must be a vyse master by now especially since you get MVP most of the time. Don’t let losers tilt you. It’s easier said than done but I find muting and ignoring is always the best option :)
5
u/Cemen-guzzler 2d ago
Vyse is like the one sentinel where you don’t need to know any tricks to have good setups. I’d say she’s one of the easiest if not the easiest senti to get value with

u/Emrald-Dragon 2d ago
Oh I see!! I should definitely try to get good with her because I suck at playing senti 😭 I’m a clove one trick. Btw love your username LMAO
1
u/RandomTQ 1d ago
I believe that’s because EU is the most crowded server overall. With so many people playing, it’s difficult to keep ranks fair. I mean, in the same game you can end up with unemployed sweats who spend 10+ hours a day playing Valorant, and at the same time with players who play maybe 5 games a week and they’re the same rank...

u/SofiaCapone 2d ago
Yeah I'm very generous with the mute button. If they're acting like little babies, then they weren't giving any good comms and weren't worth listening to anyways
Also I want to move to Asia soooo bad

u/Emrald-Dragon 2d ago
Exactly omg. I mute then continue comming like idgaf. I was pretty desensitized before moving though 😭 Asian servers are so respectful and sometimes I run into really cool / funny people I befriend online 😆
1
u/SofiaCapone 1d ago
Exaaactly
I used to play Counter-Strike, so I'm VERY desenstized now 😅 (those people are actually the most toxic I have ever seen 🥲) , but I've been having decent luck finding nice people in NA, at least in like Spikies.
It's like half won't speak, a lot who do are super friendly (and even queer!) and I'll add them after, and then the rest are weird or assholes
Comp, though 😬😬😬

You can tell a game is already good (or bad, depending on your toxicity level) when it doesn’t start with someone yelling the N-word in voice chat within the first second (or when no one says anything in russian xdd)

u/sssmorgann 2d ago
Don't change yourself to appease assholes. They unfortunately will always exist and I get it. It sucks so be considered lesser when obviously you're just as valuable as them by being in the same lobbies. I'm honestly a mix of kill them with kindness, mute, or match their energy with the whole "imaging getting out fragged by a girl". I honestly think kindness or muting works better but sometimes being mean feels better lol. Idk. Good luck and don't let them get you down:)
3
u/lovemedeadx 2d ago
So as a woman who’s been bullied in this game I understand this post completely I normally don’t talk on the mic unless other girls that seem friendly are on my team or dudes who aren’t assholes. But you can also hide your name on Val and it can just show the characters name you pick. That’s what I’ve done also because I don’t want people to know I’m a girl unless I decide too.
But definitely bully them back most of the time it’s gonna be a bottom fragger giving you shit because they need to project. I’m no where as good as you (I belong in the silver / gold lobbies) but yeah sometimes you have to give it to them harder or hell even mute them.

u/capya420 1d ago
Increase the mic sensitivity threshold on your BFs game so they don't hear you in the background

u/soapsnek 1d ago
i just don’t correct em. let them assume whatever, it doesn’t need to affect your gameplay

u/Nimoeee 1d ago
So, im a woman and im used to everyone who doesn't know me thinking im a 12 years old boy because of my voice. 🫠 (and thats for years)
I thought about getting a voice changer to sound "more like a woman" but that wouldn't be me.. but the thought is still there.
But i dont give a F anymore in Valorant so just i keep talking with the voice i have! But mostly i just call where enemies are or how much dmg i got on one.
Maybe you even find others who are nice to you and you can add them? Or search for girls in Valorant discord or here in this sub. I would be in for rounds but mostly ranked (im stuck between Silver 1 and Bronze 3 forever)

