Sarah, The Bringer of Tea

This one started out jumping into an IRC channel and trolling. He got banned. A few hours later he returned in private message. I should warn you - the photograph linked to in the transcript contains a graphic depiction of vaginoplasty in progress. For that reason, I haven't enabled it as a link - you'll have to copy and paste if you want to see it.

Anyway, on with the fun.

Been a while since I had one of these. For those who don't know the drill, check out this tag.

Anyway, this one appeared in channel while I was watching a film. The film finished, he was still there, bothering people, who were pretending ignorance in the hope he'd go away. I indicated my presence and didn't immediately tell him to die a painful death. That seemed to be sufficient. The conversation started in the main channel:

Regular readers will remember the "Chattin' With a Chaser" series, of which there are currently four parts. I've just tagged them under "chaser chat" on both Dreamwidth and Livejournal, so they're easy to find. The way they work is I hang around on an IRC server, mostly to talk to various friends. One of the channels I sit in is a chat room for trans people. This sometimes attracts some people who seem to be not especially bright, and apparently believe everything they see in downloaded porn. As a result, they seem to think that popping up on a random IRC channel which may contain trans people and introducing themselves with, "hii r u shemale" (actual introduction from someone just yesterday) is going to yield some kind of productive result, rather than getting them a) kickbanned and b) mocked.

Anyway, today's didn't even bother with introductions in channel, he just looked at the list of names and started private messaging directly. This isn't officially part 5, because it never went far enough to get much comic material from, but I think it's worth posting here as an enlightening demonstration of what some horny young(?) men feel is an appropriate way to approach women in cyberspace. Remember, the log below is our entire interaction - I hadn't left any "bait" or anything to entice this guy to talk to me - I was sitting in the living room talking to the_local_echo when the iMac makes its "a new person has sent you a private message" noise. Here's what transpired:

[17:50] kneel: hi how are u [17:50] sarahlizzy: Hi. [17:50] sarahlizzy: I'm OK thanks. How are you? [17:51] kneel: i am a guy with a fetish for feet have u ever had your feet kissed [17:51] sarahlizzy: Not that I recall. [17:51] sarahlizzy: Have we met? [17:52] kneel: no first time here [17:52] sarahlizzy: OK. It just seemed like a bit of a strange opener, is all [17:53] kneel: do u wear heels and nylons [17:53] sarahlizzy: Rarely [17:54] kneel: what kind of shoes do u wear [17:54] sarahlizzy: Well, today I was wearing a pair of men's leather hiking shoes [17:54] sarahlizzy: What kind do you wear? [17:55] kneel disconnected from the server.

It's a shame he didn't stick around long enough to hear about how I'm prone to outbreaks of athlete's foot.

Long time readers will remember the drill here.( Cut for length and humour )

I frequent a few IRC channels. One is for transgender-related chat. Every so often the delightful specimen of humanity known as the "Tranny Chaser" pops up. The ones who come onto IRC channels are generally very easy to spot as they tend to be functionally illiterate, have no clue how to communicate with another human being (especially one they may stand a chance of being physically attracted to), and desperate.

These three observations may be related.

Anyway, tonight I just had a special one. Joins the channel and immediately sends a private message, apparently to everyone with a vaguely female-looking name. I decide to play along for a bit for the hell of it. Here is a screencap of what transpired (click to expand):



They all seem to be like this, more of less. What surprises me most is the apparent assumption that it's not immediately obvious to anyone with two neurons to rub together and start an idea what they want.

That, and the way they apparently completely fail to realise that such approaches are as likely to yield a positive result as casting a fishing line into a pool of molten lava, in the hope of catching a fish.
