Several gameplay clips shared on X highlight the misogynistic toxicity that still pervades online games like Valorant

Last summer, I reported on major studios’ valiant efforts to combat toxic voice chat in popular competitive games like Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, and Apex Legends. And though Riot Games , the studio behind the 5v5 competitive hero shooter Valorant , is one of the more aggressive teams in the fight against hateful in-game chat, myriad problems linger in that game, as well.

The post has since been deleted. On the same day, he shared a YouTube video called “lightedits vs joon false accusations” that does not include any of the clips of him discussing Joona’s “ego” or her relationship, or the comments about LunaFox. Bray’s X profile shows that he liked dozens of comments on the original video he shared, including one that tags Elon Musk and asks him to weigh in, and another that reads “every Valorant mf starts a problem then acts like a victim.
