    I’m surprised that in vr games like vrchat where men pretending (not trans) to be women is common that real women are being harassed for being good at being who they are? it doesn’t make sense to have a culture of pretending to be a demographic while hurting people in that demographic.

      My personal view is that it’s a power thing: Men are establishing a hierarchy by being toxic towards women, irrespective of chosen avatars.
