Lying about your gender isn't a small thing, it can completely change the dynamic of a relationship, even when you're not romantically interested in the other person.I view it with the same lens as applying for a job under a fake gender or name to avoid discrimination but otherwise not lying about anything material. Essentially if you care so much a man's gender that it matters and is effective on you I can't feel sympathy for you in the same way I feel no sympathy for the publisher that was tricked into publishing a book written by the author of the wrong gender when they couldn't even tell the difference by the writing. If someone can just go onto the internet and just claim "I'm another gender than I am." but otherwise just act the same he always does and it matters to you then I have no sympathy. |

I mean, obviously it's immoral and unethical. However, if you're a 4 and she's a solid 8 and you genuinely believe that such a woman would look at you as a potential mate, then I really don't have any pity for such people. And then, we have people like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjmZdfJgqz0 Not sure if it's true love or pure desperation, or a sad mixture of the two. |

| Sure, lying is wrong. But it's not just black and white. Like, if I'm playing female character in online game and someone who I just met tries to hit on me I might play a bit with his misunderstanding. |
| They bring it on themselves but that doesn't make it okay. I think it's pretty harmless if you just want to create a character or facade when you're talking casually with someone but when you start deceiving them and finding out personal information about or forming a one sided relationship them while they really know nothing about you when they think they do it becomes an issue. |

AnimeFreak-San said: I thought catfishing was meeting up IRL with someone and finding out they used fake photos. If that's the definition then everyone on MAL is guilty of pretending to be anime girls. Kind of makes you wonder how much profile pics on here influence our perception of the person we're talking to. |
| Pretending to be another gender on the internet is more like trolling. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. That being said, I am not gender conformist myself so I don't necessarily mind. But personally I will always tell you straight up what my irl gender is. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| People misgender me all the time online, and I'm fine with that lol. At least this gets me away from all the creeps. I haven't had anyone creepily slide into my dms since. Plus, who cares what your gender is online. My gender is stated on my profile and if you're so unobservant or unwilling to get to know me to the point that you still don't know, then I guess I'd have to tell them... It's nice seeing people refer to me as the opposite gender sometimes anyway, gives a bit of leeway and definitely makes me feel safer and comfortable with myself; until they continue doing it. You're just gullible to not notice. Either that or you really are trying to hook up with a liar. I mean, that should be obvious to notice. Plus, I could state that I'm a guy, get surgery for genitalia, then would it be catfishing, or no? :thinking: |

Dumb people just need to stop being dumb, as blunt as that may sound. Say someone gets raped, I can just tell myself that "she probably deserved it", or that "she had it coming", which is a more pleasant thought than thinking about how the guy who raped her is subhuman scum, and how these scummy people walk among us and sometimes even get away with their actions, or how they could do it to someone you know. That would be a very unpleasant thought, lets not go there. Far better to focus on the woman, she deserved it, she really did have it coming, so that makes it better, we can feel a little vindicated there, knowing that bad things happen to people that deserve it. Except of course that's not how it works, it's just what we tell ourselves because we don't like the alternative. I would encourage you to think less about how the victims of reprehensible actions deserve what happened to them, and more about the people who commit said reprehensible actions. I know it's stressful, but it's really far better. I'm all for personal responsibility, and you're even correct in that many people really should know better. But try not to be so resentful. If there's one thing you don't need as a victim, it's people resenting you for making a mistake in addition to whatever already happened to you. |

