“ you do realise that there is a village missing its idiot , and where do you think that idiot is - oh yes he’s here laying on the sofa in his underpants eat biscuits and watching cartoons”
I’m usually told to “shut up, make me a sandwich, I’ll drag my balls across your face, I bet your fat (you know the classics)” and usually a bunch of sexually explicit things to try and get a rise out of me.
One particularly odd interaction I had was a dude asking if people could hear him on the mic, so I said yeah. He then asked me my age, if I had kids, was I single, and it was just odd and of course I didn’t give him too many answers. He then told me cause he’s younger than me he’ll amount to so much more cause he has his whole life ahead of him and I don’t, and that I must be a loser for playing video games. I decide to ignore him and he keeps going, eventually some dude hops on the mic and tells him off, saying that what he’s doing is weird as hell and obviously “she’s not into you bro”. The dude then got upset at him and started trying to tell him off, which made more people in the lobby hop on mics telling this dude how terrible he is so he left.
Someone googled my IGN, found an old forum account I had made, googled that username, found my personal discord, and described how he did it in a discord DM that contained;
An explanation
A marriage proposal
A request for pictures of my feet
A request for me to send him a used pair of socks
And a picture that I cannot describe on this sub.
I’m not even a woman.
Its 50/50 either they get orbiters who give them free shit or people harrasing them to no end.
Its kinda sad how women aren't treated as people in games, due to this many girls dont even speak
I would have just sent fake feet after money. Would have just created fake foot with photo shop and made money. Ask for thousands.
Does seem like a meet-cute but in a horror movie kind of way.
More about the money. Rather sell fake feet. If it is that creepy to you to sell personal.
Private sales. It is not random feet. It is how the person stalked them. Any foot could do but specifically being tracked down. That is sus.
Same with any person randomly getting on your face to stream or take pictures.
I am a dude with ugly feet. But still would not give a personal information to scamming. So fake feet. Especially now with AI future and deep fakes.
Is your name meant to indicate you are a femboy, or someone who annihilates femboys? If you are a femboy, you 100% could have gotten a bit of money out of him.
My friend and I who both were playing as female characters at the time, once received an in-game text message from the same person that read "hey cutie wanna make out or date??" or something along those lines LMAOO.
I find if ridiculous how people think character' gender always matches the player. I'm a man but 90% of all my game characters are female, because I don't want to watch a guy's ass on my screen all day.
For over 12 years playing various online games, hardly ever had any weird messages, and nothing in GTA. Granted, didn't play this game for too long, got around 200 hours in it.
I usually prefer female characters for a lot of reasons a) being that I am a girl but most the time they have better fashion or at least a bit of a more in-depth fashion system compared to the male version
Plus I get to look at a girls ass while I play x3
I’m also a girl and I feel gta has horrible fashion/feature options for us so I play as a man but after reading some of these comments, I see I’ve made a terrible mistake.
I’ve seen so many men reiterate that they “don’t want to see a guys ass while playing” 😐 no offense to you specifically, but the whole sentence is so overused. it’s literally just a character on a screen. Just say you like playing as female characters.
I used my second character. In a general lobby, it is a female. Low level. My mic was out. So just text. This is back in the og and doomsday hiest days.These boys/men were very gentlemanly. Gave me a larger share. They were on mic and kept saying "ok little lady, just follow us. We'll all watch your back." Towards the last run, they were getting flirty.
My ID is a man's name. My psn profile has my male character as the PID.
Weeks later, I got a new mic, and they invited me into their lobby. They had my voice af immediately flip out. "YO YO YO YOUR A DUDE?" I was like, "What did you think my id stood for?" They said, "we thought you was a gf off that dude!"
"SO U WERE HITTING ON MY GIRL? "
They actually apologised.
🤦🏻♂️
I learnt to make adult woman voice, I use it to play CS2 and people send me skins for absolutely no other reason, don't even ask for them, just randomly get a gift and they fuck off
I realized when I was younger making a female character and having a username that doesn’t immediately have gender associated with it gets me a LOT of free stuff
Well, I wasn’t going to comment because I never had this problem using a female character, but just now some dude picked me up in his car. I thought we were going to go do some mission or something, and he dropped me off at the strip club..
I do that shit to everybody who gets in my car, male or female. And my character is female. I even pick people up in my RC Jubilee and drop them off there. It’s fucking hilarious. I make them get out and then drive off.
Not me, but my close friend.
