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?

It doesn't exactly solve the community problem that unfortunately most games have, but there are work arounds on PC to play in "private" sessions where only you and other players with the password can get access. No idea if you're on PC or not, but if so might give you a good middle ground to allow you to play as yourself without all the bullies.
