There's also an incredibly mysoginistic culture in many competitive games. Good luck using a mic as a woman playing CS, for example.

Completely agree though, more women in leadership and even just dev is a good thing, but for the most part people don't really care who made a product, only how much they like it.

I don't really play many games like CS, BF, COD because 1st person perspective shooters give me motion sickness/vertigo. I spent nearly a decade playing wow, and leading raids over vent. In those instances where men have been assholes, I had the ability to just kick assholes from my raid. I have been playing arc raiders, and at the start it was a mixed bag. Turning off cross play so I'm only in matches with other PC players made it much better. 95% of the interactions I've had with men after eliminating console players have been nice and respectful.
