Playing as a male character: Man, what a mensch, that was so nice of them

Playing as a female character: Oh jesus, it's some nerd who thinks I'm a girl and this is some weird sex thing isn't it

      No TF2?

      Also I remember playing WoW in junior high on an RP server and getting to the inn in the first town, the whole building was full of people in their low poly underpants crouching on top of each other

          Oh I'm sure this stuff is wholly accurate to White Mages in the FFXIV universe or whatever

          Also implied to be a Nazi scientist. Just gives you motivation to do what you're supposed to do in the game, kill the healer first.

        playing FFXIV, some things never change.

      Well it shows how much the idea of gender exists as a construct. Loving that modern-day transhumanism.

      It's also hilariously sad that fantasy and videogame developers still insist on women being healer/support. I almost forgot about the concept of heal sluts.

      :bonk:

      "Heal slut". I had to ban someone from my group because they kept making people uncomfortable due to this. They had a major meltdown when we blocked them from voicechat after i got some messages about it, and told them to cut it out.

          I didn't even know it was a thing until i got about a dozen messages at the same time from some players. I don't play overwatch or whatever they were on, but we had a blanket ban on that type of behaviour. I muted them, then they spammed me with all sorts of bullshit and tried to guilt trip me. I banned them there and then.
