Q:

Is sexism in gaming a real issue or just exaggerated by the media?

As someone who has spent countless hours on various gaming platforms, I′ve often found myself in situations where my gender seemed to influence how I was treated. For instance, during an intense multiplayer match, I was targeted with derogatory comments the moment I spoke and they realized I′m female. It got so bad that I had to mute everyone just to focus on the game. Is sexism in gaming a real issue or just exaggerated by the media?
