Misgendering in Multiplayer Games

Soooo, every time I play Among Us with randos, there’s always someone who assumes everyone’s pronouns are he/his. It’s funny, but it definitely gets annoying — like not everyone who plays video games is male :grinning::grinning:

  • Have you ever been misgendered in a game?
  • Do you correct the person who misgenders you?
  • What are some experiences you’ve had with being misgendered?

“Im guy…” So maybe thats why-

OMG YES

IF YOU DONT KNOW PRONOUNS JUST USE THEY THEM WHAT IT ISNT TAHT HARD

Omg this one time one pink and i in the ghost chat talked about how everyone assumes you’re a girl if you use pink as your color or that flower headband i-
And how if you use black or any other colour you’re automatically a guy :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: JUST USE THEY OMG WHY CANT U-

Yes it literally gets so annoying. Like bruh, why do people always assume we are dudes. There are lots of girls that also play video games and play on among us

No yeah but seriously it was meeee :sob: I didn’t pass the test about myself smh

So yeah I’ve been misgendered, as you’ve witnessed earlier :cowboy_hat_face: I don’t correct though because people can be so unreasonably rude and that’s just something I’d personally avoid because it’s gonna be useless to “teach” them anyway if that’s their attitude. I’m not helping people who can’t be helped.

I really don’t mind it much, but I can see it being annoying. It can also be offensive because it shows the stupid stereotype that only men can play games.
