Girl Tax?
I know the title may be inflammatory to some, so I'll start by saying I love the destiny community and usually have no issues.
Anytime I raid with a team that's over 50% strangers I always wind up getting kicked. Regardless of my K/d, light, dps or general wipe-causing--blam!-ups I'm always the one kicked.
Am I being paranoid? Or am I being penalized for bing a girl?

1 ReplyAre you a pretty girl? That might help.

1 ReplyDon't worry you'll get a lot of thirsty guys from this post to help you complete the raid.

3 RepliesAccording to your grimoire you have zero Kings Fall completions. So it's probably because you're not very good at raiding. I play with plenty of females and they can all hold their own, just a good as the rest of us.
-
At least you've found raid groups. PS3 is like. No mans land, even LFG and forums no one is on when I play.

Yo i aint one to judge a person by the tone of their voice but i def can tell the difference of fellow guardians when the opposite sex is the raid group. Alot not all will act differently. Not saying male become uncomfortable but rather will filter themselves. Its strange phenomenon to say the least, add me on psn. Aslong you take care of your shit i could careless and wont kick ya.

One of my friends that I play with almost daily is a female. We have played most multiplayer games out there, but with destiny we raid a couple times a week. Never have I met someone that had a problem with her being there or even made a big deal about it. Never. So the only answer I have is that maybe people just don't like you
-
They probably think that you are a squeaker.

Or maybe they think you're a squeaker

Edited by Moxxis Playtoy: 4/29/2016 8:33:01 PMI would kick a random if I have a buddy coming in. It's just supply and demand (base of friend list of course). But it depends how deep we are into the raid.
-
How long do you take doing jump puzzles lol
-
Sadly it may be a possibility. I have played with many girl guardians and with one or two exceptions all was good. I can also say I have played with many guy gamers who where so so much worse....
-
more than 50% of random lfg raid groups suck. Get into a decent clan and you ahould experience way less drama
-
Neither, you probably just genuinely suck.
-
That sounds like an alternate universe where guys boot girls instead of guys wanting girls in the raid. Or maybe your casual Don't be casual
-
Really? Cause these kids are thirsty as fuq.

Is it just me, or does it seem like most raid groups actually [i]don't[/i] kick the girl because they're thirsty as hell? -
Edited by RingersCheckmate: 4/29/2016 7:47:23 PMPoints for addressing the title. And in all honesty I don't know. Usually thirsty guys keep girls in fireteams, but every once in awhile I'll hear guys think that girls have worse gunskill or something like that. The most sexist thing I've seen in destiny was when I was running the kings fall with two girls that were (at the time) just joking around. They were close friends, most everyone in the fireteam knew eachother. The rest of us were just quiet and laughing along but looking for our final person to raid with. The final person we invited was quiet, but was rather controlling. He seemed frustrated for some reason with the two girls. In the middle between wipes he blurted out "Who put two girls together in the same party?" or something along those lines. There was a silence. I cut the silence by just trying to say what we should do to not wipe again, and from then on there was just a disturbing silence. We restarted the encounter, and we ended up wiping again (can't remember why) and that guy decided to blame it on all of us. It was something like "The -blam!- is your guys's problem? Why would -" that's when he got the boot.

Destiny isn't very friendly to girls Because there's no trade system so you can't get free stuff
-
Its prob tht ur unfortunate to get put in with uptight prats lol!! More than happy to help doing a raid or anything add away jonnyfr550
-
The majority of the people who play this game are complete a holes. If your being kicked because of that then that's very pathetic of them. Good luck
-
I'd help. I've joined a few random groups with women in them and there are never any issues. Maybe it's just bad luck? Anyways, I won't be online likely till tomorrow night or Sunday during the day, but feel free to add. I'm going to run all three characters on hard so if you're interested, let me know.
-
Ye..that's Destiny for ya.
-
Maybe they are mistaking you for a squeaker.

4 RepliesI would switch to Xbox. What you are experiencing is typical of the experience of most girls on PSN. I wonder why most PSN players prefer boys?
-
4 RepliesIf you're on PS4, add me, my tag is the same as on here. I'm on pretty frequently, I'd be happy to have you along whenever I Raid or such. Some people are just stupid.
-
Kids not feeling comfortable around ladies. Are you perhaps casually throwing around racial slurs or just being offensive for no reason? That's really the only reason I ever boot someone. Even if they are terrible that's not enough a reason to boot. I'd try to help them learn and get better as long as they are willing to receive the help and advice. Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
