You know, years ago I was like this too- I'm a woman and I'm pretty skilled at videogames because I've been playing them since I was a kid. And I started to feel like I had to be PERFECT at all times with all kind of games because god forbid I was THAT girl that gave other female gamers a bad name by sucking, amiright?
That soured my experience with online competitive games so much I just stopped playing online altogether. Now I still don't play online pretty often -mostly because the online gaming community is filled with immature idiots who cannot keep their dumb mouths shut for a sec- and I'm pretty happy with my single player experience. I'm still pretty good at most games and I don't mind if I'm less good at others, because one day something just clicked in my brain and I though "is really THAT important that I perform good? Aren't games supposed to be played for fun? And let's be honest, idiots that plays gatekeeping? Will always find excuses to say "videogames are not for women!". Because they are idiots."
Ever since that day, my life has a gamer has improved to god-like levels. I have fun with what I want, I don't play games that doesn't interest me just to prove something anymore, if I want to play a dumb browser game I do without feeing guilty, if I want to play experience like "dear Esther" I do without thinking that I should keep it hidden because "it's not a real game". And, most important, I am welcoming toward all kind of people, whenever they are good at gaming or not, and we all have a lot of fun together.
That, for me, it's way more important that proving that women are good at gaming.
