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.
I can remember the Yahoo chat rooms of the 90's. It's always been doods cybering lesbian sex with each other.
There are no girls on the internet
The Internet: Where men are men, women are men and the children are FBI agents.
Girl is internet acronym for Guy In Real Life
Expected this to be higher on urban dictionary, it's on the end of 2nd page.
Two dudes cybering lesbian porn at each other describes half the content of Literotica.
Welcome to the internet
Have a look around...
anything that brain of yours can think of can be found...
Pretending to be a girl for free handouts in MMOs was peak metagaming.
And then there's us that pretended to be a girl in MMOs not for handouts, but because it turns out we're trans
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. ๐ค ๐
Name checks out
The tale as old as the internet.
Those guys scissored so hard they bought a Subaru together
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.
I've always said, if you're going to stare at someone's ass for the next 200 hours...
Now kith
I feel like there are so many dudes who'd fall in love if only both parties were women, and that's beautiful...
This is the meet cute for a bi rom com, right?
I'm just gonna leave this here in case it changes somebody's life: https://medium.com/the-identity-current/plight-of-the-transbian-4ab1a048b09b
Can someone explain why men do this? It takes me just a few messages to figure it out most of the time. What's the motivation?
just to get items
also some minor mental illnesses but we don't talk about that
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
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.
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:
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:
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.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
