Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

    I have a small tight group of guys and gals I occasionally play online games with and I seldom play games where I’m matched up with strangers. It’s not worth it.

    As soon as they hear you are a chick… Most usually start with the low hanging fruit “You fat and ugly”

    Although one time some guy kept saying I was probably old. Like 40. With 2 kids. I thought that was slightly more creative. But still basic.

    I am 40 actually. But I don’t have kids and told him No crotch goblins for me. They might end up like him.

    Then told him I could tell he was nervous cause his voice was shakey. Asked him if this was his first time talking to a female.

    Then I blocked him and left the game so he couldnt do any come back.
