    Harassment in gaming

    I have to ask why the difference in standards... Women simply need to claim, but men need to actually, somehow, prove that they didn't do it? Libramarian just said that "here is a third option to belief and denial: skepticism. One is skeptical when they're withholding belief but open to...

    Harassment in gaming

    Sexism in real life does that, sexism within a game doesn't affect anyone because pixels aren't people. Unless it can be shown that sexism within video games influences people to be more sexist outside of video games (in real life) then yes its simply a matter of taste. You might as well be a...

    Harassment in gaming

    I honestly don't know. I'd most certainly lean towards the latter if the trend in the past few years wasn't what it currently is. Feminist blogs about how men simply smiling at women is sexism, college students claiming they need therapy because someone wrote, in chalk, "Trump 2016" on some of...

    You're right, your first, and honestly only, mentioned piece of evidence was a blog post about white male terrorism in table top gaming. I'm not sure how I came to my original conclusion.

    Harassment in gaming

    Now apply this to the following scenario. Person A claims Person B grabbed their breast. Person B claims that they did not grab Person A's breast. You've listened to both, now which do you believe? If you believe Person A, by your own reasoning, you're "completely dismissing" Person B's...

    Harassment in gaming

    Yes, no, and maybe. I'm sure a lot of the complaints are legitimate. I'm sure some are real, but embellished (still bad, obviously). I'm sure some aren't real, and are just the result of people over reacting. And I'm sure are a few are just plain made up. One of the issues facing us, or at...

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    Honestly this sounds just like another progressive hit piece against white men, equipped with trigger warnings and demands that the only acceptable reaction is to "listen and believe" and be an ally. Is there any horrible societal ill white males aren't responsible for? It's also puzzling to...