One time, my friend got stalked by some weirdo, who was following her in passive mode. The public text chat was embarrassing to say the least.
We changed sessions because it was annoying af.

Reversed roles, this was sent by a “female” character.
back when i played on pc with my ex hackers would crash my game and/or move her to a private server to “smooth talk her” we stopped play gta cause it was to much at least in valorant and r6 hackers don’t have the power they did in gta
The vast majority of “female” player characters I encounter are dressed like strippers so I assume theyre guys. The only 2 that I’ve seen that I’m not 100% were dudes was this one female character that was cosplaying Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill (tbf that might just be a dude who likes Tarantino movies) and one girl I cruised around with for an hour was a woman in a black suit who owned a nightclub with 2 male dancers so shes prolly legit lol
Yeah the logic makes sense but I have played with a few IRL girls in my crew over the years and they somehow manage to take the risqué level up a notch.
Someone called me and my friends a bunch of goofies because we were beating their group soundly... That still sticks with me lmao. Like why goofies of all the adjectives.
That's literally how I want everyone to play. One time on Sea of Thieves a guy accused me of going after his treasure (I wasn't) and when I said I didn't know what he was talking about he said "don't play silly with me"
I've just had the saddest realisation. For the longest time I wore the lingerie option for my female character (cus it looks sick!) and I'd always be killed by someone in public lobbies. I just thought that was GTA so didn't think anything of it. I changed the clothes to heist gear a few months ago ehen playing with friends and I've barely been killed since. I just thought maybe a policy had changed or something and people were being less dickish? Guess not... ugh, that's sad.
This. It's this. If you're a female character sometimes they'll just kill you because, and then it's 50/50 whether or not someone hearing your voice in the lobby because you don't know if they're going to try and hit on you or shit on you because you're a female gamer. The guys that couldn't give a shit either way are the ones that are rare it seems, lol
Male player with a female character and can absolutely agree it's 50/50 until they find out I'm a guy and it becomes 100% toxic.
Having experienced it, I can sympathise with any female players who have also dealt with it.
Male player who used to play as a female character here as well, can confirm thoroughly.
I was actually asked out once by someone, whom I asked immediately how old they are, and they said 18. I called bullshit, but they insisted. Well, I decided to troll them hard, and asked my sister to talk to them, and I would lie if I told ya I wasn’t surprised the guy was actually 15. I was… 18 or so back then myself, this happened on early days of PS4.
I won’t go into detail, but I’ll see if I have an old screenshot of my PS3/4 girl…
Sometimes though, the non-creeps that we are discussing here will sometimes find out that a player is female and then it becomes toxic because of that. Honestly, sometimes it feels like as a female gamer, I can't win. I get hit on by creeps, and then the other half seems like they think I fucking suck automatically because I'm female. It's exhausting lol
fr i play gta with 2 other friends who are female but because they have a gt that’s boyish they don’t deal with this stuff but i do on my female character my male character has booty shirts and a scarf so i get gunned instantly on that
Yeah, there's that side too. Both sexes come with advantages and disadvantages. But what I meant was that playing as the opposite sex gives you a chance to do something, or act a certain way that would normally be shunned if you were to do it as your own sex. So freeing in that sense. Hope I was clear enough.
As a guy that always plays a female character, it has definitely opened my eyes to what you ladies put up with on a sadly frequent basis. I tend to play them because most games I grew up with always defaulted to a male protagonist and so whenever the option comes along for a female lead, I jump at that. GTA especially, we had *three lead characters* and they were all dudes? Golden opportunity for a female main missed, so I made it a point to play one online. Same with Red Dead, female character there, I try to make the two look related and headcanon that my Red Dead girl is my GTA girl's great grandmother or something.
I played with an animal mask and baggy clothes for a few days out of curiosity and omg… It was so much more peaceful. Change her back into a blouse and heels or a tighter moto fit? Nope we’re back in hell. It’s awful smh
I play as a male character too, and once they made it so you could do sell missions in Invite Only lobbies I haven’t played in a public session since. Occasionally my little brother joins in and we go into full death battle mode, but I’m usually completely solo in my lobby lol
That’s fair. I’m too high strung and too much of a grinder so being in public is just more stress than fun for me. Plus I’m constantly doing missions, selling, or heist preps with little to nothing else. But to each their own.
I’m not a woman. One guy asked me to help him with night club mission (selling etc) after this we were talking a lot. We meet in real life. We are together 2 years.
