    I've never been into LARPing, but I used to like to go to Goth chatrooms, and troll the pretend vampires in the late 90s.

        Nope, I just annoyed Goths who thought they were vampires.

    That's not larping; it's just role-playing.

            That's actually not how it works but I'm not suprised considering coming from someone who doesnt even know what larp is

            • then what is larp? It is not my fault I am not familiar with all these slangs in english.
              I mean with no offence, but is it not fulfilling a false fantasy that you do?

              Wishing you were gay and not being able to pull it off is the most heterosexual thing I ever heard of.

    I used to roleplay as an evil yet handsome young Jewish elitist man.

    I quit it though because it gave me depression, because it started reminding me too much of this one Jewish extremist that has done nasty things to me.

    Some of my female friends look like males online because it's just easier to deal with sometimes. But isn't "larping" an irl thing where you roleplay as characters and do fights or smth though?

    I remember when I was in my teens I sort of unintentionally did the opposite. I used to go on chatsites and forums back then and be myself but everyone thought I was a girl...

    I used the first part of my email address (now defunct) which at the time was "xxxvolleyballfanxxx" as my screenname. Needless to say, many people pointed out to me that this looks like a female screenname but I just rolled with it because I was literally just a guy who really enjoyed playing volleyball and couldn't be arsed to change it.

    I recieved so many inappropriate messages from overly horny guys wanting to get their cock wet, and confused the fuck out of them all when I turned my webcam on. It turned out to be pretty fucking hysterical tbh.

        Why is that disgusting? Perfectly innocent on my part.

    Yes, I do. I have been pretending to be male online most of my adult life. It prevents inappropriate messages from men, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the gender pay gap (even though I don't get paid for larping, the principle is there).

      It's easier to talk is it not?

        It certainly is. Communicating telepathically is mentally draining compared to flapping one's mouth-hole in the general direction of others!

        • No dappled haha XD
          I mean that it feels like you have less of a predetermined identity attached to you when you are under a male persona!
          ah I think you knew I meant this, but you are just pulling my foot :D

            Ah, would I do such a thing as pull your foot (or leg) on something such as this?

            Why, yes, I would, and now I'm embarrassed because you've given an intelligent and thought-provoking response that I don't want to poke fun at.

            To be serious for once, I agree with you. Maleness is still normative and femaleness is scrutinised and picked at. The more conservative the country, the more easy it is to be male (and the less likely males are to acknowledge it). We need to do a lot better.

            • Sorry if my phrasing was wrong hehhue
              Normitive is the best word for this! This normativity is evidenced when discussing as a male. From experience I get taken more seriously! :(
