While researching women’s experiences in multiplayer video games recently, I came across this thread on the subreddit about Bungie’s latest live shooter, Marathon. “I’ve played a lot of shooters, and as a feminine-presenting player tbh it’s often a struggle,” it reads. “I’ve heard all the ‘get back to the kitchen’ jokes … But Marathon has been completely different, guys. I haven’t had a single issue, people have been incredibly kind and helpful… The community feels genuinely welcoming to everyone.”
The top-voted reply? “Benefit of being an unc game.”