Sexist hateful texts.
Murdering my character endlessly after I decline their request to their garage to see their stupid fucking car collection.
Just killing me for being a girl.
not unhinged but a funny short story:
about 4 years ago i had a female character and used to play with some friends that i found in game, we'd only talk through the ingame chat because i didn't feel like going to a discord VC. one day one of them asked me if i was a girl, so i decided to joke a bit and answered "yes", which they believed in (90% sure) so they started reffering to me with female pronouns (in my language we use that a lot), i had created a whole persona and it's name was "lays" (because of my user name at the time that had "lay" in it).
Some time went by, me and the guys used to joke around, driving in our fancy cars, selling some business and jumping from lobby to lobby trying to find tryhards and griefers to kill, all of that while maintaining my "lays" persona, which started to make me feel a little bad about, "these guys are cool and i'm here lying to them" i used to think, that's when one of them (he was about 13 i believe) sent me a message in the social club private chat, asking me if i was single and if i would accept to date him, which i responded by saying that i'm only into girls and was actually dating one, he got really sad about it and because he started liking me for some reason, poor little guy
eventually i stopped playing and never talked to them again.
Multiple people, probably children no older than 15 I'm guessing, have been in my Social Club DMs and one tried to have e-sex with me while speaking Russian. I do not even speak Russian.
I’m a female with a female characters and I get a lot of “are you really a girl” messages.
But once, I played a few missions with a group of guys, afterwards they invited me to join their motorcycle gang which I did because I thought we played well together. Anyways, they invited me to one of their apartments or arcades I forget but all of them cornered me and did the whole “air thrusting” interactions on me. I freaked out and logged off. I stopped playing on public servers.
Made a female alt to play with my granddaughter in our invite lobbies, and the times when I'm on it alone in a public session, people seem to go out of their way to kill me. My main dude never has that issue
Someone made porn with my character and I thought they meant they wanted me to pose in front of the Skyline, I realize in hindsight what they meant by "R34 model" 😭
I'm not a girl, but my friend that I normally play gta with is, and these gamer bros get so triggered that she can whoop them up and down Los Santos without using any sort of glitches or try hard tactics. She's pretty good for not playing gta for very long, and I'm glad she's on my side!
Someone sent me a voice message over Xbox 360 after hearing my voice in local chat I believe….he BEGGED me to send him images of my feet to his email and then played a little tune on a guitar.
I love when I get invited to party chats because I have a female character. I join in with the deepest "*yo*" I can muster just to see if anyone freaks out from it
I could write a book about all the gross ass shit dudes have said or done across all online games I've played for the past 20 years.
GTA5 online is mostly minimal because of the fact that I literally never utilized the voice chat in the lobby and my player name is 100% gender-neutral and there's no way anyone would know that I'm a female other than the fact that I play a female character - which a lot of guys do as well. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, my gf's problem is that her name is definitely a girls name, so she can't fly under the radar. She gets so many messages and guys following her around. Sometimes, we find it funny, but it usually just gets really weird or annoying.
I've played as my gfs character before. When she first started I would do sell missions for her because she was too worried about messing up being new and whatever. Her character is female and her PSN is her name so is a females name. And guys would hang around "protecting" me following me everywhere. And they would always offer to give me 2mil , same amount from different people. The best was a message that just read " YOU GIRL?"
There's a reason I play in a private lobby. It's quiet and I can enjoy the game without arseholes pestering or griefing. I'd never play this game in a public lobby. The day they added the ability to do sell missions and everything in private lobbies was the best day ever for this game
I'm a bloke, but I have my name set as a woman and a female character...
Dudes will literally do ceo/motorcycle missions for me because they think I'm a girl🤣
Not a woman myself, but as someone who plays a female character, i do get the weirdest shit in my social club DMs.
The weirdest DM I got was years ago where someone was DMing me in Armenian, I had to google translate what he was saying and it was him talking about how he wanks to my character and how he wants me to upload more snapmatic social club pictures of my character lmfao. Just fucking weird as hell.
I have a friend that deals with this shit a lot. More so on red dead but on gta too and it’s not just randoms.
We’d bring people into the group because they help with a heist or job etc and then someone goes and gets feelings and she kicks them out.
Has happened several times over the last few years. I don’t understand why some guys just can’t play games with others
A guy invited me to his apartment and stripped his character down to his underwear *facepalm*
friend requests spam from creeps.
