Man there’s really one for every occasion.

2 soon

people that are that miserable that they grief people playing an online game

I’m saying I know several women who have been harassed or assaulted, sexually, and zero men. My anecdote is not data, but thousands of other similar anecdotes are.

Men can be sexually assaulted, it’s just far more rare. It’s also not what happened in this story so it is, quite literally, beside the point.

You can’t…

Your tax dollars at work protecting people from products they actively are seeking.

Agree!

Okay. So the answer is that, yes, I have to change my behaviors to accommodate jerks? They don’t have to answer for their poor behavior, I should just change servers. Or play a whole new game! Or you know what, maybe I should quit my hobby entirely. That way people can keeping screaming about snowflakes and SJWs and…

1. Just really seems like you’re going out of your way to make excuses for why what happened was not a big deal.

2. No. Being an avatar (sadly, sorry friend!) is not at all the same as being in real life. If you’ve been assaulted face-to-face, then the virtual assault brings that rushing back. If you’ve only…

You seem to really come down bigly on the side of the harasser in this story.

Wrong-o. If a trans-woman gets harassed for being a woman, then it still counts.

I’m just curious why you’re so pro-assault.

I retract my math-based approach to concern trolling.

Yes. If you’ve never been assaulted for being a woman in real life, then your perspective on being assaulted in a video game is necessarily different.

I think you’ll find that people with miscarriages probably make less dead baby jokes than edgy fourteen year olds for a very similar reason.

Perspective.

I guess I’ll give you that, you never actually used those words. You seem to be more of a “non-consensual touching” apologist.

I always play as female avatars

You’re saying that no one ever seeks to be offensive? That everyone is acting in good faith and offense can only be perceived on behalf of the audience?

“Progressives are intolerant” is the lazy thing that people do because they know it’s as galling as calling conservatives racist (sexist, bigoted, etc.)

So yeah, definitely spotted the attempted guilting.

And yet, here we are. I’m not even the top poster who brought it up.

I certainly wouldn’t say “no good reason”.

lmao wait...

Go check out some VR videos, like the first person kind, and see what kind of response they elicit from you. If VR can thrill, or nauseate, or titillate, why wouldn’t it be able to evoke dread and discomfort from a virtual groping?
