Wasn’t this a subplot in persona 3?

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 1 points 40 minutes ago

Kinda. The woman you're helping is your teacher who has a crush on you and an alcohol problem.

"She" was a 48-year-old Midwestern man who still appreciates those tender words that so touched his soul all those years ago, B1gD0ngHaver13. We'll always have those nights in Elwynn Forest. 🤎

WoW was a magically place. I played with a random dude for 1-2 months leveling up my 1st char, and when we tried the new voice chat i figure out he was a 38 years old man with a deep bass voice (i was 18).

Some time after in a dungeon run with random people, in voice chat popped a kid with a voice so soft... i thought that was a girl, but no he was a 13 year old boy. I was like what is happening in this game?

getting groomed but at the same time she gave you a rune plate so its worth

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Idk getting sick armor and my dick sucked sounds pretty fair to me....

I shit you not, this happened to me with old school RuneScape.

I found myself in this same situation as a teenager with no social experience in my first months on AOL.

I mean, I went on to continue to operate and run relationship advice forums and learned a lot about psychology and emotional intelligence and have been thanked by a lot of people for using those tools to provide perspectives to people struggling in their personal lives.

But still, it's pretty wild that in the last three decades or so we're still treating everyone as the same faceless entity on the internet, for better or worse. (Usually worse. You need to start assuming anyone you talk to online is like, 12, because most of them are.)

When i was like 14, my best friend was an ex-veteran who moved from America to Germany because of PTSD and hate towards America.

[–] Guitarfun@lemmy.world 31 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Me too, but in Diablo 2. Nothing sexual happened or anything. She lived in California and I lived much further north, but it's kind of funny/scary that this is a common a occurrence with divorced women and underage boys.

[–] io@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

they were probably just talking aboit their lives with whoever they met in the game which statistically would be likely to be that demographic

[–] Guitarfun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No it definitely got weird. At least in my case. We talked on the phone a lot and she asked me multiple times to fly out to California to meet her. She even ended up talking to my mom on the phone. I'll just say my parents aren't good parents or even good people, but whatever small amount of concern my mom had was gone after that. I was in middle school so there wasn't any way I could have flown out to meet her so maybe that's why my parents stopped caring. Regardless, the woman eventually lost interest. At the time I didn't even realize how weird it was.

The scarier part to me I think is that you absolutely could have. My cousin was in middle school in the 90’s, he graduated high school in 2001 at 18 for context. My aunt and uncle were divorced and would drop him off at the airport to fly to each other on the other side of the country. He was like six or seven when they started and it went on for a decade until his dad moved back close to graduation.

Dude was playing old school runescape, helped a chick through a divorce.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 27 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Was around 13 at the time...or so I've heard.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 21 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Her though? I hear she was closer to 27.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 10 points 16 hours ago

They didn't sex but it was close

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 137 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

A kind voice and a willing ear are always helpful. And it makes you a better person to recognize the pain of another when you're a teen.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 58 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, thank you for making memories of me doing this slightly less cringy.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 9 points 8 hours ago

Cringe is just embarrassment leaving the body.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 38 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Impressive beard for a 13-year old.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 22 hours ago

I remember doing this with a firefighter. Whoever he was, I remember his pain in chicago, even if I couldn't really understand it.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 24 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Humans are social creatures and socializing goes a long way with dealing with this experience we call life.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

We will still be traumatized by life long after we die

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

I don't really think there's more after life.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Upon closer inspection, now it looks like the guy from the TIL youtube channel. Given my skillz, probably not him but im reasonably confident in saying theyre close probably

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

No idea what he looks like, so I'll just assume you're right 👍

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Thats a bold assumption to make knowing i suck at this lol

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

Hmmmmmm.... could be the same guy

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 8 points 18 hours ago

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 23 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You can be whatever age you want online.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 10 hours ago

Oh I get it - this is the 27 year old woman being helped through the divorce. She is not very good yet at remembering to shave 🪒😅.