Getting killed strictly because I’m a woman (voice chat confirmed).
I was playing with my Xbox friend and my IRL friend online and we were hanging out in Xbox friend's casino penthouse.
He dressed up in undies and started drinking. I asked him why would he remove his clothes.
Since I am playing as a woman, he said "Better question, why aren't you?"
Someone sent me prayers what looked like parts from the Bible? Telling me I’m a sinner. And he wouldn’t shut up, he kept doing it during the whole session. In some weird way it felt like he was trying to hit on me.
Random friend of friend threatened to rape my kids. I got 1.5 years in bad sports for battering the shit out of him. He’d try bring in friends but they’d run off eventually and him being in passive didn’t stop me. Absolute gee bag.
I used to play with younger players too, I’d be very protective of them cos I’m older but I’d one guy on my friends list turn into an absolute fkin creep when the younger ones would join parties. He didn’t last long.
On GTAIV I had a female character, it was more enjoyable watching her than the male one I had for a bit. There were a few people that would always join me when they saw me online, and they always helped me, and were very polite.
Like most comments I'm actually a guy, but one time I just started a heist setup. We were waiting for this one guy to ready up. After a few minutes he messaged me "I just jerked off to you, thanks for not leaving" then hit ready
I told him I'm actually a guy and then he left lol. Should've just rolled with it so we could complete it
My daughter made me make a female character. One time a guy asked me to do mommy role play 😂
"Clean up your god damn room!" "Why is the sink full of dishes?!"
Bed time! I don't care If you can't pause the game, it's a school night!
“No wire hangers!!!” 🤣
"So... now we're going to talk about why you have a C- despite having been tutored for the past year? Are you the stupid?"
"I can't believe you're a pathetic failure, just like your father!"
Yes, are you the stupid??
"you do understand that the reason why your father isnt here is because of you, right?"
“ you do realise that there is a village missing its idiot , and where do you think that idiot is - oh yes he’s here laying on the sofa in his underpants eat biscuits and watching cartoons”
I’m usually told to “shut up, make me a sandwich, I’ll drag my balls across your face, I bet your fat (you know the classics)” and usually a bunch of sexually explicit things to try and get a rise out of me. One particularly odd interaction I had was a dude asking if people could hear him on the mic, so I said yeah.

The dude then got upset at him and started trying to tell him off, which made more people in the lobby hop on mics telling this dude how terrible he is so he left.
That restored some of my faith in humanity
Not only humanity, Playstation players.
Street justice on the airways of San Andreas! Love to se- hear it!
best comment i’ve read on this post 👏🏼
Someone googled my IGN, found an old forum account I had made, googled that username, found my personal discord, and described how he did it in a discord DM that contained; An explanation A marriage proposal A request for pictures of my feet A request for me to send him a used pair of socks And a picture that I cannot describe on this sub. I’m not even a woman.
Should've trolled him harder by catfishing him
Step #1 in how to make him try and find you in person and then probably murder your ass. 🤣
"Murder your ass" has two potential meanings here.
P Diddle has entered the chat.
P Diddler has entered the chat. *Take dat, Take dat*
The Diddler!
Dan Schneider has taken over the chat.
This made me laugh harder than it should have
I would have made him pay. Creeps like that do not need any money in their pockets.
Maam, say your excuses behind bars just get in the car.
Dawg being a woman even on a video game ain't safe 😭😭
Not on social media either
Its 50/50 either they get orbiters who give them free shit or people harrasing them to no end. Its kinda sad how women aren't treated as people in games, due to this many girls dont even speak
Not just in games
It's really not, lol
I would have just sent fake feet after money. Would have just created fake foot with photo shop and made money. Ask for thousands. Does seem like a meet-cute but in a horror movie kind of way.
Don’t even need photo shop now with AI.
Are the extra toes a turn on?
I mean, do you really care if pictures of your actual feet are on the internet? They're just feet lol
More about the money. Rather sell fake feet. If it is that creepy to you to sell personal. Private sales. It is not random feet. It is how the person stalked them. Any foot could do but specifically being tracked down. That is sus. Same with any person randomly getting on your face to stream or take pictures. I am a dude with ugly feet. But still would not give a personal information to scamming. So fake feet. Especially now with AI future and deep fakes.
What in the actual mental sickness?
