[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6868909, member: 82779"] I largely agree with much of what you wrote, but I sectioned a couple pieces off for a special mention. Well, there is nothing wrong with being of any ethnicity or gender, so you really don't have prove that you are not white or male. If you felt the need to prove anything, it should only be the not a terrorist part, because the other two adjectives are not bad things to be. And that's not to say that you need to prove you are not a terrorist before saying anything constructive. The things you say and do will illustrate your character to those who witness those words/actions. Or, to put it another way, a bad tree will not bear good fruit. As I read the article (or essay, or whatever one wants to call it), I didn't get the impression that she was calling all gamers white male terrorists. The ones who sent death and rape threats clearly were/are terrorists though, because they were trying to weaponize fear against her simply because she stood up for her right to not be harassed.
