Go screw yourself, frankly. I love Mercy and I love healing but GUESS WHAT? Most of the time I get stuck healing because either A) no one else will or B) some poor stupid soul did actually go healer and I’m not going to let them carry that burden alone.

I mean... I’d love to play way more shield tank than I do but a lot of men seem to think healing is below them and I want to win ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Dick too big to play healer, I guess

I’ve played with plenty of nonhealer women and I’ve played with plenty that choose healers. They typically tend to pick a healer because they’re trying to be a team player. Couple that with the fact that you’ve got toxic men just a hair trigger away from losing their shit if anything goes sideways and simply not being…

people who grief women for picking mercy should automatically be blocked from receiving any healing.

Boys only group? So Genji, Hanzo, Doomfist, 76, Reaper, Bastion and McCree all flashing their portraits until someone relents and picks Roadhog? Next time you hear a dude in a voice chat, wait for his pissing and moaning about not being able to run DPS like he always does... The reason? I don’t know. You tell me.

As a female, I can say that this is sadly true. But here’s why- it’s because men almost always go DPS. Sometimes you’ll get a tank (or two, if you’re lucky), but very rarely will someone go healer. If they do- fantastic. But as someone that prefers to flex to what the team needs, I have to go healer 95% of the time.…

No, you are. What he is doing is 100% Bullying. You don’t kick over a kid’s sandcastle and call it “roleplaying”.

Let me see if I can break this situation down into its base elements:

You are childish.

He’s not actually just role-playing, and eventually hopefully he’ll come to understand that.

Yes, he does this to other people. It’s all in the article, that’s his “character.” However, the misogynist comments were unique to this situation. This scumbag is just a griefer hiding behind a bogus definition of roleplaying.

It’s griefing, not roleplaying.

Other players didn’t sign on to be the victims in this streamer’s roleplay. His excuses are hollow, and his stream is utterly without merit.

SGX reiterated this point numerous times: he’s just roleplaying, and the people who are criticizing him and reporting his channel are the real bullies and harassers.

Role playing involves consent and I don't think that this guy gets that. 

They always say “Never meet you heroes”, but to me, it’s always been “never meet other fans”.  They will inevitably ruin whatever thing you once loved and make you ashamed to be associated with it.

I’m not sure if you’re saying she did something to deserve it, or that if it doesn’t happen to you it doesn’t actually happen, but either way, what the fuck.

I would love to say it’s the esports culture, because I never really wanted to treat my favorite hobby like a sport in the first place, and I never put any effort into “legitimizing” it (whatever that means). I get a lot more joy out of watching some speedrunner get a new best time on Link to the Past than I do from…
