"Jared Rosen plays online as a black woman. (“I didn’t want to be another white cowboy,” he says.) Players will often try to hogtie him while screaming racial slurs, he says. “Posses comprising of men and also myself will spontaneously disband or kick me, then follow me around trying to shoot me repeatedly.” It got bad enough that Rosen says he now walks around with a sawed-off shotgun, so he can dispose of assholes more quickly. He also spent in-game money to make his guns look as menacing as possible to deter players from picking fights with him, though it doesn’t always work. Once you make a character for Online, you can’t change their appearance unless you make an entirely new character.
What Rosen described to The Verge may seem like typical Red Dead Online behavior — outlaws being outlaws — but he swears that players often take stock of what his character looks like before they decide to attack him, rather than just attacking him no matter what."

Soyboy has never played online before I see. Greifing is the internets way of saying hello, man up or gtfo.
