I'm a old guy (30+) and in some games when I comm, I will get insulted for being old. My teammates will call me old, fat, you name it. This must be similar to how girls are afraid to comm in their games.
However, when someone is being sexist to a girl, there will be many occasions where guys will defend her and then everyone is against the sexist.
The worst part for me is that no one will stick up for me when I'm being berated or insulted just because I'm old or because they think I'm fat. At least girls will have some guys that defend them, but for me, I have to fight my own battle. The community is so hypocritical. It's a no-no to be sexist, but it's apparently perfectly okay to call someone old, obese, autistic, or what have you.
It's tough being a old gamer 😹
PS this is why I loved the CSGO community. Everyone was just more mature.