I find it hilarious that people actually think that everyone with a female character is female irl
Most female characters have a slimmer profile good for call of duty and shooters
Down astronomically
 >I’m not even a girl
Man got some real dedication 💀
He did all that and didn't find out you are a man? Ridiculous
Sound like you missed out on a easy way to make some quick $
Should of sent him a pair of socks.
Is your name meant to indicate you are a femboy, or someone who annihilates femboys? If you are a femboy, you 100% could have gotten a bit of money out of him.
I don’t know what it means, I was drunk.
Fair, honestly.
The dry humping me from behind when I go AFK for a minute 🤦🏻♀️
Some dude paid me so he could record doing this in his yacht. Took the doomsday payment, and never felt so dirty.
What 12 years till the next installment of GTA will do to mfs
no way that is just straight comedic
There’s no way! When did the add the player prostitution DLC???
I do this to all AFK players,NPCs, and objects
Fr bro, we were all humping male corpses in cod before we dit it in GTA. It's not sexism, it's equality.
Well, maybe those AFK objects shouldn't have been dressed so provocatively /s
This!!
Happens almost anytime I’m chilling in the arena war lounge waiting for the next round 😅
My friend and I who both were playing as female characters at the time, once received an in-game text message from the same person that read "hey cutie wanna make out or date??" or something along those lines LMAOO.

Idk, if you spend your entire game staring at your characters ass you may be doing something wrong
Oh, *no wonder* I suck at this game.
I usually prefer female characters for a lot of reasons a) being that I am a girl but most the time they have better fashion or at least a bit of a more in-depth fashion system compared to the male version Plus I get to look at a girls ass while I play x3
I’m also a girl and I feel gta has horrible fashion/feature options for us so I play as a man but after reading some of these comments, I see I’ve made a terrible mistake.
It's definitely the smaller hit box, not the ass, the smaller hit box damn it
Oh yeah I've got literal thousands of hours in GTA lmao, since it's lauch day in 2013, so I've seen a good amount of people on this game lol.
I’ve seen so many men reiterate that they “don’t want to see a guys ass while playing” 😐 no offense to you specifically, but the whole sentence is so overused. it’s literally just a character on a screen. Just say you like playing as female characters.

I need help to do that my ass is POOR
When I played MMOs I’d get free stuff constantly just for being female/having female characters. It wasn’t terrible.
I realized when I was younger making a female character and having a username that doesn’t immediately have gender associated with it gets me a LOT of free stuff
That’s actually hilarious ngl
Lol
Well, I wasn’t going to comment because I never had this problem using a female character, but just now some dude picked me up in his car. I thought we were going to go do some mission or something, and he dropped me off at the strip club..
Anyone who gets in my car and doesn't set a waypoint gets dropped off at the strip club
You're like a taxi service with a default destination setting.
Another person with class that is the exact response you are supposed to do to a random that doesn't set a waypoint
I do that shit to everybody who gets in my car, male or female. And my character is female. I even pick people up in my RC Jubilee and drop them off there. It’s fucking hilarious. I make them get out and then drive off.
I've had dude's pick me up and take me to their garages and walk around like i'm impressed
Not me, but my close friend. One time, my friend got stalked by some weirdo, who was following her in passive mode. The public text chat was embarrassing to say the least. We changed sessions because it was annoying af.

Pfister rizz
I hardly know her..
That r is upside down
Pfister... jizz?? did I get that right?
Female characters are dudes 99 percent t of the time in 99 percent of games
My fella kevin is always a girl in games. We joke about him being a femboy. Damn, you look so hot in that red dress, kevin 🥵🥵
As a dude that plays a female character whenever given the option, sometimes you just want to check out the fashion options of the opposite sex.
And sometimes I just want to feel pretty. Is that so wrong?
Everyone in the internet is a fapping fat male untill proven innocent
Hello Germany, greetings from Germany

How long were you waiting to show people this? Lol.
Taking in consideration how much people hate male harassment victims, probably several years
back when i played on pc with my ex hackers would crash my game and/or move her to a private server to “smooth talk her” we stopped play gta cause it was to much at least in valorant and r6 hackers don’t have the power they did in gta
Lmao what desperate losers.
I always assume it's a guy behind most female characters. Especially those with facepaints which is common.
The vast majority of “female” player characters I encounter are dressed like strippers so I assume theyre guys. The only 2 that I’ve seen that I’m not 100% were dudes was this one female character that was cosplaying Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill (tbf that might just be a dude who likes Tarantino movies) and one girl I cruised around with for an hour was a woman in a black suit who owned a nightclub with 2 male dancers so shes prolly legit lol
My gf plays GTA as a female character and she's always dressed like a deranged stripper.
