Senior gamer, Abbe Borg, known as “DieHardBirdie”, and Rumble Gaming are taking a stand against harassment and ageism in esports. Numerous professionals from the gaming industry came forward and shared their experiences of sexual harassment, abuse, and gender discrimination on social media and were met with an outpouring of support from the gaming community.

Ageism has also been a prevalent concern in the gaming industry. The stereotype that most of the “tech-savvy” are coming from the younger generation must be addressed, as no one – regardless of age – should be discouraged from picking up the controller.
