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

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

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 127 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

There are no girls on the internet

The Internet: Where men are men, women are men and the children are FBI agents.

We've always been trans-inclusive.

Small headcanon:Everyone (that doesn't has a revealed gender) online is a woman until proven otherwise.

It's funny because you can kind of tell based on the username. I'll tell you right now, almost no guy is going to pick "Bb2" or "quackypeach" as their name

Two dudes cybering lesbian porn at each other describes half the content of Literotica.

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

[–] ValorieAF@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago

And then there's us that pretended to be a girl in MMOs not for handouts, but because it turns out we're trans

[–] BalooWasWahoo@links.hackliberty.org 40 points 2 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.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've always said, if you're going to stare at someone's ass for the next 200 hours...

just to get items

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

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago (2 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 2 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.

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

same as an amab I always used to play women cause they got better clothes. I am not trans tho, I mean probably not.

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Girls just have better clothes in general. I like clothes shopping with my daughter all the outfits and dresses are so cute and fun, theres so much variety! Clothes shopping for my son is such a bore :/

For reference I am dad, and theyre both in elementary school.

also some minor mental illnesses

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 2 months ago (4 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.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

"If I'm gonna stare at an ass for hours it may as well be a hot one" is a reason I've heard.

The last descendant seems to be leaning hard on that demographic as well. The outfits are... Basically shovelware mobile game coomer shit.

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
