Why we're r(ule)ly seen

I can’t even imagine. I see so much misogyny on some lemmy comms.
- Honestly, you sadly get used to it - along with, uh, degeneracy directed at you.
  
  Yep I get u. As a disabled person I eventually got used to the inevitable ableism on social media, lemmy is “better” than reddit or X, but it’s still shit.
Wait, there's women on the internet?!
- I opened this post knowing 100% that I'd find this comment.
- The internet
  
  Where men are men
  
  Where women are men
  
  Where kids are FBI
  
  —1990s USEnet era adage
- Yes, but weirdly, none of us play MMOs.
  
  You're not missing much
  
  I know a few who play as male characters to avoid attention.
  
  I know at least two who are in my coven / crew who play MMOs.
  
  I don't like MMOs myself, but I'm way neurodivergent and do a lot of single-player and small-group co-op.
  
  I think I steered away from pub games around the rise of gamergate and the alt-right. Folks got scary.
Annie get your Powered Work Loader.
Horrible, but still not as bad as exploring it as a girl 🤢 I don't miss being a kid
- Yeah. I look back on all the grooming or inappropriate shit people said to me. I definitely didn’t understand at the time but that shit makes me so angry now. Wtf is wrong with people.
Can confirm. Went as Final Girl on Among Us and wow. Dudes got ~~viscous~~ vicious inside minutes.
- I think you mean vicious?
  
  Yes, and corrected.
  
  Though viscous seems applicable as well.
If an actual asshole manages to type anything at all on a keyboard, it should get to post whatever it typed.

- Get that shit rock hard, dehydrate, eat lots of meat
  
  Get in position above the key you want to press
  
  Let the turd slip out, just enough to press the key
  
  Slurp that shit back up
  
  Repeat.until.done.
What if we all pretended to be women because such harassment to a sufficiently wide audience would be extremely isolating
- I believe you read this incorrectly.
i read this as saying that asholes with keyboards go explore the internet as women and that just sounds like the beginning of a trans comic/webtoon
Yeah... I often received messages of men who wanted to rape me or who harassed me on public Discord servers & (mostly) DMs (Discord Townhall, etc, ). This is why I don't use the shorten version of my pseudonym anymore anywhere in public (Lluwu) and deleted my Discord account.

- I can't see the screenshot, both from Voyager and the web UI
