Kickstarter Project vs Gamers, or: Why don't you think about the MEN?!
Tropes vs Women in Video Games is a project by a single woman to look at and analyze several tropes and stereotypes in gaming that concerns female characters. Sounds like a reasonable project, right?

Apparently, the internet doesn't seem to agree.

This goes as well as you think.

Major trigger warnings for each link. Don't wade through comments, as usual.

I find it depends on the MMO and the people you're grouping with. Something like Call of Duty will get you a lot more dudebros then the Star Wars MMO but even there you've got the occasional arsehole.

I've been _very_ lucky as a gamer not to run into a lot of harassment but I also don't play a lot of FPS games. ME3 Multiplayers is probably the only one I regularly play. I'd like to play more but the misogynistic bullshit does put me off. :(
