Knowing mentioned player, I found it hard to believe the story could be as bad as poster made it out to be. The fact the GM did nothing only supports this belief as well. However, this is not my issue, or their issue with me rather. No, the issue is I said "players who play female characters should more or less expect to be harrassed at one point or another." and added that one should not make too big of a deal out of it as it is all text. I guess that some people just can't distinguish game from reality and assume that any actions on said player's character is not an action on the character, but inturn an action on the player him/herself. Sorry, but until there's a way to see who or what (gender) is controlling a character in game, there's no way to see what gender said player is.
There are those online who really are who they portray. And there are those..especially friends...who really instill positive or negative influence on one another. You kinda just *know* that person isn't fake. Things like this make me shake my head at society. They come off like it doesn't matter because it is online, but in the real world they also have this "dont take anyone but myself seriously" mentally. People in general will deny it though because they are cowards..
People think it's "insane" to hate someone, or love, or like, or trust, or conversate with another online..cause its "all text". It's easier to hurt someone emotionally online than it is outside of it. They are more willing to be open with people online too. If anyone denies this...I don't know what to say..
