A CALL of Duty streamer has posted a TikTok of the most persistent question she gets from followers.
Gaming streams are not dating apps – evidently, some players still need to learn that.
GulagQueenXo is a gaming streamer with over 20,000 followers on TikTok.
In a post, she shared that loads of men dump thirsty DM requests into her inbox, many of them asking to play Warzone.
One sympathetic commenter wrote “Nah she aired the 1 guy just tryna run some CoD.”
She replied “Darlin if I had £1 for every man asking to play wz I’d be loaded.”
GulagQueen’s post rang with a bit of irony – the super-pumped electronic music playing over the video leads viewers to believe she’s ragging on these desperate attempts.
She wrote in the comments that she gets hundreds of message requests but normally ignores them.
Gulag Queen said she can’t play with gamers she is unfamiliar with because she has anxiety and doing so would set it off.
Gulag Queen has other cathartic posts putting anonymous players on blast for their misguided attempts to court her via Xbox Live.
The gaming industry has grown rapidly across demographics like age and gender.
Statistica reports that in 2021, 45% of gamers were women – which is up from 41% in 2020.
Professional gaming is a profitable enterprise and some women have excelled in what is thought to be a male-dominated space.
A female gamer going by the alias Scarlett has made almost $300million in competitive play.
Gulag Queen takes it all in stride – her bio reads “Just making sandwiches and washing the dishes on warzone”.
With any luck anonymous online behavior will change as the gaming space becomes more diverse.
