If there were a list of the dumbest ideas that redditors have come up with, np would be at the tippy top. On the other hand force subscribing people--because the admins are very thorough workers--to the beta and redesign list sounds hilarious.
I don't even think it's sexism. Every community is filled with assholes. If you're sick of 12 year olds telling you they fucked your mom while simultaneously telling you to blow them, just fucking mute them or play in private parties. It's not that hard.
It's a Blizzard multiplayer game. Of course the community is going to become awful eventually. WoW's community would still be more toxic if more people were playing it.
I noticed she took the least offense to her greatest offense. You can call me any name in the book and I'll either ignore you or do shit passive aggressively. But if you claim to be carrying me, them's fighting words. Since it wasn't that offensive to her, she probably was being carried.
Blizzard games didn't have a high barrier for entry and the riff raff could easily play. The hardware requirements were kept low too, which encouraged even more bad players to join in.
Teammate: "Dude, you should do this instead of that."
Strong WOC: "I am not a dude. I am a Strong Woman of Colour, and I resent your white heteropatriarchal assumption that I'm a man!"
Other teammate: "Yeesh, calm down lady."
Srong WOC: "What?! 'Lady'?!?!?! Is that all I am to you, reduced to my gender?!"
Teammates, in unison: "Ugh. Let's just say mean things to her until she leaves."
But it doesn't matter, all /u/cpokwdwh needs to remember is when they go in on her hard, question their penis size.
All you have to do is keep repeating how they have baby dicks and they'll lose their fucking minds. If they try and come back hard with more whore/slut/dick sucking you just keep riffing on micro dicks... "I can't suck your dick cuz I can't find it."
The dudes playing Overwatch, and on a wider scale, dudes talking stupid shit on vidya are always insecure about their sexual prowess, always.
Hardly, I can shit talk all day and when someone tries with some weak ass shit such as you've suggested, I'll double down and rape you with your own words.
I don't know who or where, but I'm sure you're well acquainted with your friends so I won't stop ya from associating. White knighting and rape goes hand in hand you know, the statistics show.
It does you are just used to /r/drama levels of bants where the average persons ability to bant is equal to pizzashill posting a picture of himself with a gross ass mustache.
I used to make south east asians go fucking insane in dota 2 saying pretty basic your mom insults whenever they called mine a dog because that seems to be their only insult.
It's amazing. One girl can turn a group full of nerds into woman hating incels and white knighting niceguys, and she doesn't even have to be present. Her voice or even just mentioning her gender over text is enough.
I don't really get that. The minute someone starts mouthing off I just mute them, unless I find it funny. It's easy, it's permanent, and it lets me get back playing the game.
Let’s Call Female Online Harassment What It Really Is: Terrorism
A few months ago I was on television speaking about rape culture. It was shortly after the allegations against Jian Ghomeshi had come to light, and I was part of a panel discussing sexual assault and violence against women. I made sure to keep what I was saying was pretty basic—not too radical, and completely based on easily available statistics. I wasn't in "angry feminist" mode; I was more like "nice girl on TV who maybe smiles too much." I was aiming to came across as likable and reasonable.
Later, the television program uploaded the segment to YouTube. The first comment was a man saying that I deserved to be raped.
I wish I would tell you that this comment was some kind of anomaly, but of course it wasn't. Rape threats, death threats, and general threats of violence populate my inbox, Twitter mentions, and blog comments. I've had people target my family—one popular tactic is to threaten to report me to Children's Aid as an abusive parent.
What makes these incidents even worse is just how common they are, not only for me, but for any woman who speaks out or takes up space, especially on the internet
"Men in formal and informal networks are engaging in targeted speech with the express intention of silencing women," says professor Joanne St. Lewis, member of the faculty of law at the University of Ottawa and lecturer at the University of Southern California CREATE Homeland Security Center of Excellence Executive Program on Counter-Terrorism. "They are not willing to subject their ideas to the challenges posed by women's advocacy. Instead, they target and intimidate women."
They target and intimidate women with the express intention of silencing them. These attacks aren't just "trolling." They aren't people just randomly lashing out. They sure as hell aren't simple expressions of "freedom of speech."
We need to start calling things by their real names. This is gender terrorism.
A terrorist is, by definition, someone who uses violence or threats of violence in order to intimidate or coerce. With that in mind, these men are textbook terrorists.
In an era where the word "terrorist" is so frequently used to describe certain types of violence that the BBC recently warned its staff to use "careful thought" when deploying the term, it seems unbelievable that people continue to be reticent about applying it to the online abuse and targeting of women.
Says St. Lewis, "It might initially seem that referring to the online speech targeting and silencing of women as terrorism is overblown. However, these attacks are having real-time impact on the lives of individual women activists and result in preemptive censorship, by the women initially targeted and other women, to avoid further attack. This is limiting our ability to advance our rights, shape our activism, and participate in democratic policy-making processes."
This past year has offered plenty of evidence of the real-life consequences of this type of online harassment.
At the height of GamerGate, game developer Brianna Wu was advised by the police that she should leave her home after receiving repeated and detailed threats against herself and her family. She recently tweeted that she has received 45 serious death threats.
A talk by media critic Anita Sarkeesian at Utah State University had to be cancelled after someone threatened to carry out a "Montreal Massacre–style attack" (a reference to the 1989 murder of 14 women Montreal's École Polytechnique); Sarkeesian has also been driven from her home at several points.
Firefly alum and noted anti-feminist Adam Baldwin circulated videos whose comments contained doxxing of Zoe Quinn, the game developer at the center of the GamerGate conspiracy theories, making it necessary for Quinn to (you guessed it) flee her home.
When Model View Culture founder Shanley Kane criticized the Linux community for their ongoing support of one of their leaders, a man with a long history of abusive and oppressive behavior, the home addresses of every member of her immediate family were published online. Kane herself received thousands of threats of violence, rape, and death.
Writers and activists Feminista Jones, Sydette, Pia Glenn, and Imani Gandy all recently spoke out in an article for Alternet about the gendered, racist abuse black women face on twitter just for black women in a public space.
These examples are only the tiniest slice of the violent harassment women face online. These are only the biggest, most egregious cases, the few that manage to make it into the news. The reality is that threats like these are being volleyed at women on a near-constant basis. Sometimes they escalate to the point that law enforcement becomes involved; other times the outcome of these attacks is women stepping back, shutting down social media accounts, and retreating from online discourse. But whether the result is a woman being forced to leave her house or a woman locking her twitter account, the intent is always the same: to silence women. Not just one woman, but all women.
According St. Lewis, "These men want to shift the terrain from the realm of ideas where speech resides, to one of psychological and/or physical warfare. The stratagem of using sexual violence is not accidental—it is deliberate and gendered."
These are all threats that are happening publicly, in broad daylight, by men using their real names. That is how minimal the consequences are for this type of harassment and abuse.
Some continue to refer to these occurrences as "harmless threats," and blame women for not being willing to engage in "robust debate." The idea of free speech is often invoked, and women who are targeted are often told that if they can't take a joke, they should get off the internet. People will often say that men experience just as much online harassment as women, an argument which completely ignores the violent, gender-based threats that women receive.
"When we call it terrorism we are clearly stating that the harm to women online creates a democratic deficit for all of us," St. Lewis says. "Women's citizenship and entitlements to dignity and respect do not stop at the virtual border of the internet. The word 'terrorism' should make people sit up and pay attention. It calls for acknowledgment of a serious problem, quick action, resources, and accountability. These are all overdue in this area where the trolls and cyberbullies thrive."
This type of terrorism needs to be treated with the same type of gravitas that we give other forms of domestic terrorism. There needs to be accountability, and there need to be swift and just consequences. Above all, there needs to be a recognition that these online threats are neither random nor harmless but rather part of a systematic effort to terrorize women.
It was I who gilded her four times to show my support as a male ally. I mean, I may have murdered eightyseven Mexican prostitutes over the last decade or so but at least I am a male ally!
You know what? I miss back when being an asshole was the default multiplayer game behavior. I miss when games like TF2 outright encourage you to induce a ragequit in your opponent. And oh boy do I miss back when people didn't have spergouts over people being mean online, acting as if the "mute" button isn't even a thing.
I mean, don't get me wrong, the constant bickering about what kind of harassment is "right" and "wrong", the endless attempts to portray being called mean names as something that can literally induce death or worse, and the online culture wars such as Gamergate are good for Dramacoin in short term, but in long term they are just endlessly boring and repetitive. This shit is simply not worth it.
Imagine asking an battery/assault victim to "Just deal with it for the beating, or else you'll be punished too. We know, your skull might be fractured, but if you run away or call the police, it's just as much your fault! Why didn't you just turn the other cheek? You wouldn't have hurt that bad on the other side! Just close your eyes! Close your ears! Easy!"
imagine comparing getting your feelings hurt to getting beaten up
I've heard and experienced way worse just from being near she creatures IRL. SMH, she creatures are so frail. Imagine if they got treated that way IRL.

