Who made that claim?

That cuts both ways, perhaps the person making the claim is also socially awkward and reported a harmless comment as being harassment or having causing great offense.

So, despite the overall population being able to determine what is and what is not appropriate, it just so happened that some of the ones who can't make that determination were all sitting at the same table when inappropriate language was repeated - that's your example. Going off of that it...

Don't forget the students needing therapy because someone wrote "Trump 2016" on a university's sidewalk, the Yale students who felt physically threatened because some Yale professors didn't think the university should be telling 20 something year olds how to dress on Halloween, what happened at...

If "most people are capable of determining what is and is not appropriate" then why did you come up with a hypothetical that shows the opposite just to counter one of Springheels points which essentially said "most people are capable of determining what is and is not appropriate" when he...

I'm speaking about people, both men and women. I never said that it was solely the victims responsibility to bring forth evidence. The staff could see if there are any witnesses, check camera footage (if its at a store/event with a camera), perhaps see if there are any other complaints about...

No, a story of women scheming to manufacture false allegations against a man becomes true when the evidence leads you to that conclusion; Google, my mention of the victim's name, and the country this took place in was included to ground this instance in reality and allow people to look into it...

Several (3+) Canadian women schemed up a sexual assault/rape claim against Jian Ghomeshi, a Canadian Musician and radio host, which the courts just threw out because there was evidence of collusion via facebook private messages between the women and after the dates the women claimed they were...

I'd just like to point out that the 1:5 sexual assault/rape rate at college campuses figure that's been floating around is very misleading. Christopher Krebs and Christine Lindquist, the two Senior Research Social Scientists at RTI International who directed the survey in question had this to...

It absolutely is the correct response. What if the comment was as mild as "Man that boss fight was pretty crazy, glad we all survived!"? If that's all that it was she needs to learn how to resolve these minor issues on her own. She can either understand that odds are the person who made that...

You're free to expect action to be taken, whether or not it will be taken will be dependent upon exactly what sort of behavior you're pointing out as offensive. I know you don't think there should be a threshold, but if you go to a convention staff member or a store owner/worker and report...

Likewise, enough women have pointed out the same line of reasoning as I have here. Actually a female YouTuber, I believe it was shoeonhead, brought up the stats I mentioned earlier about video games. I have no idea how the tabletop industry is as a whole because I've only played D&D but I'd be...

My mistake, I saw talks of "products" and "games" and assumed the talk had moved past just tabletop games and into gaming in general. I should have read. Still, though, I wonder if we've established that tabletop gaming really is loaded with sexual content or is that something we just assume...

I'd like to point out that its very likely that most of the complaint about sexuality in games would be aimed at games with a mature ESRB rating. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2013/02/06/esrb-ratings-mature-games/1893507/ 9% of games created, at least in 2012, had a mature rating...

Wow, this actually gave me chills reading it. I think this would be very fun and will run it by my party. I like how the "recipe" is different for each person (because of #1 and #2) and really enjoy the flavor of #2. I also love the sort of trap in #3 with a forged coin. Great ideas!

Oh wow, very interesting. You know I like the fluidity of it all, I understand Matt Mercer was probably making some of the rules up on the fly but I really enjoyed seeing how personal it seemed. As if it'd be different for every PC if they were resurrected. Thanks for that! There are...

You're correct, its not very often that I come across this. And I guess in a sense the extreme cost is a serious hurdle early on to low level parties/characters. I misspoke and placed too much emphasis on difficulty. I should have mentioned that I was looking for more thematic suggestions to...

I probably misspoke, not necessarily the coming back more punishing, but the act of resurrection itself a more difficult process. Something more than just diamonds and spells. Maybe I can ground this idea more by pointing to various movies/anime where to bring someone back from the dead didn't...

The sort of campaigns I enjoy running are more on the brutal side, not as in graphic details but with respect to how punishing mistakes are. I have no issue with TKP's if my party makes a series of bad decisions, but I am wondering how I could go about homebrewing in some relatively hard...

Outside of asserting that that's the case, can you explain why only focusing on women actually focus on protecting everyone? The group "women" doesn't include everyone, therefore focusing on women doesn't focus on everyone. I'd argue that the definition of the word focus, which was the term...
