[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6869520, member: 177"] Nobody should get non-consensually groped in a gaming store either. Clearly, what *should* happen isn't what's happening. What "should" happen clearly didn't work for the author, why do you it expect to work for you? In a perfect world, one of infinite time, attention, resources, and goodwill, nobody would have to. In *this* world, we must prioritize. Walk into an emergency room on a busy Saturday night with a skinned knee among the gunshot wounds and drug overdoses, and you'll see what I mean. It isn't that your issue isn't an issue, but you may have to wait for it to be addressed. It isn't that they are "bigger victims" - that sounds like an emotionally loaded phrase. It is simply that the injury they suffer is greater than yours. And, in this case, unlike in the emergency room, properly addressing the larger root issue *will also address your issue*. Work to reduce the sexism in gaming, and you'll reduce the incidence of such articles. Help others, and you help yourself! So, I will repeat - by all means continue focusing on the harm done to you, if you feel it is the real priority here. [/QUOTE]
