Females in Valorant

#1

Shownu

Coming from LoL then CS and now to Val, the game feels so much more inclusive and fun during comms. Rather hear calls from females than angry Russian men with Cyka Blyat spams and the classic 'DROP AVP MEN!'

I have made a post similar before but I think the large volume of females in the game will really make the game more promptable to a wider demographic. Skins are major part of why Valorant is so popular alongside the simplicity of the game offering a combination of cool abilities and gun variety.

TLDR: Calm comms > Cyka Blyat

In the future, refer to "females" as women. Females is kinda disconnected and incel sounding.

It just reduces people to their genitalia. Its also a matter of objectification.

Female is a label of sex (sex's only identification is what type of genetalia), while woman is a gender identity.

Just curious, what if it's singular? ur gonna say a eg. woman streamer? doesn't seem right tho.
I think it only works on plural and it depends on the situation if singular. If u get what i mean

How often do you say that phrase? The post isn't even about streamers and I don't think the issue with your phrase is with "woman" but instead the way you structured the sentence. Instead of "woman streamer" just say "__ is a woman that streams valorant" like its just sentence syntax

that's why i said in the first place "just curious". Also there's some phrases like "Female artist of the year". That's why i also said it's situational.

But I still don't understand how you can figure out other information just from comms?

I mean "female" voices are different from "male" voice. That "female" could as well be a lesbian. Saying women just by hearing their sound would just be assuming their sexuality don't you think?

In general maybe your argument is true, however in this very case, female does not seem problematic, in fact it seems more apt.

can be considered dehumanising because female refers to sex and genitalia and is usually used in reference to animals whilst woman is simply just the gender of a person

You're a shitty knock off of the real valorant_fanboy_69. He was never an incel.

Women is pretty discriminatory because you often refer to women as older women but Valorant has all ages of girls to women involved so the appropriate term to use would be females to include all ages of women. Also stop reaching.

I agree it sounds weird, but it doesn't make him sound like an incel lmao. I feel like people don't use that word right half the time anymore.

You obviously dont. Many and many girls in CS who atleast were high level were pretty fucking toxic, most of them cheated/cheats, were racist and worse, and pro women there were toxic and annoying af and anyone who was better than them they would report or just shittalk, basically the same is for valorant but its been some time ive seen one girl like that

But your main point is that skilled players at the upper level of comp play are toxic and my response to that is obviously. Not saying every female is a perfect fairy. I just said soloq and casual play is much better with females than inbreds sexing the microphone every round and therefore the growing player base of females is a positive thing for the longterm health of valorant.

That also makes for men in lower levels? Tf is your point lmao im sure if you play ranked in iron there will be alot fun people to play, obviously sometimes there will be someone toxic but thats the same for girls, Ur just being completely sexist bruh

Ranked in lower ranks is straight up an ear rape. Also saying woman are better to play with than soloq manchild is not sexist. Learn what sexism is before you spout nonsense.

they should feel comfortable but its not like they NEED to be playing the game, i find this obsession to getting them to play the game really fucking weird

i always thought the better solution is just to tackle toxicity

It does reducs toxicity if women are on the team. Ive observed that trolls are more careful what they say when a women is in the team because they don't want to look like a weirdo.

That's common sense I do the same however just like duo in comp reduces 1 extra bad player on your team. Having a female tends to reduce 1 extra manchild from the team.
