Context: some schoolgirls are talking about a girl that is dating a boy that
killed someone when he was younger.

> ついてく男のせいでバカ見てるよね。自分から人生詰みに行ってるよね。 **ガチのM**? 夜はあの人殺しから攻められるプレイしてるとか

The only meaning of ガチ I could find was "serious, diligent", but I don't think
it fits the context. Judging from what the girl says (攻められるプレイ) and from
results in Google for ガチのM, I guess the M stands for masochism. Is this
correct? If yes, could you explain the meaning of ガチ and how it can be used to
form words? Thank you for your help!

Meaning of ガチのM
Yes this M stands for _masochist_. This initialism is very common in Japanese,
and people don't usually bother to say マゾ or マゾヒスト in conversations. In this
context M primarily means the girl is a type of person who willingly take
troubles and put herself in a hard situation. Of course the last sentence has
a sexual meaning.

ガチ is _genuine_ , _true_ , or _real_ rather than _diligent_. ガチ is from a
sumo-term ガチンコ, which is an antonym for 八百長. So "not a fake/mock" is the
original meaning of ガチ.
