re: even creepier DMs
Now remembering another very creepy DM I got from some dude who was definitely an r/niceguy. He sent me a DM starting off with "hey there sweetie!" and said that he saw me on a forum and sought me out, and wanted to do a commission of my character. I told him I have no money, but then he insisted on instead talking, getting to know me, and roleplaying.
I told him he was making me uncomfortable because of what he was asking and because he, by his own admission, decided it would be a good idea to track down a stranger and ask them to pay him to make art.
He then said that he does this on a regular basis, and said "If that makes you uncomfortable, I can't really help you"
So yeah, mega creepy >,<
