Inspired by a discussion I had elsewhere and the article "Women in Games swaps male and female voices to highlight harassment in gaming", how about we start a voice modulation challenge where you have to play at least one online game with a voice modulator to sound like a girl?

I'm curious what the experiences would be like.

Not a voice mod, but my voice passes as fem now, so I started talking in VC.

Started playing phasmophobia and it's a lot of fun, but sometimes you get one or two dudes that start making "funny" mysogynistic comments and it's pretty annoying cause it's the Same. Thing. Every. Time.

"Oooh it's in the kitchen, must be a woman ghost!" Looks at me to gauge my reaction.

Joins room I say hi "A FEMALE??? I'm not playing with a female" disconnects

And more. Spawntaneous is a youtuber that has a series of videos about being a "girl gamer" and it's very eye opening. You don't get that kind of people every match, but you do get them every couple hours you play, and even if you somehow find it funny the first time, it gets old really quick.

If they do just disconnect thats kinda a win, but still rude none the less :/
