When I talked about how it used to be hard to enjoy shows like this, part of that feeling was thinking women I know in real life will never treat me the same as ones that know me online. So my first girlfriend impacted this in a way Digit didn't, by actually meeting me in person, but she didn't see me the same after that so it didn't really help until later when I stopped caring if women treat me the same online as irl. Digit was vital to changing that because being friends with her online was so great it made it impossible to judge her for any differences there would be in real life.