moeanao said: It doesn't necessarily have to mean that they would trick you. It's very possible that they would be simply too shy/reserved to do that and/or you would be too unattractive and/or untrustworthy for them in any form for them to show you more private stuff.In this day and age it's easy to prove yourself to be real, so I really don't understand how you can ignore obvious red flags (like refusing to send certain pictures or video chat). Then you're just naive and dumb, honestly. But yeah, obviously it's wrong, especially if they use you for money and stuff like that. Also, video chatting requires at least a decent Internet connection and some people might not have a decent enough device for it. |
| long story pretty much:me and a bunch of other friends used to play factions in a Minecraft server,one of my friends decided to troll us not by acting like a girl but rather acting like a little kid,he acted like he had found our base while wandering around the world and we just accepted him into the group, this happened during summer vacation so he trolled us for 3 entire months,once we came back to school,on the first day he came to us and said that he was the little kid from the server. we got mad once we heard that but nowadays we just laugh every time he brings it up during a call |
| no description boi |
| I think it's wrong to use pictures of other people without their agreement but otherwise it seems like catfishing is just a way of coping with ones own self-hatred and body issues |
 |
| All of my most meaningful relationships started out online. Deceiving someone to manipulate their feelings, no matter the context, is wrong. |
Awoo :3 |
| i think so more to it its the creepiness of investing time into it pretending to be someone else |
| I would say yes, since you are intentionally deceiving someone for entirely selfish reasons. I would think that in the majority of cases, catfishes are either looking to get some sort of weird kick out of it or to scam somebody. Both of which result in a massive and entirely needless blow to the victim's dignity when they inevitably find out. If it were also part of a scam and they fell for it, it's even worse. It's just cruel and a form of online bullying at best. Even the more 'well meaning' catfishes, that is people with low self-esteem issues that aren't ready to reveal their 'true self' to somebody they are interested in, are really no better. They know they are stringing somebody along, but they don't care or, at least, they don't care enough to consider the other person's feelings. I'm certainly not the most confident of people, but I would never lie about myself... I just hide it behind humour! I honestly don't see how you could do it without being both incredibly selfish and having some sort of malicious, hidden motive. I think it's very wrong. |

Ofc unless you're okay with both ways in case I send my regards to those catfishers. Internet is a big place and all...there a some who gives no fucks about the internet friends and do it just to have fun but for those who actually care about...does it feel like you got dumped? Now I wait for those traps to show up...preparing their "guns" and pew pew on this topic. This is our context, and from this it should be patently obvious what sort of catfishing we're talking about Now you can go ahead and make arguments that don't apply to the subject in question at all while pretending that they do, but you shouldn't be surprised if people quickly come to the conclusion that you're a dumbass and then start ignoring your posts. Which I think I'll do now. Have a good one m8. |

Lost_Viking said: People who fall for catfish scams are gullible idiots. I don't necessarily "agree" with catfishing but people dumb enough to fall for it deserve to have their "online feelings" hurt. There used to be a time where people were more careful with what personal info they put online, that time needs to come back. I would agree with the fact that you'd have to be on another level of stupid to fall for one of these scams. But I do feel bad still for people who fall for them. They probably know that it's a scam but are in denial thanks to desperation. |

| I don't even understand why this needs to be asked. I have huge hate towards the idea that you can just pretend to be anything online to gain something and maybe break someone's trust when it gets revealed. I just cannot see why not be sincere and yourself on here too, lying about gender or looks is just something I'll never understand. If you get close to someone or even decide to meet they'll find out the truth anyway. So there's no real point trying to get close to someone with lies cos at a certain point you'll end up so close the truth just will come out so... why bother. If someone doesn't like the way you are then just fucking move on and find the people who like the genuine you. Lying will only get you _so_ far. And end up causing stress and trust issues to people you interact with. I personally thought no one would ever be able to fool me online cos I thought I was smart but oh well. We live and learn. Nowadays I trust no one. Interacting with someone daily for years does not mean you know that person no matter how much it feels like it. |

Currently catfishing is not illegal but elements of the activity could be covered by different parts of the law. If a victim hands over money, the "catfish" could be prosecuted for fraud. Someone using a fake profile to post offensive messages or doctored images designed to humiliate could also face criminal action. |

| Yes, it’s VERY bad. Especially when I’m trying to start a serious friendship with someone; since friendship is basically built on trust. If you betray that trust, then I can’t really be friends with you. |

There used to be a time where people were more careful with what personal info they put online, that time needs to come back. I'm an 18 year old blonde attractive female from the UK. Want to have cyber sex with me? I have big boobs and a really fat ass. |
