I don't believe in the idea that the video game itself is the source of the negative influence rather than the community surrounding it. Video games from the pre-internet era was just as marketed towards the males as the it is right now, but the toxicity level is higher than ever in today's "community" focused gaming. Overwatch is a good example of this. I applaud the developers for making such a diverse and stereotype-defying world and rosters. It is a game that includes lesbian characters, an autistic character, a beautiful Iraqi city thats not war-torn, and a futuristic African city thats not a slum. But even all that doesn't stop the player base from being toxic and harass other players for whatever reason.
