A Tumblr post discussing a snippet of a study about misogyny in video game culture and interactions: A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male
players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards
teammates with a female voice, but behaved
more submissively to players with a male voice.
Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand,
behaved more positively towards female
players. The authors argued the male hostility
towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary
psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption
of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour
from poor performing males who stand to lose
the most status". 
Still the best gaming fact.

Someone on Tumblr replies: “Noted: misogyny is a skill issue”

Same thing kinda happened to TF2. I mean, Competitive is dead but the server browser and community servers are not what they used to be. I miss when it was front and center. Today most people just play casual on Valve servers.

After a quick search it seems like the CS2 in-game server browser has gone to complete shit. I hope Valve fixes it. It's part of the Source Legacy.
