Hi!

I've been trying to get back into gaming recently and decided to give Valorant a try. It seems fun and I'd like to play more. I do have worries though, especially because this is a game where I have understood you need to talk a lot to teammates. This hadn't been a problem if not for the detail that I am a girl.

I'm not a huge gamer, I just like video games. This is not ideal because the amount of harassment you get as a girl increases the less experienced/good you are at gaming. I'm not going to get into it a lot but the bottom line is that playing online video games when you're a girl gets you a ton of harassment and I don't want to be harassed.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I would love to get some insight into the community. Is it very toxic? Have you encountered cases where girls get cursed out in voice chat? And if you're a girl please share your experience! I want to know if it's worth it at all to get into the game.
