Yes, but weirdly, none of us play MMOs.

I know a few who play as male characters to avoid attention.

I would play as male characters and then dye their armor pink and flirt relentlessly with the boys. It was fun, especially when you’d get on teamspeak with them after playing together for weeks and they’d be like “wait you’re a girl?”

Oh, I know. I've met a lot of women who do, it was more tongue-in-cheek at the old "Many Men Online Roleplaying Girls".

I know at least two who are in my coven / crew who play MMOs.

I don't like MMOs myself, but I'm way neurodivergent and do a lot of single-player and small-group co-op.

I think I steered away from pub games around the rise of gamergate and the alt-right. Folks got scary.