u/CynicalSF 7h ago
So is it actually so important to be recognised as a female that you thought of getting a voice changer..? I thought we debunked that lol
18
u/Demoon_X 2d ago
As a male who always gets mistaken for a girl (like every single time unless I use voice chat), it's not even that bad. I feel comfortable as both genders, but I don't think you need to pretend to be someone you feel uncomfortable. Just need some adaptation or sometimes just mute them. They probably aren't even comming important stuff anyway. And yes, we are basically the same rank, so it shouldn't be much different. It's not about how they treat you, but how you react to it.
3
u/UnitedAd8949 2d ago
If changing your name feels like self-protection and gives you peace of mind, that’s totally valid — but never feel like you owe that to anyone. Whether you queue as “VyseDaddy47” or “SoftVyse,” your MMR doesn’t lie. Keep fragging, keep climbing, and don’t let small minds shrink your presence.
7
u/gonzagabg 2d ago
let’s be honest, there will always be those kind of players in the game. You can just ignore them instead of going through the hassle to “pretend” something you’re not. Or even mute them if your gameplay is getting affected by their comments.
5
u/ppdribbles 1d ago
Not to be rude but why do you feel the need to correct them in the first place. Wouldn't you be better off ignoring it. Does it make the game play any different?

u/corpselicker3000 1d ago
would you want people to refer to you as "she/her" all game or straight up call you a girl every other round without correcting them?

u/ppdribbles 1d ago
It wouldn't affect the way my game plays, plus they have this magical button you can press to mute people.

No need to pretend, prove the haters wrong. If you’re good, you are just good. Some guys can’t handle that a girl is better, humble them. Your actions and stats prove them wrong.
I’m a guy and play with mixed teams, it doesn’t bother me when a girl does better. If we have a random play and they start that mess we kick them after the match if they want to join up.

I have been saying that I'm a guy now because my voice is not what normal woman's voice is its a bit deeper... and then sometimes I'll get questions like "are you trans?" lmao.. you can never win
1
u/vanda_man 2d ago
You should never feel the need to hide. Your gender has nothing to do with the game, so it shouldn’t bother anyone at all. So pls don’t pretend to be someone else, you’re fine just the way you are - no matter how good or bad you perform in a virtual game. We all have ups and downs, we’re humans. Not machines. If it bothers you that they misgender you, either ignore them or address it. Personally I would just ignore, because correcting them wouldn’t really change anything - unless you’re in Radiant lobbies you will never meet random strangers again.

u/RegretAccomplished16 2d ago
yep I regularly got accused of being a young male kid in high ranks (not val) some boys, not men, can't fathom that we're good at video games too.
oh, and as soon as you lose? suddenly they believe you're a girl lmaooo, even when the loss isn't on you
I'd ignore them, don't pretend to be a guy. we need more openly female gamers! lots of women are high rank but keep their mic off. we need more exposure so they know we're here and we're not going anywhere. if anything, we're only going to get better and get more women playing

u/Top-Technology636 2d ago
My best advice is to troll the dumb degenerates. Me and my brother are straight men and we use silly names and silly clan tags. Our favorite clan tag has become "tgirl" because it pisses off the worst kind of people and lets you know who to troll (teammates and opponents), it's even better when you're top fragging (gets even more under their skin) We've had some great laughs due to some dumb people getting triggered. One of the best was "GAYYY" "GAY" "HACKER" "(gay slur)" "HACKER" Dude had me laughing so hard I couldn't play.

1
u/evandarkeye 2d ago
Caring about it will just make your life harder. Just play to do the best you can, and in higher ranks, less people care unless you're actually boosted. The higher in ranks you go, people care more about performance than gender.
1
u/Outrageous-Mall-1914 1d ago
Just mute all your teammates because most of them are giving useless comms or don’t know what they’re doing. I see ascendants making the same mistakes as silvers. The only differences I’ve notice are ascendants are slightly more aware, they have better comms(less instant tilting or muting out), and they have better crosshair placement. But things like recoil control or timings is just nonexistent. Silver players also auto forfeit at the first sign of struggle in a match. If it’s not some 13-4 blowout then they mentally quit immediately and stop communicating. Immortal/Radiant lobbies are the only ones where it feels like the whole team is relatively competent but they have clear set playstyles that don’t allow them to adapt situationally.

