As we used to say, "MMORPG means Many Men Online Role-playing Girls".

Which has went in a couple different directions, looking back.

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

And the moderators have beards. Women too

And the moderators have beards.

Bold of you to assume that moderators are married.

GIRL is also an acronym for Guy In Real Life.

Pretending to be a girl for free handouts in MMOs was peak metagaming.

[–] BalooWasWahoo@links.hackliberty.org 40 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I had a friend get a fucking voice changer just to keep the lies going when he did that in D&Donline. It still irritates me that it actually worked. Dude was rolling in gifts and invites.

Eventually they'll both think a little more deeply about why they """pretended""" to be girls online. 🤔 😊

There is a bad bitch inside of all of us lowkey. But at least in RPGs I like to be a chick because I usually like the clothing options.

just to get items

also some minor mental illnesses but we don't talk about that

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago (7 children)

honestly when i was a kid i always picked male characters (despite being afab) because "the clothes looked better", fast forward a couple of years, i transitioned to male and i realised i used video games as my main escape from worsening gender dysphoria

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago

I knew a guy who used that exact same reasoning to play female characters. It's funny how the way you want to look in a videogame can sort of tap into subconscious desires sometimes.

"Obviously I couldn't dress like that IRL because of gender rules, but since I can choose my gender in this game..."

It's sort of like The Button thought experiment.

I don't like to call it "mental illnesses" because it makes it look like it's a property of the person; however, it is a property of society:

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (8 children)

I often play RPGs as a female character, as a means of stepping outside of myself and actually, you know, role-playing. But I seldom play online games, and do not try to convince anyone that I'm a woman irl.

Still, it's interesting how people assume that because I've chosen to spend my game time watching a female avatar run about, I must be a woman. I've been in some sticky situations, but none thus far involving anyone claiming to be lesbian.

There are a few reasons I can think off:

  1. Trick people;
  2. Get items;
  3. ~~egg~~ Experimenting the thought of not being your current gender.

But just like the anon described, it's one of the first two.

Fake: anon would not pretend to be gay up through the point of lesbian cybersex

Gay: I don't see how this story could possibly be any gayer

I play girls in 3rd person mmos and my wife place huge dudes.
