Female gamers of Reddit,What are your awkward experiences during online gaming?

The only one that really sticks out was back during WotLK WoW days. I had talked to this guy for a few months after being in a couple dungeons back to back with him and everything was cool.

I was on some heavy meds at the time for pain from a surgery I had so due to that and it being a while ago a lot of this is fuzzy but I remember it first started getting weird when he called me his girlfriend in a pug. Then he started making sexual comments to me in whispers. I would just laugh them off cause I really didn't know how to respond to them. Nobody had ever done anything like that to me before. Finally he asked me to send him a picture of my boobs. I laughed and told him no. He didn't get overly hostile or anything but he would ask me for pics every single time we talked. It was pathetic and really sucked cause I had enjoyed having him as a friend until this started.

Then he suddenly stopped logging on a couple weeks later. He had friended me on facebook back when everything was normal and friendly between us and he posted something about having just gotten married. His new wife commented on it.

There had never been ANY mention of a girlfriend or fiance at all anywhere up until that point. If there had been I would have let her know what was going on. I debated messaging her and letting her know what he had been up to but in the end I just let it be. They were already married so what was the point.

I kept him on my facebook for awhile and they started having marriage problems a couple months later. Then he turned into a crazy christian in order to "work on himself". Don't know if he deleted me or his facebook entirely but I never heard from him again.

I met my best friend of seven years during one of the pugs with him and my now boyfriend through her so it ended up working out alright for me though. 10/10 would not show boobs to weird guy on internet again.

Other than that guy there were a couple stalkers and weirdos and one guy who whispered my raid leader saying that I was "the best female hunter he had ever played with" but that's about it. The whole "OMG A GIRL?????" mentality on our server wasn't really there like on other servers. I never got offered free stuff or gold for being a girl. Not that I would have taken it mind you. I just wanted the space on my female gamer bingo card.
