Does it make sense for a girl to participate? Or is it targeted at gamers overall? Don't wanna screw the data you get.

So far I had no experience with sexism but that's because usually I don't say that I'm a girl. Most of the time my team mates joke with me when I hint I'm a girl or say they are girls too. However, I have never played another online game other than LoL before. I think Voice Chat really is a factor. The only thing I got to hear is: "Can you be my porn star". I played Popstar Ahri...

Is it so strange? Like I said I don't tell many people on the internet that I'm a girl xD It can be really troublesome sometimes in RL if a guy finds out that you play LoL or it used to be. The boys I got to know really went nuts when they heard that a girl plays LoL AND is decent. Now I play mostly alone and try to get better with my ****ty internet and rusty mechanics.

Yea, a lot of guys act really weird when they find out you're female. I don't really say anything about it anymore either and apparently my summoner name is subtle enough that most of them don't realize I'm female.

Your name just made me think you were male for some reason I guess!

My IGN is pretty neutral as it is the family name of one of favourite character from a manga.

I stole the name from a guy I once met. I also tend to not use emojis/emoticons which makes me sound less girlish? I've learned that females mostly influenced today's chat language, the way we communicate overall on the internet.
