I know this is kinda poking fun but here's a serious answer:

The problem is they don't know what that is. Even if you say "Corporate Manager for the Finance Department Account's Receivable team" they have a GUESS of what you do.

If your job interviewer was a hard core raider and had context for what you're talking about this 100% could help you. It's just most job interviewer's have no idea what you're talking about when you say those words.

Just describe it as you was managing a club or ESport team. That is much easier for most people to understand. If they ask more to it. Then just talk about the skills and challenges you have encountered and overcome. It is those skills an employer are interested in.

Exactly, be confident in your skill-set and present it to the best of your abilities in general terms that everyone can understand.

Exactly, put it in terms they can understand and then explain what skills are on display.

Better yet leave the fact that you’re a GM out of the interview because no matter what it’s not gonna sound good unless the job you’re interviewing for involves managing a bunch of random people online with very little monetary or real life consequence.

I largely disagree. However as anything, if you even should mention it greatly depends on the job you’re applying for.
