Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.

Not really a gold star by the top player’s name for this, either. The comment alone leaves plenty of room to be interpreted as “girls should be easy to beat/poor gamers because they’re girls.”

They wouldn't say "you're getting beaten by a girl" as much as they would respond to the guys losing their minds who happened to be below them on the scoreboard by saying things like "Why are you yelling at her she's playing better than you are shut up". Kinda way.

There are definitely many competent players that will be like “haha you’re getting beaten by a girl” out there, though.

Nobody ever claimed pubstompers were good people. We pubstomp precisely because we're not

I’m hoping this is sarcasm, otherwise that is an interesting thing to be proud of.

I'm not a misogynist but anybody who consistently scores top on a public server pretty much is a pubstomper asshole by definition. And I have certainly been that. You don't do it for the challenge, or you'd be doing league and more competitive modes.
