Update from my previous post


The female-only VALORANT discord (http://discord.gg/galorants) has been created!

What is GALorants

GALorants is a VALORANT Discord server for all female-identifying. We truly hope that this server can be a positive, encouraging community for all girls: whether they feel disillusioned by experiences of harassment, want to make VALORANT friends, or just have fun with a great group of people.

We currently have ~900 members who have helped grow a flourishing, welcoming community in the span of a couple weeks. We’ve already hosted multiple in-houses, learning sessions for new players, an art contest, and have a tournament coming up this weekend!

How we make sure GALorants stays a safe space

There is a verification process to ensure that all joining members are female-identifying - this is non-negotiable. This server was specifically created to be a female-only space. (This includes trans, female-identifying folks!) If you have questions about your specific situation, please message the mods in the server.

Our goals

As mentioned in the previous post, our purpose isn’t to create a bigger divide between girls and guys who play VALORANT. We hope this server will be a way to boost the confidence of girls to be more active in playing VALORANT rather than being scared away by VC harassment. From there, we hope there will be a natural integration of girls into the broader Valorant community. We have also implemented a rule to prevent unwarranted bashing of ‘males’ as a group to stay true to this vision.


And finally, thank you, sincerely, to everyone who has shown support for this server. So many people have reached out to help on all sides of the gender spectrum. Thank you.

It's worst than League since I get to hear their voices now, and muting all is more consequential since communication is more vital than league, so it all cases I'd prefer not to mute all every game.

Anna and JZ have a blog post about it here: https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/03-on-in-game-player-behavior-and-server-infrastructure/

This issue is definitely in the conversation internally and something everyone takes seriously.
