So awhile back I used to blog about anime. It was fun and I had a good time, but then people started doubting my gender or -- even worse -- started flirting with me. I've since pretty much abandoned my blog.

So why do people do this? I rarely see boys being hit on in the anime community, but I get hit on constantly. It's quite annoying, to be frank. I just want to have fun and contribute to the community without my being objectified.

If you need examples, take this one boy who constantly hits on me. I've also abandoned my twitter because of him and others. He's said things to me like "Are we soulmates?" after I said I was coincidentally listening to the same ED as him. This sounds like a joke and I'd normally treat it as such, but he is always flirting with me. The comment I received from him that bothered me the most is one about me being a "good little sis (he used the term Umaru because I had recently cosplayed UMR) and not leaving the house."

He's not the only one who does this. I'm not asking for it, either. If I was I'd be ecstatic boys were doing this.

So yeah. Boys, why do you some of you do this? Girls, does this happen to you too? And everyone, why is this treated as normal?

Wait, so if people are flirting with you they treat you like an object? O_O

This is another topic that actually has nothing to do with anime fans, guys always HAVE to hit on girls to get into a relationship. This is why you get hit on but nobody hits on guys blogging.

These replies are incredible. I'm going to cry myself to sleep now, especially after the picture comment. Wow. What a time.

And yes, they do treat me and other girls I know like objects or toys they can use at their leisure. I try to stop them. We all try to stop them. Yet... it doesn't work! And I'm talking about anime fans specifically in this case because most other people don't use the terms imouto or moe or loli. And he's at least 22, if I remember correctly.

I've had people send me pictures of a snake inside a dick hole.

I've had people literally tell me they've had a crush on me.

I've had youtube video love letters made for me.

There are people that find you attractive and want to be in a relationship with you?

Oh god the horror. What a terrible predicament you've found yourself in. I can't imagine how it would feel to actually be desirable to another human being.

Have you tried telling them to fuck off? Or that you have a bf? This really seems like a problem you're creating for yourself.

Not sure what you were expecting. Sure, the picture comment is rude, but I don't really think your problem has anything to do with objectification. People hit on people. You shouldn't take it seriously, especially on the net where people can't see you and have no idea what your real gender is.

Dunno why some girls need to cry about patriarchy every time someone hits on them. When someone I don't lov/want to have sex with hits on me I'm just pleased and say no, wtf is that weird mentality? Did you even told him to stop before deciding "lol all men are pigs"?

So you're actually rather asking why there are assholes on the internet? That's even more general than what I actually though you're saying. Everyone who has a blog or makes YouTube videos or whatever gets insulted and trolled. If a blogger is fat they'll make fun of him for being overweight, if a blogger is female they'll hit on her with disgusting words.

I don't think flirting is equal to objectifying, maybe you didn't manage to express yourself fully in the post.

However I understand they are very annoying and should stop, at least if you say them you are not interested or something like that.

Why would anyone perceive positive attention and treatment as something negative? Just stop giving a shit and ignore it or figure out how to respond to it instead of running away unnecessarily. You can't live your life in constant fear of something so petty or you will never live a life and just isolate yourself away from all humanity. It's not like they were being really creepy or making threats, they were just lame and desperate and annoyed you. A lot of these sites you can just block people and they wont even bother contacting you other ways. Some people actually mean what they say and some just use really empty lines they copy and paste then distribute all over to just about everyone hoping it would gt someone naive enough to fall for it so they can get some nudes or something in person. Not every act of affection is a threat, relax.

I have guys and girls flirting with and hitting on me here and I don't mind. I like the attention even if it gets a little awkward sometimes. If I feel uncomfortable I just tell them or dont respond.

Okay, what I've gathered here is "boys will be boys" and "internet people will be internet people." Fair enough. The prime example is right here before my eyes. I'm ugly? I'm a guy? Maybe. Exhibit A, though. We're all lying. Does this mean you are all pretty girls?

I would continue, but I feel like we're going in circles. Also I'm wondering why this is so normal. But hey, patriarchy. Now I'm being considered a feminist. Tragic.

Thank you all for your input so far, though! It's actually kinda interesting. Different POVs and all that. Things have kinda been clarified.

well only three comments and we have already found out what your real problem is:

get a thicker skin and ignore people. don't link your social media accounts and your blogs. how hard can it be to ignore privat messages?


also i have never seen your face. you must have very low self esteem to be triggered by a comment like that

I don't see the relationship you made between Flirting and Objectifying.

