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?

  • My observations tell me it's yes because you're a girl, but it's also based on a cultural difference. To begin with, being kicked based on gender is still very rare and If you find this far from the case being female, I would advise you rethink your general raiding/teamplay strategy and not confuse gender-booting for being a general sub-average player. That said, I have participated in countless International LFG and on my part have witnessed groups kicking or berating girls based on gender have only been confined to U.S. groups. I’ve been evenly spread amongst British, French, German, Mexican, but mostly Australian/NZ fireteams and none I have seen kicked or abused the females in their groups on wipe situations. However, I’ve seen it happen about 5 or 6 times in U.S. groups and 1 case was completely disgusting that I lodged a thorough report into. Not trying to single out a specific gaming culture, just going by my personal law of averages.
