I saw this study last year, and there’s a few aspects of it you’re neglecting to share here:
- This study covered all kinds of online interactions, including social media platforms
- The statistics that delve specifically into online games paint a starkly different picture
- This study does not account for the overwhelming number of women who choose to not communicate via in-game communication methods, which leads to a bit of confirmation bias
- The study also indicates that the reported instances of women being harassed online has more than doubled since 2017
I would strongly encourage anyone sharing polls and statistics to avoid cherry picking only the specific blurbs that defend your viewpoint. This topic is far more complex than a single statistic.
