People in online games are dumb as hell and this happens in pretty much every game with a raiding aspect to it. This happened with my circle of friends, two of my friends were a married couple and people would actively hit on the wife and do everything they could to edge out her husband completely ignoring the fact that he was usually the raid's tank and she was usually healer so if they pissed them off the raid would wind up going nowhere. Hell, I used to have a feminine character in WoW and would have people unironically hit on me constantly until I started using my mic to prove I was a dude. Suddenly my raid invites dried up real fast. It's ridiculous both ways, that female characters and women gamers get special treatment, and that they get harassment solely for their gender because other players are immature and don't realize that desperately trying to impress someone with your mad gaming skills and horrible pickup lines you heard on TV won't get you anywhere with anyone.
