Three quarters (76%) of female gamers have disguised their gender while gaming, according to new research published on International Women’s Day 2022 today.
FandomSpot.com, a platform for fandoms and online communities, surveyed 2,000 female gamers across the world to discover common behaviours of women whilst gaming.
This followed the release of US statistics which found that women accounted for 45% of gamers in the US in 2021.
Of those who have admitted to disguising their gender, it was revealed that 93% of women did so due to experiencing sexual harassment online.
