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.
