So, I was playing around with some voice changer software I found made by "screaming bee". The trial amazed me so much I bought it.
Honestly? I bought it with awesome prank calls and trolling people online in mind. I'm mature like that.
But then it occurred to me what an opportunity I had. I could actually find out how differently I'm treated under different personas, thus gaining some kind of insight.

My first experiment was on a well known game, Left4Dead 2. I've said and done some stupid things on this game in the past when I had only just begun playing it. The response was always hostile or sarcastic.
I did the same things on purpose... in a rather attractive womans voice. I even gave my mic an annoying buzzing sound for the first five minutes until someone asked ever so politely if I would correct it. The result was that it actually seemed to endear me to people as opposed to annoying them. Someone even added me as a friend afterwards. In some games I was sarcastic, others noobish, others I was just rude. Never a hostile response. Never.

I'm open to suggestions for the next experiment. I'm thinking a chatroom. After I'm done seeing how the internet is from a womans point of view I think I'll see how things look from a childs perspective.
If I'm found dead in a back alley with a candy cane up my ass let Michael McIntyre know I always hated him.

Wait, what? Not a single "tits or GTFO"?

Impossibru!

Not one.
I wonder how people would react to the posh old woman voice.
Seriously, its utterly convincing. I mean theres some shit ones too but a hell of alot of good ones.

Tits = respect.

Note. Not manboobs = respect.

I must not sound like a woman on Xbox Live, lol. Or maybe I talk too much shit to be "endearing".

You sound the same. Are you sure it's working?

My suggestion is to set it so you sound like you're about 11 years old and try cussing like a sailor, see what happens.

To be honest I had alot of fun with the kids voice when I was testing it out.
I kept screaming "Daddy! No!" and "Oh fuck! Its MJ! Get child line!" The playback made me crackup.
But yeah, I'm definitely planning on doing that.

What kind of stuff do you say?
Because I was saying stuff like; "Get the fuck out of my way you special needs hamster."

Do I need to up the ante?

Speaking as someone without manboobs I can testify to the second part being bollocks.

Change your AF.org avatar to a woman and let's see what happens.

On the condition you change back to bare headed Piccard, sure.

Manboobs = bollocks? One of has either been spending too much time on the internet, or not enough.
