Gamepass symbol beside name?

I’m an intermediate player and I have the game on gamepass instead of buying it through Steam just because I have gamepass for another year. I feel like people automatically assume you’re a noob and I’m getting booted automatically from lobbies (unranked) just because people see the gamepass symbol. Why would they put this beside your name? I’m going to have to buy it on steam now just to avoid the “discrimination.” Anyone else running into this?
