[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6880969, member: 22779"] No, it really, really doesn't. That's not what it says at all. What it does say is that a large group of white men in the hobby are perpetrating terrorism on women in an attempt to force them from the hobby. And that people who use the threat of violence to force others to behave in a certain manner are, in fact, terrorists. So, let's look at the quotes shall we? So, unless you are one of the men who have emailed this woman a rape threat, then she isn't talking about you. Also: At worst she is saying you are complicit by not acknowledging the problem and actively doing something about it. Claiming that the article is calling all gamers white male terrorists is a misreading what's written. Now, is what she saying accurate? That's something we're talking about and it should be discussed as openly as possble. But fixating on something she never actually wrote in an attempt to shut down all conversation is, well, precisely the point she's trying to make. That the majority of gamers are complicit in not actively attempting to ensure that this sort of crap doesn't happen in our community. [/QUOTE]
