In an era when the inclusion of women in video games is still a hotly debated issue - despite much being done to put an end to this - it's sad to hear about a new episode involving a popular streamer.

Jason 'JasonR' Ruchelski is a well-known streamer among CS: GO fans, and recently several women have accused the player of banning them from his channel, for the simple fact that they are women. Chat logs have also emerged, clearly demonstrating this measure put in place by Jason himself.

In fact, it seems that JasonR himself has never hidden his desire to remove women from his stream, as this clip from a stream shows. One fan called missPerceived even got banned for no good reason, as she explained on Twitter, and they shared a chat log with a mod in which we also heard that he "bans all girls in his chat", even those with usernames that sound feminine.

Have you heard of anything like this happening before?

Thanks, Dot Esports.
