A way to make people we dislike invisible whilst we play

[Miste]

I've never been hit on by anyone in a video game, even if I do roll a female. My FC doesn't even give a f- that I'm a woman irl as well... Maybe I've just been lucky

Lucky I would guess. I have had some really weird/nasty/uncalled for advances from other players during my years of MMO gaming on many different games. On FFXI for example it was pretty constant as I played a Mithra since I love cats and it was quite bad since I was a minor at the time and only in my early teens and sometimes learning the players harassing me claimed to be anywhere from 20-35 years old. Quite nasty.

On FFXIV it doesn't seem as often, though I do play with my boyfriend and he has the same last name as my character, so it might be a deterrent to some because they figure I am already taken/in a relationship. In FFXIV I only have a few instances in all 3 years of players asking me weird questions or being sexual towards me so in my case it seems to not happen as much anymore. I have joined random groups for hard content like EX primals or savage raids and used voice chat and everything and everyone has treated me like a normal teammate and they don't say or do anything inappropriate even after hearing my voice and confirming I am female.

So I am unsure of others experiences but in my experience FFXIV community seems to be a lot better off than some other online communities I've been a part of.
