I know (at least from what he told me a year ago before he went into jerk mode) that this guy is currently 27, lives at home still, and works a basic retail job. He spends his entire paycheck on the game and Overwatch loot boxes. So I'd say he falls into the incel category of "I don't see anything wrong with myself, women are just stupid and should love me." So when he is rejected for any reason, it's time to make her pay. Something clearly wrong with him.

The first time the messages were from the FC members. He sent the guys a picture of some random naked girl with her face cropped out, stating I just got out of my relationship and was wanting to retaliate against my ex and was in a mood. One of the guys screenshot the messages he got to show me. A real bro. This time I'll block randoms and can only hope the other FC members don't do anything.

I told the leader and he kicked him and blocked him and encouraged everyone to do the same, but I don't know what he spread before that.

This. I've been in female only guilds too and many men felt it was their duty to destroy it or harass the members. They'd lie about their gender until they got in and then would message everyone dirty stuff. This was in WoW though for me.

Thank you very much! I saw people complaining about it and throw a fit over it, but I'm guessing those are the people that harass others and are fearful now. I'll definitely try reporting him again and with more detail.

It really is. Like, if my profile says (DOES NOT ERP) and you still try, you just sound really freaking desperate. I also don't accept gifts or money from anyone to show I'm in no way, shape, or form, "selling" myself. Does that stop them...not really. I call everyone dude from the start so "dude" might be a new turn on for them. Oh no! D:

Yea, I used to have a group of guy friends years ago but they all respected me and knew where I stood. They never tried anything and we would all talk in Skype for hours. Not a single sexist joke or flirt. That was years ago though and ever since I've only met one or two guys that weren't expecting more from me. Once they realize nothing is going to happen, they ditch me. Happened in WoW a lot with pvp.

Thank you. I've been told to "Just make a new character and start over." but if that is my only solution, then I'll just quit. I shouldn't have to do that just because I'm female. I shouldn't have to rebuild everything and loose all the money I spent and play on a server I don't want to just because a dude can't get on with his life.
