As a DOTA player, the handful of times I've seen/heard a girl speak in a match they have instantly gotten some measure of flame, or their gender is totally ignored because we are here to play. This is a fairly toxic game so honestly even if myself or my friends speak we have been flamed before so I kind of take this whole thing with a grain of salt myself.
One thing I do know though, is that every single game listed has a mute people option. You can keep playing and mute people, you can even keep speaking if you want to convey game/match/fight-relevant information to the shitty people on your team, if you really want to win.
TL:DR- women complaining because they get harassed by male feminists in voice chat, blames “straight, white men” for “toxic gaming culture”.
Is this the same trash talk you hear when guys play Madden or FIFA? I feel like the ladies crying about this have extremely thin skin

Gotcha. I have felt for a while now that the complaining was way overblown
