“but behaved more submissively towards players with a male voice” I want to know what they mean by submissive
They were less confrontational and more likely to accept direction
Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.
I have ~10k hours in counterstrike across multi game versions and accounts. I noticed a similar thing over my years. The players doing well in a match were often neutral towards gamer girls, but the guy having a shit match would be the fastest sack of shit every time. Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.
Obviously there are always exceptions to any rules but in my anecdotal experience the guys who were confident in their abilities didn’t care about women but losers would attack them just for speaking.
