How sad that you seem to think so little of those who share your hobby.  One of the problems I have with Consent in Gaming is that the author's are approaching gaming as if it's an inherently dangerous activity. And if you view gamers are not good it really starts to make sense why they would approach gaming as though there were a reasonable risk of serious harm. We might not be perfect, and there are certainly serious problems, but most gamers are good. Most gamers were good back in the 80s and most of them are still good today.</blockquote>