I feel like Objectifying is a catch-phrase being thrown around way too much.

Boys flirt because... they want to be with a female. Pretty normal. Though if you don't like it.... tough luck. It's gonna happen. You can ignore them, block them, tell them off.

This has happened to me but I don't really care about it.

It's the internet, I can never take anything people here say 100% seriously... especially not comments and people like that. People always say/do things like that because they know they can can away with it without any real consequences so it's better to just ignore them or take them in stride and humor them if you want. But I most definitely won't (and don't) stop doing what I like doing just because of such things either. They're all strangers in the end who don't really have any real effect on my real life.

Whenever people do this to me irl it's more bothersome, but even then I can ignore them as well. Although it's annoying sometimes, they're still all talk so I just try to take it positively and think "well, they're hitting on me for a reason" and leave it at that. It's when they start to actually do something malicious about it (like following you―this happened to me before―or touching you, or other physical forms of aggression like that) is when you really need to start worrying.

Well... I could go with the classic "most people on the internet are just shut-ins and the only way they can get a girl is through the internet" sentence, but it's a bit mean and hypocritical.
Though there's nothing wrong in looking for a partner, and if you're on the same blog, that already gives you something in common, so it's actually a good place to look.

I think the main thing to keep in mind is that most anime related thing, guys will constitute the main demographic, I think on mal it's something like 60%-40%, so it's normal that you often see that type of shit happening to girls, not to mention that it seems to be a general agreement that guys have to make the move, so if you don't move, you'll stay alone. But if you go on a youtube channel of a handsome dude doing some more girls oriented stuff, you'll find as much teenage girls lusting over his 2 days beard as you'll find teenage boys lusting over a female video-games streamer's boobs.

No one does anything about it because there really isn't any point in being an annoying sjw, it's not like those guys will listen to some person on the internet, the main thing to do is ignore it. Still, if someone is being really rude or something, people will step up, I've done it and I've seen it being done, but most of the time, don't bother, it's pointless.

I don't know why people do it tbh, I mean, I've seen people having good interactions online which lead them to exchange mobile numbers to maybe meet each other, but just hitting on a random female profile is weird, as far as I'm concerned, you might just be a guy. Not that it bothers me, I don't really see why people's gender should impact their interactions online.

One thing you could try to do is put a disclaimer on your profile stating that any comment of the sort will be deleted and abide by that rule. For example, I don't know how Twitter works, but I'm sure there are ways to block people, so you could have blocked that dude.
If it still really bothers you, tell a mod, they might just do something about it if the guy is really that bad.

I got into an argument with a friend in music school once, she was mad because some guy told her she had sexy legs. I took a look, and told her "yeah he's right". Oh boy, I thought I was going to die. A bunch of female vegan singers jumped on me and started calling me names lol.

This is very good advice. No sarcasm here (I mean it). I have thin skin and I was thinking about the whole thing. I must've thought too hard though. I will try to develop thicker skin. This was a learning experience for sure.

I hope you learned your lesson. Never compliment a girl, show no interest in them and wait for them to come to you. In anime it works all the time so that must work irl too, right?

Me I have had a nice number of stuff happen to me before..
I used to be in a anime Gaming clan and the clan commander had some kind of crush on me or some shit.. it got to the point he stalk me in online games I play if he had the game or send me tons of PM's and stuff, even if we was on some chat thing like Teamspeak he would kick people out of the channel so it's just me and him.
This guy started to creep me the fuck out!
Then he say stuff over teamspeak or send me a PM in games saying stuff.
It got to the point that I stop getting on the Anime clans Teamspeak, left the clan and stop playing most of my Online games for a long time.. just to get away from him.

That is just one out of a few..

However it's the internet, like I learn on team speaks with voice chat..
The very moment one is in a room or channel and there is a ton of guys and you are a female who says something.. it's like every male will stop what they are doing and say some shit like: Is that a Female? Oh my god it's a Female! Hey sexy what brings you here? How are you today cutie? It's like WHAT THE FLYING FUCK! I just join to play my game with friends and talk to them!

