I am a long time Mac user. In fact the last time I owned a PC was when I had to share it with my family when I was about 8, so about 16 years ago. At the time I discovered Runescape; being a lover of fantasy experiences and reading, it was amazing to me to play in a little world of made up things. That was also my first time experiencing online sexual harassment. I remember thinking, people can harass the pixelated avatar?
I probably felt wrong about it because I had invested a lot into those few pixels, a signifier of part of myself, really. That one incident really taught me a lot.