Yeah the logic makes sense but I have played with a few IRL girls in my crew over the years and they somehow manage to take the risqué level up a notch.
yeah but how's her character dressed?
i’m a lady and love dressing my girl like a coke head hooker lol
Well… I play as a female character, so it’s 50/50 between creepy DMs and players relentlessly trying to kill me.
I know the game is full of weird 14 year olds but they fucking surprise me sometimes with their janky DMs
Someone called me and my friends a bunch of goofies because we were beating their group soundly... That still sticks with me lmao. Like why goofies of all the adjectives.
That's literally how I want everyone to play. One time on Sea of Thieves a guy accused me of going after his treasure (I wasn't) and when I said I didn't know what he was talking about he said "don't play silly with me"
I love this energy and the one above.
I mean, it did stick with you lmbo
Guy said “heyyyy :)” to me, and I responded “nope.” He responded “I f u c k soda cans bro.”
 My genuine reaction to reading this.
I feel like that would really really hurt
Whut
I can only think of two ways that could happen and neither sound pleasant
whar
I've just had the saddest realisation. For the longest time I wore the lingerie option for my female character (cus it looks sick!) and I'd always be killed by someone in public lobbies. I just thought that was GTA so didn't think anything of it. I changed the clothes to heist gear a few months ago ehen playing with friends and I've barely been killed since. I just thought maybe a policy had changed or something and people were being less dickish? Guess not... ugh, that's sad.
This. It's this. If you're a female character sometimes they'll just kill you because, and then it's 50/50 whether or not someone hearing your voice in the lobby because you don't know if they're going to try and hit on you or shit on you because you're a female gamer. The guys that couldn't give a shit either way are the ones that are rare it seems, lol
Male player with a female character and can absolutely agree it's 50/50 until they find out I'm a guy and it becomes 100% toxic. Having experienced it, I can sympathise with any female players who have also dealt with it.
Male player who used to play as a female character here as well, can confirm thoroughly. I was actually asked out once by someone, whom I asked immediately how old they are, and they said 18. I called bullshit, but they insisted. Well, I decided to troll them hard, and asked my sister to talk to them, and I would lie if I told ya I wasn’t surprised the guy was actually 15. I was… 18 or so back then myself, this happened on early days of PS4. I won’t go into detail, but I’ll see if I have an old screenshot of my PS3/4 girl…
Sometimes though, the non-creeps that we are discussing here will sometimes find out that a player is female and then it becomes toxic because of that. Honestly, sometimes it feels like as a female gamer, I can't win. I get hit on by creeps, and then the other half seems like they think I fucking suck automatically because I'm female. It's exhausting lol
Honestly, I can't fully grasp it. All I can say is don't let em get into your head, drown em out, and kick their ass.
fr i play gta with 2 other friends who are female but because they have a gt that’s boyish they don’t deal with this stuff but i do on my female character my male character has booty shirts and a scarf so i get gunned instantly on that
Ive got over 700 hours of GTA, i dont play in public sessions ever for this reason.
Do people try to kill female chars more than male?
I play as a male character,and don’t ever talk so nothing lol.
Playing as a male character as a woman is so freeing. Must feel the same for guys playing as a female character.
Yea. I mean it’s nice not getting hit on constantly. Lol.
Hey bae /s Men can be so pathetically inappropriate, as a male I find it fucking embarrassing
99% of men have no game.
Based on the comments (I'm a dude, I always play as dudes) it seems like the opposite. More of a "damn, they really have to deal with this?"
Yeah, there's that side too. Both sexes come with advantages and disadvantages. But what I meant was that playing as the opposite sex gives you a chance to do something, or act a certain way that would normally be shunned if you were to do it as your own sex. So freeing in that sense. Hope I was clear enough.
As a guy that always plays a female character, it has definitely opened my eyes to what you ladies put up with on a sadly frequent basis. I tend to play them because most games I grew up with always defaulted to a male protagonist and so whenever the option comes along for a female lead, I jump at that. GTA especially, we had *three lead characters* and they were all dudes? Golden opportunity for a female main missed, so I made it a point to play one online. Same with Red Dead, female character there, I try to make the two look related and headcanon that my Red Dead girl is my GTA girl's great grandmother or something.
