[QUOTE="was, post: 6866857, member: 24488"] ..When I read this article, I was absolutely shocked and appalled. I have been gaming for nearly 24 years and have never seen this sort of offensive behavior. IME, male gamers tend to be more timid in approaching women. I also game with women, both young and old(er), and have never heard of such sexual misconduct from them. Maybe it's a regional thing, the midwest being more conservative and such. ..If these criminal instances are not the product of an aspiring writer, then they need to be addressed immediately. It's outrageous that any authority would be so dismissive of such serious crimes. Especially in these litigious times and with the prevalence of social media. In my past work experiences, both civilian and military, just the accusation of such sexual misconduct was enough to destroy a career. ..IMO, no gamer should tolerate the harassment of a fellow gamer. We face enough abuse from outside the community to tolerate it from within. [/QUOTE]
