[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 7726831, member: 9213"] I'm starting to find out about several names in the gaming community who are serial harassers and even one that physically assaulted someone at a company based con this past year. I've since stopped any and all purchases and kickstarters from that guy's publishing company. I was a big fan of his publishing company having funded a few kickstarters and purchased some pretty expensive books from them in the stores. I'm looking at possibly not purchasing from another publisher for the way that they've handled (or not handled) some harrassment complaints at thier con. I'm not a woman. I dont have to be to find harassment wrong. I'm not going to sit here and make excuses for that behavior and say things like "I didnt see anything wrong with it so clearly there's nothing wrong with it." My first instinct is almost always to question. But we have to start believing women when they say these things. When we dont, we get the serial harassers and assaulters and rapists and enable them to get away with the things that they do. I'm not trying to argue or debate with anyone here. If youre even debating this or making jokes youre someone that I dont care to know anyway so save your breath / typing. I dont care about you. I DO care about what I can do as a human being to help and change things. I'm a gamer of 30+ years. I love my hobby. But I'm a human being FIRST. I've been coming to this board for a long time. Less so these days as I've been playing Pathfinder and not D&D but I played Red Box basic and Expert. ALOT. I know who Frank Mentzer is. I actually learned about all of this for the first time a few days ago via twitter and it made me sad a little bit. I was about to support this kickstarter. Now after all of this I wont be because it's been canceled and also because I'm not a fan of victim blaming. AT. ALL. There are probably going to be a couple more companies I stop spending money on because I get the feeling that Mentzer and the other guy I alluded to upthread arent the only ones who are going to be taken the task for bad behavior. And when I didnt know about it? That was one thing. Now that I do? I have a choice to make. Keep supporting these people or spend my money elsewhere. I'm spending my money elsewhere. When members of a community belive that the thing the community is centered around is more important than actual people? That's a problem. [/QUOTE]
