Lol. Saying you shouldn't downplay sexual assault by comparing it to sexual harassment is downplaying sexual harassment now?
Just need Kevin Feige to endorse NFT’s and the MCU will be labeled alt right chud material.

Are we really throwing around the term "gang-rape" so loosely now? She was sexually harassed absolutely - and that's awful - but like can we use words that mean the things that they mean?

I'm Black, and I'm not offended by any of that. They're just stupid ass jokes and out of context clips. I'm more offended by his participation in spreading misinformation about COVID. I swear, Joe used to be cool. I miss the days when it was just him talking about weed, DMT, and grizzly bear stories. Nowadays, his anti-vax stance is a hill he's willing to die on, which makes his podcast straight up unlistenable. He forces the subject on random guests, and even tries to debate licensed professionals lol. I stopped tuning in once the podcast felt like a chore to listen to.

User Banned (3 Months): Dismissive Commentary Surrounding Sexual Harassment; Prior Bans for Sexism and Other Dismissive Behavior
I mean, its medium. Thoughtful but bait is the goal.That said, problem stands. You're asking people to become even more intimate and involved in an internet that's done a terrible job of policing behavior when its just words on a screen
I gotta agree here. This is sexual harassment and verbal assault, but it's not r*pe.The Metaverse is a mess already.
Arm yourselves is all I can fuckin say. It’s not going to save all of us, but if you see a cop wilin on an unarmed civilian, fuckin shoot them, and don’t kill them unless they shoot back. Save a civilian, because they didn’t sign up for this shit. This will not turn around until a civilian is acquitted for shooting a cop that was seconds away from murdering someone.
If you shoot you shoot to kill. There is no option of shooting to wound, that’s a horseshit myth that gun nuts like to spread
I’m not saying shoot their foot like in Goldeneye, I’m saying don’t execute them like they do to us.
Look I've been a critic of police militarization before it was cool just here let alone across the NeoGAF.com Cinematic Universe and there are plenty of ways we could slice down on and actually punish police who kill and injure people without needing to abolish the police (although until we abolish the state there will be no utopia) and of course any police abuse of power should be a crime that actually gets prosecuted. (Skip: Absolutely.) BUT!They don't actually kill that many people. Unless you're involved in gang activity or drug trafficking (and aren't mentally ill and homeless) you're extremely unlikely to be killed by police. Police aren't just wantonly slaughtering black (or white) people during traffic stops. And they really don't kill upper middle class 35+ video game forum posters like at all.ACAB but shit ain't an ongoing street war with the cops.

Your point?That sexual harassment has existed in online social spaces for decades? Yeah, no one's denying that.
QuoteWould it be at this level? You are given a crouch button, a canned animation that everyone has access to as part of the game design.That's very different to having free-form control over your actions in a space where you perceive the other person as being right there in front of you.What's this about levels? I'm not comparing the particular egregiousness of teabagging to this particular incidence. It's that this user thought that was an appropriate shitpost to make in a thread about a woman being sexually harassed.But yes, I think emulating the act of inserting your ballsack into an unconscious individual is sexual harassment, even if we had decades of people sanitizing it through sheer proliferation.

In a better world, these assholes would be identified, banned from the service and presented with criminal charges.In our world, shareholders care more about the number of users than they do about some of them being harassed or traumatized for life. This sort of tragic event doesn't even register on their radar.I know that not everyone in this thread can empathize, but rape can happen in many forms and it can fuck you up for life, even if you try to bury it. That woman has to walk out into society under the fear that at any point, under the wrong circumstances, something like that could happen to her, even if where she lives is mostly safe. It's an invisible scar that changes the way you look at people and the world on a subconscious level. It can make you tremble in a sunny bright park full of joy and laughter around you and if you don't understand or don't try to understand the impact that such an event can have in someone's life, you should REALLY shut the fuck up.Some of us have to live with the trauma that you casually dismiss.
Yup, rape can mess up your entire worldview and perspective, along with normal real life situations being potential triggers for reliving the trauma. Which is why governments and law enforcement agencies need to catch up and treat online crimes the same as offline crimes. These tech companies are not going to regulate themselves to do anything to improve with the profit motive on the line rather than customer wellbeing. At most they will implement band aids.
