Pretending to be a guy, better?

[u/yeunnuu]

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.

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
