“It was really weird,” said Meadows. “I was calling for support left in voice chat and one of my teammates just called me a bitch.

    When reached for comment, Meadows’s teammate, a 15-year-old called x_MrMisogyny_x, had this to say:

    “Girls are just worse at video games. It’s like, biological. When I hear a girl in my team chat, I try to make her quit, ‘cuz she’s just not supposed to be there. Gaming is for men, like me.” MrMisogyny had further comments, but was interrupted by his mother calling him downstairs for dinner.

    Lol! Priceless.
