    Yeah… I often received messages of men who wanted to rape me or who harassed me on public Discord servers & (mostly) DMs (Discord Townhall, etc, ). This is why I don’t use the shorten version of my pseudonym anymore anywhere in public (Lluwu) and deleted my Discord account.

      Honestly, you sadly get used to it - along with, uh, degeneracy directed at you.

        Yep I get u. As a disabled person I eventually got used to the inevitable ableism on social media, lemmy is “better” than reddit or X, but it’s still shit.

            I’m certain you didn’t mean that they are, but the meme format kinda implies it, so I just thought I’d point out from here on that intersection that the two groups aren’t mutually exclusive😊

            (also shout out to fellow enby and or agender afabs lol)

            Otherwise both this and op are sadly spot on.

        I know a few who play as male characters to avoid attention.

          I would play as male characters and then dye their armor pink and flirt relentlessly with the boys. It was fun, especially when you’d get on teamspeak with them after playing together for weeks and they’d be like “wait you’re a girl?”

          Oh, I know. I’ve met a lot of women who do, it was more tongue-in-cheek at the old “Many Men Online Roleplaying Girls”.

        I know at least two who are in my coven / crew who play MMOs.

        I don’t like MMOs myself, but I’m way neurodivergent and do a lot of single-player and small-group co-op.

        I think I steered away from pub games around the rise of gamergate and the alt-right. Folks got scary.

    If an actual asshole manages to type anything at all on a keyboard, it should get to post whatever it typed.

    What if we all pretended to be women because such harassment to a sufficiently wide audience would be extremely isolating

    i read this as saying that asholes with keyboards go explore the internet as women and that just sounds like the beginning of a trans comic/webtoon
