So in an update they are holding an event for women identifying people in march 9th on a custom Fortnite map for the campaign

Eyes up cup or something.

Interesting

If I played Fortnite I would probably identify as a woman too.

Good.
Women should be able to enjoy gaming just like the rest of us do.
The harassment is wrong.

Yeah because for men online gaming is such a utopia devoid of racist slurs in every fucking match.

Oh goody, virtue-signaling social justice ad campaigns fresh from their marketing department. It's all the rage amongst corporations these days. Probably the hot brainchild of a perky, fresh intern looking to make a name fer herself and work her way up the corporate ladder.

"The campaign is called Through Their Eyes, and its goal is to draw attention to the issues that woman-identifying gamers have faced."

No, its goal is to sell Maybeline and increase their revenue. Lemme explain how this works; the corporations finance these influencers, and then the influencers go out with their scripted "experiment," and the corporations sit in their corporation buildings, and, see, they're all corporationy, and they make money.

Go back to your sink is my new default insult.

It's such a scripted insult that executives would imagine some gamer would say without actually doing any gaming themselves.

I mean, maybe it's a, real authentic quote from a real, fairly conducted, not staged experiment.

Spoiler:

Maybe its Maybelline

Sexism is just one delivery method out of many. Woman, man, it doesnt matter much, we pretty much all experience attacks on our most easily detectable characteristics.
