In college, I played Diablo 2 as a sorceress and a dude was hitting on me because my character was hot?
Like dude, all sorcs in the game are ladies. Wtf.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I had this same username on Reddit for awhile and I got hit up by guys a few times. Like, dudes - it’s a fucking Kids in the Hall sketch. I am not an actual chicken lady.

I played a female character in Metin 2 when I was somewhere around 12 or so. The game was ultra p2w and I got some dude to pay for all the good stuff for me. Later I blocked him because it got really creepy.

Playing online games after 35 be like.
psud@lemmy.world 1 year ago
…Normal
SlothMama@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Literally why is that a weird thing? People over 35 grew up with gaming, it’s pretty normal.

As a Qiqi main, I support your life decisions.
People don’t even bother to ridicule me.

Do people really hook up in games 🤨?
ViscloReader@lemmy.world 1 year ago
People hook up everywhere, plus if you meet through a game you already have a common interest and a lot of stuff to chitchat about Win/win
queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
- Mutual interest
- Games often require talking and supporting each other well to beat the task at hand
- Probably into more games and hobbies together
Indeed, it’s a win/win
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
But it’s only a booty call, a hookup, and he/she is upfront about it, why does it matter if we have common interests or not.

I was talking about hookups, cuz clearly that’s the case in the pic.
ignotum@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In runescape you can buy gf, in dating app you no can buy gf, do the maffs
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Runescape.com is not a dating site.

It's an instant common demoninator. What's the difference than meeting at another hobby?

You know if someone is a 40 year old man or not
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
This was clearly about a hookup only, why does it matter what she’s into… or what you’re into?

I met my fiancée at a training thing for work. Everyone canceled except her her, me, and the teacher, so we had a lot of time to talk lol. We are getting married in a year and a half.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
And games are made to keep you playing, not find parters.
Regardless, this was just a booty call, my experience is that they’re great for that.
hoshikarakitaridia@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Cause those apps suck unfortunately.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I would say the exact opposite, they’re great for hookups.
Maybe it’s the thing about some people being shy IRL (which I’m not), so making conversation is difficult for them.
queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Man, I’ve met partners I dated for years because of random shit. Reddit, random interactions on discord, and a few more. My parents met because of a convention my dad organized for a show that was off the air for a few years at that point.
Humans are social creatures and they do be socializing.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah, but the pic is clearly about a hookup only. Dating apps are great for that, you just specify what exactly it is you’re looking for and you’re golden within a week or two.
I have this friend, he litelarly didn’t go out with us for 2 straight years because of dating apps. He once did some math on how many different hookups he had over those 2 years, it was over well over 200. He’s not handsome or anything, not particularly anyway, or hung or anything like that. He’s just friendly, funny and outgoing. Women sink into that, just be friendly and funny and that’s basically it.
It’s not that hard really, even if you are not as outgoing and funny as him, you could still score once every 2 weeks or so… if sex is what you’re looking for.

Vibi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I personally connect with people easier through games. For me, it removes the feeling that I have to entertain someone through some branching conversation. There’s less pressure knowing we’re focusing on the same task or goal and conversations feel more natural based on what we’re doing or observing. It’s also helpful to see how people approach obstacles and how they handle/display their emotions.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah, but none of that matters for a booty call, and it was just that on the pic, nothing more. She/he wanted a sex partner and asked the first person that was online in the game/app she/he was currently on.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I haven’t played online games in literally decades, but in the 90s, when I used to play MUDs, people used them to hook up (or just do the cybersex thing) all the time. I’m guessing the only big difference now is voice and video are in the mix.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Really? Had no idea to be honest.
mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
At least he is honest about it

I feel personally attacked. I have endured ridicule as a Keqing main for many reasons, but not age. Can’t wait to meet this guy! ᕕ( ᐛ)ᕗ

Same lol
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t play these games, but my kids do. And I am thinking (as a man), why wouldn’t I want my character to be a hot girl. If I an going to spend hundreds of hours staring at an ass, I would rather it be a hot girl ass.
krakenx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s legit the reason why Lara Croft is the star of Tomb Raider.
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
If your main goal is just to create a character that looks as lewd as possible, that’s a little sus in my books. Preferences and all that, I know, but do we really need to add to the already prevalent objectification of women?
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m was right there with you a few years ago. My daughter plays, and I was sure to point out how it was catering to male fantasy and all that. But then I took her to some conventions she asked to go to. Do you know what I saw. More women then men.
And there was a space of computers that people could stop and play genshin and the like. Again more women then men. And the women were all playing genshin while the guys were playing games with more zoomed out interactions. It turns out that women are a big part of the reason for the intricate costumes on female characters and such. I still don’t know what really to make of it all, but I do know my first impression of a game just objectifying women for male pleasure is not accurate. And don’t get me started on the female cosplayers at these conventions.
crashoverride@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If I have the choice, I like to have my protagonist as a woman because it’s just you know different from the norm. Like I chose a female shepherd in Mass effect and now I can’t see that character as anything but a badass woman.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Except… It’s not a woman, it is an object. It’s not real.
Your inability to separate the real from the make-believe is more than a little sus.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I will be one of the first people in line to call out someone for objectifying women, but these are cartoon women. I really don’t think it’s a big deal. I really think it’s okay to ogle a fictional ass. It’s not my thing, but it doesn’t hurt anyone. It’s a victimless crime.
emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Xiangling (the character OP is playing) is (in)famously meta, since she is easy to get, easy to play and very overpowered. All National and International teams revolve around her, and even random teams splash her because she’s just so good.

Hyperlon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What if I liked to make my female character as funny as possible because that’s what I find attractive, Is that objectifying them? What if I made them red headed for that reason, is that objectifying them? Objectifying is to treat a woman like an object. Liking a particular type of woman is your preference, not an objectification of women.
