Sexist behavior

So, I'm getting extremely annoyed with this new "egirl" trend going around. It doesn't matter if i literally carry my team with mechanics, or map control, or even on occasion damange, or the fact that I have quite literally duoed maybe 1/50th of the games I've played, losers still say i'm an "egirl" becuase I play caster supports.

I don't care that these people don't know I'm a girl in game, I do however care that this is somehow acceptable behavior. And I don't care if "Some girls get carried by playing janna, raka etc etc." I sure don't, and plenty of other females in my elo or higher don't.

So, does Riot consider this to be toxic behavior?

keep in mind if someone were to say "You're a support, you're a girl" i'd be like, "kay." because it is kind of true a large portion of femlaes play support. But, the term "egirl" is meant to suggest that I get carried by people better than me.

I play tons of Sona support, and I don't think I've ever been assumed to be female, nor insulted over it. I literally basically one-tricked Sona support duo'd with more experienced ADC friends from 1-30.

I do believe things like that are considered toxic, but I don’t think that they’re considered sexist.

Please note that using gender, race, other things as a point is not necessarily hateful or sexist/racist/whatever. It is only when they are used as an insult, and that insult is based on the “protected class” (i.e. gender, race, etc) that it becomes hateful.

If their calling you an "Egirl" solely on your female champion pick, then it's most likely a joke/meme about how most female gamers play female support champions
