I got sucked into revisiting
this thread from last year today, and remembered that
we had a general
discussion about how uncommon sexual assault was in
our gaming experiences, compared to what the article reported from Fine's book. That reminded me that I did note this surprising and depressing observation when I read
Shared Fantasy this year. Just verifying now that I've read that. Fine did report it being very commonplace in his field observations, to the extent that one reason some of the boys and men he gamed with objected to women and girls attending games was that they felt a social pressure to tone down the subject matter if women
were present.
