I'm glad to see that we agree that we should be focusing on the women.

Yes, "victims" being overlooked. Someone please think about the poor men? 8-)

Only a 2/10 for derailing. You're giving us the weak sauce, dude.

You guys do understand that the Gen Con harassment policy has been in place for a while, right? I mean, since everyone read my article you all saw the section talking about the actual policy that Gen Con has, right? I even highlighted it in red for the convenience of some, and linked to the...

I'm sorry to hear that you have had to endure that. You shouldn't have had to. Again, though, we aren't talking about hypotheticals. We aren't talking about people being jerks. We aren't talking about people saying "incorrect" things. We talking about people harassing women, Full stop.

Because, as you have repeatedly been told this is not a courtroom. There is no concept of "innocent until proven guilty." Again, this is all just derailing tactics.

We get that there are people who are hoping that this issue will be ignored, or that people will get tired of asshats trying to derail the discussion, however the time for hoping that this will go away is long past, and if people think we're going to stop talking about it. They're wrong.

That would be great if this were a genderless problem, but it isn't. It is about women being harassed. If the topic were "hey, men and women are getting harassed and threatened with rape in tabletop gaming then we could leave gender out the the discussion.

Yeah, because that is how anti-harassment policies work. Once again, this isn't about men. I understand that you aren't used to topics not being about you, but this conversation has nothing to do with hypothetical situations about what might happen to a man. The fact that posters keep dragging...

Again: This might be a kooky idea, but maybe we could get back to talking more about what is actually happening to women, and less about hypotheticals about what might happen to men or their hurt feels.

I don't care about CCGs, miniatures or boardgames either, however they have more in common than they have different, and they all have common origins, which is why (whether we care about them or not) they are all under the umbrella of tabletop gaming. Honestly, I don't expect you to change your...

Sure. I only wrote the article here about tabletop gaming, and mentioned that periodically. But I'm moving the goal posts.

There is no monoculture, and that's the problem. The people who like the fact that they can harassment women, PoC and other groups want everyone to think that their behavior is the norm for the so-called gaming culture. The truth is that there is no monoculture, just like there is no "one true...

Sorry, not a goal post shift....you've been harping on this the whole time. Ad hominem attack. If you don't have a defensible point, attack the person making the argument instead.

Goal post shift (again). Next?
