Also, it's funny how they're like, man, this world is sexist. And I'm like, it's the guy DMing. Yeah, it's that guy. It's him. They're talking about it as if the fantasy world is like part of. It just be how it is. It's like, yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. How can we enact change in this fantasy world? Talk to Greg. Tell him to stop.

Greg is the one actively making these decisions every day. Oh, man. We talked a little more because I wasn't sure she was serious at first, but she was. And she didn't seem particularly upset or bent out of shape about it. As far as she was concerned, this is just how it goes. First, I felt immediately relieved. Like, I'm not crazy. It wasn't all in my head.

Like I said earlier, I didn't bring up sexism to her. She brought it up first. And it felt great to have my perceptions validated. But I've really been dwelling on it since then. Like, she was so matter-of-fact about it. It bothers me that it must happen all the time to women and I just don't notice it. I mean, obviously this is a really small sample size.

The DM whose NPCs act that way and the other guy players who don't notice it. And obviously I don't really understand what a woman goes through. I don't want to pretend like my little thing here is on the same level as what real women experience every day. It's really her reaction that stuck with me. The sort of welcome to the club vibe I got.

Honestly, if this is normal for women, I don't know how they deal with it. I find it low-grade infuriating, and I only have to deal with it every now and then in the fantasy world. I think this guy just became a feminist.

Think about how infuriating it is for all the women at the table for all the men to constantly not notice that it's happening until you have to pretend to be a woman for a little bit, and then you're like, something's not right. Yeah. And it's affecting me. Oh my God. There's one comment on it. That was it. There's no update. One comment that kind of represents all the comments in this.

Welcome to the club, it sucks, but of course, if you were to push back against all those little slights, you'd be painted as a huge bitch who gets offended at everything. It's exhausting to navigate, so you probably can see why a lot of women just deal with it. I don't think your male friends are sexist, but there's some sexist behaviors that are just so normalized that men don't think about it.

Hopefully you can take this experience and be a bit more mindful of your own interactions with women in the real world. That sums it up.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that's pretty good. D&D is cool in that it lets you get outside your perspective sometimes, but that is also a dangerous thing, as you can see with Dylan. Yeah. And birds. Dylan and birds.

Yeah, also... He hates you. Yeah. About every NPC, though. It'd be funny if he talked to her and he's like, does it feel like we get distracted? She's like, no, all of us are fine. He just hates you. Yeah.
