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.
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.
I have thought about this reply for about 9 hours and still cannot connect it to my comment, unless of course you left out one word:
If this is what you meant, then yes, I wholeheartedly agree and support your friend. Just trying to cancel their service alone was traumatizing.
Well, his hate wasnt online, but our friendship was 🤷♂️ through WoW
What’s wild is that people don’t realize that many posts/opinions online are propaganda in disguise.
