Wait, there's women on the internet?!
I opened this post knowing 100% that I'd find this comment.
The internet
Where men are men
Where women are men
Where kids are FBI
—1990s USEnet era adage
Yes, but weirdly, none of us play MMOs.
You're not missing much
I know a few who play as male characters to avoid attention.
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.
Horrible, but still not as bad as exploring it as a girl 🤢 I don't miss being a kid
Yeah. I look back on all the grooming or inappropriate shit people said to me. I definitely didn’t understand at the time but that shit makes me so angry now. Wtf is wrong with people.
Annie get your Powered Work Loader.
Can confirm. Went as Final Girl on Among Us and wow. Dudes got viscous vicious inside minutes.
I think you mean vicious?
Yes, and corrected.
Though viscous seems applicable as well.
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 believe you read this incorrectly.
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
I can't see the screenshot, both from Voyager and the web UI
I can’t even imagine. I see so much misogyny on some lemmy comms.
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.