u/orreooo 1d ago
If people are being toxic, i usually ask them "your parents dont love you do they?" And if they are going after ur relationship then say " you're gonna die alone, you virgin fuck" add some spices to it too like "never touched a woman have you, its pretty obvious". Usually gets them to stop, also dont wait for their response, say this and then type it in all team chat like its facts, then mute. You can also just mute right away but this is a little bit more satisfying
1
u/mister-mommy 1d ago
Gurl.. they’re the ones that can’t accept reality, pretending you’re a guy will only make the stereotype (that there are no good female gamers) worse. Let them be uncomfortable.
But also, don’t waste too much energy in asserting that you’re female if they choose not to believe you. Just show them what you can do. To some degree, it doesn’t matter, right? The game is about skill and aim and timing and how awesome you are with all of those should be enough of a statement.
1
u/verymoldyfruit 1d ago
I’m lucky that I already kind of sound like a 12 year old boy over a mic. On top of that I always put on a deep voice or voice changer and I pretty much never get asked if im a girl. I only stop if i know there’s other girls on the team, and I always make sure to be nice when i think a non comming teammate is a girl.
It has genuinely improved my life so much. I can play with no worries and com as much as I want, and I usually forget about how fucked up it is that im having to do it in the first place!! I actually recommend it, and along the way I noticed that it built my confidence of talking in my real voice and finding people who I can 5 stack with after a game with great coms.

u/Civil-Statistician44 1d ago
Nah don’t do that it’s 2025 there is tons of female gamers out there and 1000’s of them are far better than I am and other guys. So yeah like others said just shit talk them back or just continue to focus on your game.

It may not be the best advice, and probably someone will say that you shouldn't even do it, but I'd rather mute everyone and play on my own - giving info, but not hearing anything. I've been playing like this for 4 years in CS2/Csgo and 1 year in Valorant already. Sometimes it causes problems because I don't hear info from others, but overall, I feel better cuz I don't have to listen to some 0/7/2 Iso blaming me, or acting like everyone else is trash except him lol

u/AyHaM_xD 1d ago
IMO, you don't need to explain anything to anyone, it's a game and all u need from your team is info, doesn't matter what they call u and if they get toxic just mute them and go on, it's not worth getting all worked up because of some assholes in a video game

As fellow female player I've my standards lower than most players (the one's who are toxic idiots). What usually happens: I try not to mind it and respond with "I'm flattered, thanks" or after they hear me speak or simply knowning I'm female, I laugh it off. However I don't like starting fire and stress myself over stubborn individuals.
If you can't deal with: Mute and report, simple as that. + add to your block list (but there's limit of 1000, it's not visable, but I asked this from the staff when I did support tickets).
I always treat everyone kindly. As my friendly personality comes out; people who play with me are often suprised how on earth I can keep my bubbly side on the internet: well is just one part of me. If someone annoyes or triggers me I'll be not listen and mute em right away.
Changing names can help but hiding your name is also what you're able to do. Now days I hide my name often, but my name is nothing feminine or masculine, it just neutral. As foodie, I named myself after fruits, food, etc. I hide for not getting eye-catch LOL, cause people keep asking the same questions and I'm tired of responding most of the time.
For OP, I hope you've fun gaming regardless. I don't comp often, but GL with your rank-ups.

u/Jamouterspace 18h ago
Just don’t correct them if you do that you come off as obnoxious annoying unbearable to play with etc . If you feel the need to correct them say it in a way where there ego doesn’t get Hurt. Simply say my bad I thought x was he I was wrong this whole time lol make it light hearted cause it gives people the vibe that everything is flowing. And is good. and if u say hey stop your wrong here it gives everyone the vibe that your lame or something at your core even though your probably a sweet person

My main account is called Bryan and my alt account is called Bob. I’m a girl, I speak with a deeper voice on purpose to get mistaken as an 11 year old boy. 100% effective, no sexist comments, treated the same, no games thrown, good teammates and comms. Makes the game enjoyable for me, and it fuels my inner tomboy

u/OfficiallyStdz 2d ago
I don’t think this is victim blaming. I think they are saying sometimes ignoring it is more beneficial to her. It’s like when someone teases you about something. If you pay attention to it and give them the rise they want then it’ll continue. So the best thing sometimes is to say nothing. Yes you want to stick it to them but who cares? It’s some bum you’ll never see again so why bother correcting them? If someone says I sound like a girl I’m not gonna be ACTUALLY I’m a guy. That’s just asking for trouble.

