[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6870192, member: 82779"] If a woman has been groped, the men and babies re: breasts comparison makes a great deal of sense for her to make, particularly while exasperated about the topic of sexual harassment/assault. The biological purpose of breasts is to feed babies after all. As for your disbelief about the cop and the chant, I can't speak to what Winnipeg is like, but real life can very much be just as horrific as a horror film. Recall that Texas Chainsaw Massacre (a 1970s horror film) had elements inspired by real life murderer [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein#Crimes"]Ed Gein[/URL]. Also, you should be aware that cops are not paragons of humanity. I'm sure we can all find articles online about cops who abused their authority by sexually assaulting women. If some cops are willing to sexually assault the women they pull over (and some very much are), then it's not much of a stretch at all to consider that some cops might react to a claim of rape as was described. We also really don't know what experiences precede her supposed comments about gamers being scum and nerds being the worst (I say supposed because I am not going to scour her tumblr and other sites to try to disprove what she said in the article linked in the OP). We do not have a timeline of the harassment/assaults that's she's received and her comments about nerds and gamers. Ultimately, we know for a fact that the terrorism against her occurred. Whether Wyrd was complicit or not in the terrorism against her is irrelevant to the existence of the problem of women being harassed and/or assaulted by members of the gaming community, a problem whose existence has been corroborated by multiple sources, including members of this forum.
