Behind the Screen
These statistics paint a troubling picture of the gaming world:
Nearly 9 out of 10 adult gamers face harassment, while almost half of young players feel compelled to hide who they are. This isn't just about games - it's about people being pushed away from spaces they love and feeling unsafe in their communities.
If you're a gamer, you or someone close to you has experienced this firsthand. Even if you haven't, imagine logging on to relax and have fun, only to be met with abuse or discrimination.
Gaming should be about joy, creativity, and connection - not fear and exclusion.
This widespread issue affects millions and shapes the culture of gaming. By shining a light on this problem, we can work towards creating inclusive spaces where everyone can fully enjoy and express themselves without fear. A more welcoming gaming community benefits all players, enriching our shared experiences and fostering innovation in the industry.
IF YOU’RE A CONTENT CREATOR WHO BELIEVES GAMING SHOULD BE A SAFE AND INCLUSIVE SPACE FOR EVERYONE, WE’D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU.
