Seriously. Nobody gave a fuck, you got insulted if you brought up your identity, because only a narcissist would bother to bring that up on the internet of all places.
"Tits or GTFO" existed because anyone who bothered to claim they were a woman or whatever must want unearned attention so pics or fuck off.
You disagree that "if you didn't pretend to be white and male, there was a constant stream of abuse" and your counterargument is....that anyone who claimed to be a woman would be subjected to sexual harassment?
It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it plays out.
You don't have to expect pics for someone asking for pictures of your tits to be harassment.
If I yell at a random woman "show me your tits" I do not expect her to do it, but I'm harassing her.
And no, I'm not missing the joke. I first was online in 1998. I saw this stuff in games and forums. It wasn't funny then either.
It's also not narcissistic to talk about things that are important to you or your characteristics. It can provide context and it can help people understand and make connections. Your argument is similar to other people who say "why does (Group) have to throw it in my face" regarding things such as holding hands in public - which isn't throwing anything in your face any more than what those people perceive as "normal" is being thrown on everyone around them involuntarily.
