Personally I think it's pretty androgynous. I'm sure I'd get hounded pretty badly by the people on the server. I'm not debating whether this should happen or whether it's right - it would . Most online gamers are teenagers, and most of them enjoy the anonymity of their Internet connection, as it allows them to verbally abuse strangers in the game. This doesn't mean that I like it, this means that I accept that fact that playing with children means you are going to subjected to childish behavior.
Some people throw a fit over it.
Most of these people appear to be women. I'm already sensing some people opening up Outlook and sending me email deeming me a chauvinistic pig. For the record, I'm 20 years old and married. My wife and I frequently play online together. She uses the nickname 'Shi' and gets trash talked to about as much as I do.
