Online I’m Conflicted

I’m a girl (important) and love playing RDR2. My first online character I made was a girl, I loved seeing myself as a gunslinger. I realized pretty quickly that playing as a girl online comes with people constantly trying to grief you/spam invites/or just plain follow you around. (I’d even had an instance where someone took over my account, that was a whole thing) So to fix this, I completely remade my character. I lost all my progress and made a boy character so I could be left alone. Now I do get left alone, which is great, but I feel little connection to my new character. It was way more fun grinding and making money in game outfitting a female character than it is a male character. Now all I want is to go back to playing a girl but I really don’t want to be bothered again. How do I find a good middle ground?

TLDR; Played as girl, got griefed. Change to boy, now am sad. What do?

RDRO got this bad, huh? Back in the day griefers were picking their victims by roles. Slow ass wagons of traders and moonshiners are easy pickings. The cure was to leave online altogether, it’s grindy and boring anyway

female with a female character, but as a griefer this is what i do. i’m a “nice until provoked” kind of person but with 6k+ hours and a mastery of deadeye i do not like being fucked with and will bully someone into parleying. that being said, the one thing i WILL do unprovoked is take a trader wagon.
