What it's like as a girl in an MMO.....

I've played Destiny since launch. I've made the odd contact here and there. Sometimes on a rare occasion, I'll even add someone as a friend. Well a week or so ago, my girlfriend created an account, and unfortunately for her, has what you might call a 'girly' PSN ID. As a result, she is inundated with random friend requests, and people even start just following her around on patrol. It's all the time. W T F I think I now know what it's like to be a girl in an MMO, and it doesn't seem to be too different from being the the last human alive in a zombie apocalypse. Get a life, please... [u]Edit[/u] To answer several themes occurring: - if it doesn't happen to you personally, or you happen to be a guy and happen to have had similar experiences; congratulations. Either way, this doesn't invalidate the original post. As you can see from the plethora of confirmatory responses from female gamers, this happens a lot, and whilst it's the exception to happen regularly to guys, it's the rule for it to happen regularly to girls. - I am not a girl gamer. I am the boyfriend of a girl gamer. Read the post before jumping in with a presumptuous comment. - I/girls shouldn't complain because there are worse problems in the world? Irrelevant! This is a Destiny related problem being posted on the Destiny forum. Whether there are worse problems in the world is irrelevant in the context of this thread. If you judged every problem based on the existence of worse problems, then you'd never resolve anything, purely because the largest problem is the inexorable exploding of the solar system. Pointing out worse problems is basically a way of saying "I don't really like this post and want to disagree, but can't think of anything sensible to say".
