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
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.
I'm certain you didn't mean that they are, but the meme format kinda implies it, so I just thought I'd point out from here on that intersection that the two groups aren't mutually exclusive😊
(also shout out to fellow enby and or agender afabs lol)
Otherwise both this and op are sadly spot on.
Dude, you clearly haven't been to the internet. This place is vanilla af. An occasional sexist joke gets downvoted to hell.
Back in the days you just had change your nickname or avatar to something even remotely feminine and get blasted with attention. Simping, gifts, adoration, insults, unsolicited sexual requests, and most commonly clear disbelief that you're an actual woman with the classic "pics or gtfo".
There are no girls on the internets, man. And at least to some degree you could say it's for the best.
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".
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.
Annie get your Powered Work Loader.
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.
you're not a real woman. Pics or GTFO.
Thank you so much for proving the point.
