We’ve all heard stories about sexism in gaming, but this one takes the cake! Our protagonist, a female gamer, finds herself in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign on Discord with her boyfriend and a few others. When a new player, Steve, starts a campaign, she’s warned about his sexist tendencies. So, she decides to play a male character to avoid unwanted attention. Little did she know, this would lead to a full-blown drama!

The Verdict: Sexist DM Faces Trial ️
After standing up to Steve’s sexist demands, our heroine finds herself in the middle of a divided group. Some support her decision, while others think she should’ve just complied. The good DM, however, isn’t surprised by Steve’s behavior and plans a ‘trial’ to potentially boot and ban him. Will justice prevail? Or will sexism continue to plague the gaming world?
