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
I can remember the Yahoo chat rooms of the 90's. It's always been doods cybering lesbian sex with each other.
I put on my robe and wizard hat
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.
Small headcanon:
Everyone (that doesn't has a revealed gender) online is a woman until proven otherwise.
Two dudes cybering lesbian porn at each other describes half the content of Literotica.
Eventually they'll both think a little more deeply about why they """pretended""" to be girls online. ๐ค ๐
Loneliness
Ever deliberately let yourself get catfished by an insta "girl" just because they'll listen to you and act interested in your life for a while?
Because I haven't.
Name checks out
Welcome to the internet
Have a look around...
anything that brain of yours can think of can be found...
We've got mountains of content
Some better, some worse
But none of it is interesting to me
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
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...
I feel like there are so many dudes who'd fall in love if only both parties were women, and that's beautiful...
Now kith
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

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