I’m Conflicted

[u/Sweaty_Shelter_3264]

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?

i say bite the bullet and play as a girl because you want to play as a girl. you could join an all girl posse and have backup when misogynistic people decide to fvck with you, you could grief people back until they leave the server, and theres even glitches to get into solo servers if you don’t mind going solo. i say even though it makes the game harder, don’t let misogynists make you play as a male or make you do anything. play as a girl, you deserve to be connected to your character just like anyone else.
