Would you be opposed to the same line of reasoning with blacks and crime, Muslims and terrorism, women and child abuse, etc?

I'm sorry for your experience, and the experiences of the women you're speaking about. It's not acceptable and I do think something needs to be done. I agree, our hobby isn't about excluding groups of people based off characteristics they cannot control (race, gender, sexual orientation...

The same goes for Muslims and terrorism, and black males between the ages of 15-35 and crime here in America. Is that a distinction you feel comfortable with?

Why do we have to focus on gender when behavior is the real issue? Stop putting men in one basket and women in the other. Put well behaving people in one basket and poorly behaving people in the other basket. Is that such a crazy concept?

That's not it at all. Specific emphasis on race/gender/sexual orientation is the issue. Why not just lump all the amazing achievements of those black individuals into their respected history books? The issue with you, is that you don't enter a conversation where you start off with the...

I know.

As I mentioned my next post, I have no issue with women only table top groups. I certainly have an issue with people who want to harass women for wanting to have a woman only table top group. My point was more aimed at when a group of guys want to do the same thing, they're called, at least by...

I have a sneaky feeling that if there were articles about how females were the problem, that in itself would be seen as evidence of harassment, but because its against men, specifically white men, its glossed over. The author of the article also seemed to suggest that because white men were...

So you agree then, we should treat people differently based off of characteristics that they cannot control (gender, race, age, sexual orientation, etc.). Women should be allowed to exclude based on gender, but men cannot be allowed to exclude based on gender. For the record, I don't see an...

The majority seem to acknowledge the problem, but are debating how best to address it. I haven't seen anyone in the past 15 pages or so (about when I jumped in), who's acted in the way you've just described.

It's amazing. In Christopher Helton's article he mentions a group of women who wanted a woman only table top campaign and were harassed because of it... But when a guy wants to keep his group guys only, he's part of the problem mentioned in the very same article that mentioned the group of...

So you downplayed stupid jokes and implied that it wouldn't cost you your ticket price, but those same jokes are certainly serious enough for you to potentially lose thousands of dollars through being fired, possibly having a bad reputation depending on your position and the community, and very...

People have been fired/reprimanded for this exact thing, I even mentioned an example in the post you quoted/responded to. You're literally denying reality.

It absolutely is. The confusion will arise because you try and lump in sexual harassment and being made to feel uncomfortable. Lets say I tell me wife a "kitchen joke" and someone over hears it. They claim it makes them feel uncomfortable. And as others have pointed out, this isn't just...

No I didn't, thanks. I think my reservation comes from what I've seen come from both sides of this conflict, doxxing, swatting, fabricating claims to get people fired, etc. I understand this isn't a video game, but I think we can agree that a large portion of table top communities do play...

I'm just against the "send people home" policy all together, unless something more concrete is shown to back someone's claims. I think you made a good suggestion, earlier, just separate them.

I understand what happened to Anita, and a big bulk of those against her are worse than her. But what about the constructive criticism aimed at her and her videos? A non bias video series would include such material.

First, under a policy like this, citation please. Also, what happens when the person being accused also makes an accusation against the accuser? I guess you gotta send them both home. And with a policy like that, that will happen. Even with legit claims of harassment, the harasser will...

Thankfully that's not what I did. I simply pointed out that in an effort to create resolution you could also be causing harm to people. You might not find it as a big deal, but but if progressives have taught me anything its that you can't dismiss someones experiences like that. Removing the...

I'd argue its your responsibility as a member of a society that prides itself on the ideal of justice. And you accomplish that by automatically believing any claim and forcing people to go home for the day? Yea I can't see how that wouldn't be abused. I feel that my friend was falsely...
