Message: <blockquote data-quote="Libertad" data-source="post: 6204887" data-attributes="member: 6750502">In regards to sexual harassment, it can be related to sexism in incidents with overwhelming gender disparity, or when one party feels that they can "get away" with their behavior because of "she shouldn't complain for dressing that way!" or "he's a guy, of course he wants it!"But in almost all countries in the world, and in the tabletop fandom, sexism towards women is much deeper, more pervasive, and more systemic.  Thus the focus on my original post; people who talk about sexism against women are not denying incidents of sexism against men or saying that they're not important, just like how people who focus on one problem in society are not denying other problems by default.In regards to sexual themes in gaming sessions, it depends upon the comfort and context.  It can become harassing behavior if one player becomes the butt of unwelcome sexual jokes and in-game advances to make him/her uncomfortable.In the case of conventions, it has to do with some men who think that since a woman is dressed all sexy that gives them the right to make unwelcome advances towards them.Shades of Grey is different in that it's a media consumed in private.  And the reader is reading it of their own free will.The difference is about consent.Well, it IS Twilight fanfiction! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
