I'm new to the boards as a poster but I've been lurking for a while
RKORadio said:I'm a girl though I often go as a boy online
RKORadio said:Sorry
I didn't mean to upset anyone
RKORadio said:I go as a boy sometimes so i can avoid the negative things that can happen online - there are reasons that girls choose gender neutral names online and don't go to Local Area Network gaming nights.
I figured an Indy board wouldn't have those problems.
RKORadio said:Other places online have some pretty nasty people. People somehow think its OK to unleash their inner misogynist online. When I've used a female screen name online, I've been bombarded with r*pe threats and worse. In multiplayer games, I've had male players gang up to kill my game character - even if it hurts their chances of winning the game we're playing.

I'm thinking some people on here seem to be shocked that racism could still exist. It's depressing to me as I strongly support social justice.
I hope you're not referring to me, because I think racism and descrimination will always be with us.RKORadio said:I'm thinking some people on here seem to be shocked that racism could still exist. It's depressing to me as I strongly support social justice.
