This game is NOT female friendly on top of the constant toxicity. I've been playing about 4-5 years. I haven't spoken in voice chat since I started playing because all the guys would say "I can't tell if you are 12 or a manly girl" or "shut up" as soon as I said anything. The community overall is toxic, especially to females. The game itself is fun, but frustrating as hell when you have teammates that just want to stand around and wave and dance in Quick Play and very rarely Competitive. There are people who have no empathy for their healers and expect to be healed through absolutely everything AND not die as they 1 v 6, and if you don't do that you'll get cussed out or called retarded.
I only recommend this game to people who play with friends, or not for long periods of time. I don't think I'll even play Overwatch 2 if they don't do something to help the toxicity even more than automated bots monitoring reports. I love most of the characters and their story, but it's not worth being subject to non-discriminate toxicity every time I want to play.