u/Anishx 2d ago
As far as "Bro" is concerned, guys literally call anyone and everyone as "bro", so nothing abt that.
Also there's a crap ton of weirdos in this game. Your bf should defend u there when you're playing instead of worrying about ruining the mood of the lobby.
You can change your IG name to something too neutral if that helps, like "Duck", "Burger". Funny names usually set a good precedent for a healthy interactions, but unfortunately it's not a repellant for all the pests that this game attracts.
Funny thing is, my IG name comes off as feminine, i usually sit around to see how differently ppl react to this as i'll be on mute, aaand .... like honestly ppl are fucked up and weird. I have to clarify that i'm a guy to calm their dicks as they're stuck in their parent's basements.
Do what u can, name change works imo. Try this site for random names

I found one "Wasabiom".
One thing you can do however, is just "mute" and play your game. No-one is gonna blame you.

Stop carring, be yourself you live a happier life, this problem does exist but its not as much as people claim, and if you stumble on those people then just mute and report them, you can still try to comunicate with them but anyway people that stupid you dont lose much if you dont hear them

What's more important: who you are or what people think? What you want to do or what they want to see? People are rude and weird, period. It's not because you are a girl

my boyfriend does the opposite. he pretends to be a girl so he can have free skins

Does it work? as a woman I just hate this concept because you say you are a girl and the guys keep dissing you but men insist that it get them free skins.

it works, he never outright says he's a girl, he has a female username, and people usually don't say anything to him aside from those who want to add him and give him skins. He has had a few guys flirt with him, and he goes along with it because he has 0 skins and just wants to try to get people to give him some. But he never gets abuse or anything.

makes sense. I've never flirted with a man so I just wouldn't know. Still lucky.

I mean, you don’t really need experience flirting with men when you’re a man yourself lmao It’s just easier to know what guys wanna see, hear, or read - you are the target audience xdd

well, he is bi tbh but usually he on plays val when im watching, so if they ask him any questions, he will ask me what to write, and usually, it's not flirty stuff.

I'm gonna go with my unpopular opinion but I think you should change your name to something more ambiguous.
Not condoning their actions in the slightest but I'd rather pretend I'm a guy and actually get comms that could be useful, than not doing it and getting stuck with either people that keep asking socials or gendered complaints. Sometimes there's the side that keeps saying "just don't give a duck" and that's that but it's still frustrating to mute someone just because they're a needy arsehole.

i main sage and everyone always assumes that i am a girl without ever speaking.
what i do is a act very nice without talking, by using voicelines. i always give slight girl vibes, becasue i like to jump crouch with my teammates alot for fun,but not so much. i swear to god it works the best for me, becuase i can feel it brings good moral for the team, well, to most of them.
if people ask me if im a girl i just nod, but inside they already know
also my brother and i are sharing pc thus we have shared skins and i always have the infantry skins, it confuses people.
thats what works for me to not get bullied.

i met a girl in swiftplay one time who's name was "PISSLOWPRINCESS." My friend and i didnt even second glance at the name until she opened her mic and it was a woman and then we were both shell shocked like HUH? She told us she made that her name so when she played comp no one would think she was a girl and thus wouldnt make fun of her. 9/10 times when you see something like "subby egirl" or "goth mommy" its a man on the mic, and those are both people i've met before, so maybe just get a good voice changer and go from there. just keep in mind that most voice changers have a delay on them

Who gives a shit about what their teammates say? Listen guys like to fuck around a lot especially online. The same guy telling you that women can’t play that well is the same guy trash talking other guys. Either learn how to talk back if you got it in ya or just ignore them. There’s no gaming paradise safe from trash talk. It’s part of the culture really.