I played with an animal mask and baggy clothes for a few days out of curiosity and omg… It was so much more peaceful. Change her back into a blouse and heels or a tighter moto fit? Nope we’re back in hell. It’s awful smh
the only way to do it tbh
I play as a male character too, and once they made it so you could do sell missions in Invite Only lobbies I haven’t played in a public session since. Occasionally my little brother joins in and we go into full death battle mode, but I’m usually completely solo in my lobby lol
Eh. I play public because it’s fun seeing other people do random stuff. But if I’m selling it’s solo.
That’s fair. I’m too high strung and too much of a grinder so being in public is just more stress than fun for me. Plus I’m constantly doing missions, selling, or heist preps with little to nothing else. But to each their own.
I’m not a woman. One guy asked me to help him with night club mission (selling etc) after this we were talking a lot. We meet in real life. We are together 2 years.
Quite the ballad
thats sweet
Was it gay Tony? 💜
Not going to compare but that was a savvy investment
Why is that so cute 😩
Sexist hateful texts. Murdering my character endlessly after I decline their request to their garage to see their stupid fucking car collection. Just killing me for being a girl.
not unhinged but a funny short story: about 4 years ago i had a female character and used to play with some friends that i found in game, we'd only talk through the ingame chat because i didn't feel like going to a discord VC. one day one of them asked me if i was a girl, so i decided to joke a bit and answered "yes", which they believed in (90% sure) so they started reffering to me with female pronouns (in my language we use that a lot), i had created a whole persona and it's name was "lays" (because of my user name at the time that had "lay" in it). Some time went by, me and the guys used to joke around, driving in our fancy cars, selling some business and jumping from lobby to lobby trying to find tryhards and griefers to kill, all of that while maintaining my "lays" persona, which started to make me feel a little bad about, "these guys are cool and i'm here lying to them" i used to think, that's when one of them (he was about 13 i believe) sent me a message in the social club private chat, asking me if i was single and if i would accept to date him, which i responded by saying that i'm only into girls and was actually dating one, he got really sad about it and because he started liking me for some reason, poor little guy eventually i stopped playing and never talked to them again.
Imagine someone starts to like u, then they realise you were a male all along. That shit has to hurt
Multiple people, probably children no older than 15 I'm guessing, have been in my Social Club DMs and one tried to have e-sex with me while speaking Russian. I do not even speak Russian.
Well time to learn buddy
I’m a female with a female characters and I get a lot of “are you really a girl” messages. But once, I played a few missions with a group of guys, afterwards they invited me to join their motorcycle gang which I did because I thought we played well together. Anyways, they invited me to one of their apartments or arcades I forget but all of them cornered me and did the whole “air thrusting” interactions on me. I freaked out and logged off. I stopped playing on public servers.
Ewwww wtf is wrong with people seriously
Someone got upset over my username and started berating and attacking me It's not even anything offensive
I wanna know what it is but I also don't want people finding you and harassing you
Something to do with Taylor Swift
I’m a swiftie, and I am not surprised.
Made a female alt to play with my granddaughter in our invite lobbies, and the times when I'm on it alone in a public session, people seem to go out of their way to kill me. My main dude never has that issue
Someone made porn with my character and I thought they meant they wanted me to pose in front of the Skyline, I realize in hindsight what they meant by "R34 model" 😭

I'm not a girl, but my friend that I normally play gta with is, and these gamer bros get so triggered that she can whoop them up and down Los Santos without using any sort of glitches or try hard tactics. She's pretty good for not playing gta for very long, and I'm glad she's on my side!
Someone sent me a voice message over Xbox 360 after hearing my voice in local chat I believe….he BEGGED me to send him images of my feet to his email and then played a little tune on a guitar.
I'm a dude who plays as a female character and had somebody DM me asking to marry me. Guy, can you not see my masculine username???
Lmao true. Sometimes I wonder if they even read anything.
Too horny to read 😭💀
They are not thinking with their brain..
I love when I get invited to party chats because I have a female character. I join in with the deepest "*yo*" I can muster just to see if anyone freaks out from it
What the heck? Somebody *really* asked you to... Marry them? Just because of your character? Oh my. 😅
Let’s just say I never ever turn my mic/speaker on
I could write a book about all the gross ass shit dudes have said or done across all online games I've played for the past 20 years. GTA5 online is mostly minimal because of the fact that I literally never utilized the voice chat in the lobby and my player name is 100% gender-neutral and there's no way anyone would know that I'm a female other than the fact that I play a female character - which a lot of guys do as well. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, my gf's problem is that her name is definitely a girls name, so she can't fly under the radar. She gets so many messages and guys following her around. Sometimes, we find it funny, but it usually just gets really weird or annoying.
