Wait, there's women on the internet?!
The internet
Where men are men
Where women are men
Where kids are FBI

I opened this post knowing 100% that I'd find this comment.
Yes, but weirdly, none of us play MMOs.
I know at least two who are in my coven / crew who play MMOs.
I don't like them, but I'm way neurodivergent and do a lot of single-player and small-group co-op.
You're not missing much
I know a few who play as male characters to avoid attention.
I would play as male characters and then dye their armor pink and flirt relentlessly with the boys. It was fun, especially when you’d get on teamspeak with them after playing together for weeks and they’d be like “wait you’re a girl?”
Oh, I know. I've met a lot of women who do, it was more tongue-in-cheek at the old "Many Men Online Roleplaying Girls".
