As we used to say, "MMORPG means Many Men Online Role-playing Girls".

Which has went in a couple different directions, looking back.

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.

[–] 50MYT@aussie.zone 1 points 10 months ago

And the moderators have beards. Women too

GIRL is also an acronym for Guy In Real Life.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There are no girls on the internet

The Internet: Where men are men, women are men and the children are FBI agents.

We've always been trans-inclusive.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (6 children)

I genuinely wonder whether generation of people who played female avatars in MMOs to get free stuff has put the seed of TERFdom and assorted other anti-trans stereotypes into a generation of people's brains.

On the internet, anyone who claims to be a woman is really a man. Anyone who claims to be a man is really a child. Anyone who claims to be a child is really an FBI agent.

I can remember the Yahoo chat rooms of the 90's. It's always been doods cybering lesbian sex with each other.

[–] bamfic@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I can confirm it happened at least once in MSN too 😬

This was a sweet, wonderful read, thank you

I am a happily being a guy but I identified with Samuel in that story more than I ever would have guessed would have been possible. I have always been jealous of how easy it is for women to make friends and how tender their friendship are. I have never gotten along with macho guys and multiple times in my life people thought I was gay (I am only attracted to women, I just want tender friendships like women have with each other)...

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How did it end? Did they date then?

[–] match@pawb.social 1 points 10 months ago

yes and they're lesbians now

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Eventually they'll both think a little more deeply about why they """pretended""" to be girls online. 🤔 😊

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's a reason transbian is a word

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Any transbian places to recommend?

[–] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yes Please 😊 💖 !

Name checks out

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Pretending to be a girl for free handouts in MMOs was peak metagaming.

I had a friend get a fucking voice changer just to keep the lies going when he did that in D&Donline. It still irritates me that it actually worked. Dude was rolling in gifts and invites.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 10 months ago

There are a few reasons I can think off:

  1. Trick people;
  2. Get items;
  3. ~~egg~~ Experimenting the thought of not being your current gender.

But just like the anon described, it's one of the first two.

I feel like there are so many dudes who'd fall in love if only both parties were women, and that's beautiful...

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Why is that beautiful? Sounds pretty obvious to me. If some of my dude friends were actually women, I'd love to be in a relationship with them. They're cool dudes.