Me I got to the point that I just be if they ask Are you a Female?
Me: Yes I am and motherfucker don't you dare start with that oh my god it's a female shit! I get sick and fucking tired of it! I'm here to talk and play a game just like you, so we going to leave it at that and enjoy the fucking game! Is that a problem that I'm a female?

9 times out of 10 that will make any man shut the fuck up! XD


Even can work on PM's over a online game as well.

From so and so: Are you a Female?
Me: Yes however What the fuck does that matter? Is that a problem?
I'm here to enjoy the game I'm playing, just like you are, Not have men hit on me..
If you are going to do that you can kindly leave me alone or be blocked!

Again 9 times out 10 it works. XD

Really over time it just gets to a point you kind of stop giving a shit and call them out before they even get the chance to act. lol

No problem, Though I don't know why people are being so damn salty on this thread, it does seem like a legit problem and I don't think you can blame some people just for being more sensitive than others.
The main thing I'd tell you to keep in mind is to still know how to take a compliment, some girls get so pissed about getting hit on all the time that they do a full 180 and just shit on everyone who addresses them, and it's pretty annoying to get flamed just cause you told someone that they looked nice, so yeah... when you get a rude comment just slap them and send them to school, but don't go around being rude yourself because that makes you a hypocrite.
Just listen to this guy, he knows what's up:

That's just mean tbh. Some people just want some kind of hindsight as to who they're talking to, and you can't really blame them for that.
Being a bitch about the guy's comment even thought he hasn't even started being annoying isn't a nice thing imo.

Understanding the psychology behind people's actions helps one self not feel as upset or threatened by them and it also makes it more predictable. It is better to start with thinking of them as people before you think of them as males because a lot of things out there are not limited to a single demographic. Girls hit on random guys online just the same as guys hit on girls, or girls on girls and guys on guys. Not that they all do that but some do.

If you are not attracted to someone it does not make them any worse of a person or make their actions any worse than if you are attracted to them.

That's kinda sad. Not everyone in the internet is an asshole. It just happens that the assholes are the most vocal ones.


There are already enough assholes on the internet, hell I'm not really that nice of a person myself, so don't be one of them, it's pointless.



I'm not trying to be an asshole. Where'd you get that idea? I act the same way online the same way I do irl so I generally try to be nice or at least neutral.

That's just mean tbh. Some people just want some kind of hindsight as to who they're talking to, and you can't really blame them for that.
Being a bitch about the guy's comment even thought he hasn't even started being annoying isn't a nice thing imo.


It can be but you have to take the ups and downs here and there really..
Seeing how most of the time it's the whole Wow you are female path that leads to the path of them hitting on you.. Yeah I go the bitch path but it works...

If after that the man still wants to talk being that 1 out of 10 most of the time we end up being friends. it also depends on just how the man will be talking over voice or PM... Over voice it's more easy to get the point done then and there. XD
Over PM most of the time ones will be talking to that person for a bit of time before it comes to that..meaning in that bit of time one can make a good call as to if they are really being friendly and nice or if they just trying stuff.


Like the Gaming clan i'm in now in days.. the moment that happen and I gone off! XD
It just got funny from there, they was like.. Damn she is going to fit in well and have claws too so don't piss her off! lol
Now the moment I get online I am treated like everybody other and I like that.
I log on and jump into a channel, it's just a simple Hi Musashi how was your day?
Me: It was good.
One of them: That's good to hear, what game you going to play?
I pick a game and play it and the day carry's on. ^_^

Lol, sorry if the thing was confusing man :] I wasn't calling you an asshole, I was merely quoting your post in a statement directed to someone else so I get that it might have confused you, but if you reread my post, above your quote I wrote "Just listen to this guy, he knows what's up" before referencing to you, the statement after the quote is me enhancing your statement.
Hope I cleared things out.

As has already been stated, you need to develop a thicker skin. It's as blunt, but as simple as that. People are always more prone to being assholes on the internet because of anonymity, heck, even I'm pretty nasty online, mostly because I've just grown tired of everyone's bullshit, especially on these forums.

It really is just a simple case of ignoring these people though, or telling them you're not interested, either politely, or explicitly telling them to go fuck themselves; your choice.

Well you do have a bf who has openly gone around pressuring for pictures of girls feet here and asking about feet so someone would notice then think "she must have nice feet".
