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?

  • All I Know is my team doesn't discriminate but your going to here lot random stuff being talk about in the chat hardly any barriers. But we have played with girls before it's never been a problem.

  • Been in the same situation as you. Now I tend to just team up with my twitter followers as they can see who I am, know I'm a good person and a decent player.

    • I play with 3 females and the 3 of them are some of the best raiders I've played with. Sorry you're experiencing that. Some people just suck.

    • Most young men who hide within the Internet feel alienated to a certain degree by women in reality. Using their logic, it would only be fair to alienate women through virtual reality.

    • Well, women are quite taxing. ...! *rimshot* Ahem. I'll go now. Anyway... It's usually the other way around. These sweaty teenagers think they're going to get laid over the internet by having a girl on their team.

      • If there is a girl in our party and she randomly sighs for attention, she is getting kicked

              Edit: I am speaking about how online translates to real life, and not saying this is causation for her getting kicked, but merely a correlation between what she thinks is happening and why she has reason to POSSIBLY think that. There is a real issue in gaming and the computer science field right now for women. They are under represented and are harassed and verbally assaulted constantly. I'm sure someone has already called you an attention whore on this thread for simply saying you are female. I do not think you are being kicked because you are a girl in this case, confounding variables are at play I think. However it does at least bring the issue up. I've seen some brutally cruel things being said towards women on xbox live and on the forums. Side note- I bet that if you put the guys who say these thing or act this way online physically in front of the woman, they would: A. Not be able to say it to your face and B. Probably not even talk to you because girls are intimidating to them and they have no idea how to handle themselves. Hopefully it's not because of these things, but it really pisses me off. Guys either cream themselves because they found a girl gamer and just want to get in their pants, or they immediately jump to harassment. I hope this doesn't keep happening (by that I mean the way some gamers use the Internet to speak to women), and from the guys who aren't scum, we apologize for their behavior. Add me, I'm always down to play regardless of who it is as long as you aren't just super bad. [spoiler]I'm not good so that's easy lol[/spoiler]

              • Ever since gamer gate, Anita sarcessian, and booby streamers became a thing, we can hardly take women seriously in gaming anymore, we understand it's not all women, but i know the difference and only insult those who deserve it, you seem totally finally and the guys who kicked you are probably just stupid

                • I am sure it is not because you are a girl. Raid teams lately have unreasonably high requirements, likely what happens is they don't like your character, or your stats, or both.

                  Could be. For me, when it comes to gaming, I couldn't care less what gender you are. I've kicked girls before, I've beat raids with and added girls before. If you can play, you can play.

                  • I've never been kicked but I do think it's a bit harder for us girls. There have been guys I've played with that expect me to be really bad / not know what I'm doing. It kind of sucked when i first started to raid because I genuinely wanted to learn (so I just watched tons of tutorials and twitch streams until I got it) I think it's less you being a girl more people not wanting to spend 6 hours in a raid because some people can't get the mechanics.

                  • My guess is they think you're a kid cause your voice is higher. There's definitely a hatred of kids in this community. Or at least kids that can't act mature and shut up for two seconds. -blam!- those groups though. I play with a teenage girl all the time and she kicks the crap out of the guys all the time.

                  • Or you could just suck and have no experience. Gender, age, race aren't always the reason.

                      • i've never raided but i have gotten "um...are you a girl or a boy?" once from a 14 yr old kid that afterwards made a weird mexican joke and kicked me out. i joined an all girl clan thats realllyyy active and there's always raids happening. i joined recently and they're very nice. if you join make sure to find their band app link because that's where all the planned raid/crucible/etc stuff happens. regardless if you join or not, i hope you find some awesome, nice people to play with! https://www.bungie.net/nl/Clan/Forum/584799

                        Most girls are great players so I bet it something else. There is a kid tax and ghetto tax for sure. You sound like a 12 year old or got rap music blasting in the background ? Edit: and then there's the iPhone tax. You know, when you're too cheap to get real headphone and your mic beams out a god awful sound because you are using iPhone earbuds.

                        • Do you team up with them? I've asked for help to do raids but at the end they wound up leaving. And I'm a girl lol I have no problem getting help from guys. It's girls I do t like. I find the to be snobby little bitches and they think they can be all God when it comes to playing. Same as for most of the guys I've teamed up with, but other than that, I've had really nice people help me. It's just a thing, I guess. Pay no mind

                          • They always ended up booting me because they think I'm a squeaker and my brothers are always like that's my sister. But I end up booted anyways.
