The latter criticizes in particular JasonR’s alleged practice of muting women in Valorant or actively ignoring them: “He just mutes every woman on his team in Ranked, or walks out of the game if there’s a woman on his team. That’s not shit-talking, I’m just saying that to me that’s weird behavior, and that’s not okay.”, ShaZam said of JasonR.
