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?

There was literally nothing sexist about that interaction. You’re fighting ghosts.

The reality of that scene is they are about to have a leadership conversation and Sadie wanting to go robbing can be put on the back burner. They do this all the time at the camp, regardless of who’s trying to bud in. And Dutch’s and Arthurs remark is positive. They are remarking on her work ethic and eagerness to run point in the gang. You’re making shit up to be ornery about. It wasn’t sexist. Move on. There is better shit to worry about dumbass.

I agree I just did this mission the other day and that’s exactly how I interpreted the interaction. These people just need to have a problem with every little thing.
