I'd suggest staying offline altogether lol. There is only one site I've seen to fit the bill in terms of being friendly and welcoming to everyone and thats Bell of Lost Souls. Some of the facebook groups re also pretty good. The Overlords is pretty good there.

Wow, you just recommended BoLS Trolls as a nice place?! I disagree. Dakkadakka certainly isn't the answer to the question either, but I like it that way.

I'd recommend the ICs forums. Kind people, more focus on narrative play, tends to be positive... #tuttletime

Kinda funny to hear someone on Dakka criticize BoLS for troll behavior... though I guess if you're referring to BoLS frontpage rather than the forums, it would make sense.

The BoLS forums are probably about as female friendly as you can get. Not only are a number of top posters openly female, but there are several running threads on feminism and lgbt issues in the off-topic. Granted, if you're a guy, and you say anything that could remotely be construed as theoretically possibly being sexist in some conceivable way, Eldargal will flame the gak out of you, but her ire is only directed at guys. Or white people, I guess, if it's about a race issue like Ferguson, but even then it's really only white guys... huh, I kinda do see what you mean about trolls .

I feel like if you spend time in any off-topic forum these days you're going to find the social justice trolls. Heck, they troll up General Discussion and Background any chance they get. Everything is a battle for those kinds of people though, and if they can't find one, they'll make one.

Such is the Interwebs though. I said this almost fifteen years ago, and it's even more true now than it was back then. The Internet has given any idiot a voice, and every idiot has chosen to use it.
