When I'm in a male dominated space and a woman joins, I feel myself over-compensating in trying to be welcoming to the woman. I want to be the "good guy". I sort of feel like I should make that effort. But also I'd rather just get on with it and not have to think about it.

Insyead try being the bad guy to the other guys. It's more welcoming a lot of the time and focuses on the axtual problem.

Yup, same boat. I want to make sure they feel welcomed to the group but I don't want to make them feel like an "other"

I'm either good enough to play a game rather good or absolutely painfully unaware of how to handle it, I don't have the time to be hateful towards other players at all, not that I want that.

Sometimes you just need to change game or stop playing before acting like a terrible person. Nobody is that terrible they usually learn it. Competitive games are breeding ground for this logic as they reward toxicity more or less openly.

If you're turned off by this, good. It means you have standards. I know we like to keep mentioning these mw2 lobbies, but in comparison with this they were tame. The hatred on these platforms feels more real than what it used to be.