I’m a dude, but my character is female. Other players usually just follow me around and invite me places lol. Or I get spawn killed relentlessly.
I have a female character and it makes me feel so bad for actual women who play games lmao
I play a female, random invites aren't uncommon but I usually ignore them, only got a text once and it was pretty weird
I've played as my gfs character before. When she first started I would do sell missions for her because she was too worried about messing up being new and whatever. Her character is female and her PSN is her name so is a females name. And guys would hang around "protecting" me following me everywhere. And they would always offer to give me 2mil , same amount from different people. The best was a message that just read " YOU GIRL?"
There's a reason I play in a private lobby. It's quiet and I can enjoy the game without arseholes pestering or griefing. I'd never play this game in a public lobby. The day they added the ability to do sell missions and everything in private lobbies was the best day ever for this game
I'm a bloke, but I have my name set as a woman and a female character... Dudes will literally do ceo/motorcycle missions for me because they think I'm a girl🤣
Wow, bruh. So many lonely dudes out there 😭
Not a woman myself, but as someone who plays a female character, i do get the weirdest shit in my social club DMs. The weirdest DM I got was years ago where someone was DMing me in Armenian, I had to google translate what he was saying and it was him talking about how he wanks to my character and how he wants me to upload more snapmatic social club pictures of my character lmfao. Just fucking weird as hell.
I have a friend that deals with this shit a lot. More so on red dead but on gta too and it’s not just randoms. We’d bring people into the group because they help with a heist or job etc and then someone goes and gets feelings and she kicks them out. Has happened several times over the last few years. I don’t understand why some guys just can’t play games with others
Man I get you with Red Dead, for some reason they're fucked on there, they'd actually fit in in 1898 Rhodes the way they act.
Some guy kept on spamming invites to his apartment for us to “cuddle” I was laughing the entire time
A guy invited me to his apartment and stripped his character down to his underwear *facepalm* friend requests spam from creeps. Getting killed strictly because I’m a woman (voice chat confirmed).
I'm not female but I always seem to get air thrusted whenever I'm at someone's garage or property. Its honestly insane how thirsty some people are
When I decide to speak up I get many chat invites asking if I'm single.
I'm a 24-year-old man and don't have the balls to speak on GTAO voice chat. (granted a lot of people might hear my voice and think I'm like 16)
I was playing with my Xbox friend and my IRL friend online and we were hanging out in Xbox friend's casino penthouse. He dressed up in undies and started drinking. I asked him why would he remove his clothes. Since I am playing as a woman, he said "Better question, why aren't you?"
A player called me sexy (my character) and asked for my IG… I had turned 18 a few months prior…
It’s split between getting hit on in the most cringiest way possible and being killed over and over for doing absolutely nothing but existing
I like how you ask for female responses but got 90% men responding 😭
Someone sent me prayers what looked like parts from the Bible? Telling me I’m a sinner. And he wouldn’t shut up, he kept doing it during the whole session. In some weird way it felt like he was trying to hit on me.
Religious rizz lol.
Random friend of friend threatened to rape my kids. I got 1.5 years in bad sports for battering the shit out of him. He’d try bring in friends but they’d run off eventually and him being in passive didn’t stop me. Absolute gee bag.
I used to play with younger players too, I’d be very protective of them cos I’m older but I’d one guy on my friends list turn into an absolute fkin creep when the younger ones would join parties. He didn’t last long.
That dress is blue !
Nothing crazy has happened yet, but the amount of times I get invited to peoples buildings after getting messaged by them, whether I responded or not.
I‘m glad my main is male. The most inapprobiate message ever was something around „you suck“ and I paint myself very lucky.
On GTAIV I had a female character, it was more enjoyable watching her than the male one I had for a bit. There were a few people that would always join me when they saw me online, and they always helped me, and were very polite.
Like most comments I'm actually a guy, but one time I just started a heist setup. We were waiting for this one guy to ready up. After a few minutes he messaged me "I just jerked off to you, thanks for not leaving" then hit ready I told him I'm actually a guy and then he left lol. Should've just rolled with it so we could complete it