Is “bad players” a nice way of saying “Brazilians?”
1 SlowFatHusky 2018-07-13
They were mostly contained to their own servers like Oceania. They would be included in the "bad players" group.

But it doesn't matter, all /u/cpokwdwh needs to remember is when they go in on her hard, question their penis size.
All you have to do is keep repeating how they have baby dicks and they'll lose their fucking minds. If they try and come back hard with more whore/slut/dick sucking you just keep riffing on micro dicks... "I can't suck your dick cuz I can't find it."
The dudes playing Overwatch, and on a wider scale, dudes talking stupid shit on vidya are always insecure about their sexual prowess, always.

Yes. But I guess it's difficult for women to navigate a menu and find it.
1 Kuonji 2018-07-13
I don't really get that. The minute someone starts mouthing off I just mute them, unless I find it funny. It's easy, it's permanent, and it lets me get back playing the game.

Let’s Call Female Online Harassment What It Really Is: Terrorism A few months ago I was on television speaking about rape culture. It was shortly after the allegations against Jian Ghomeshi had come to light, and I was part of a panel discussing sexual assault and violence against women. I made sure to keep what I was saying was pretty basic—not too radical, and completely based on easily available statistics. I wasn't in "angry feminist" mode; I was more like "nice girl on TV who maybe smiles too much." I was aiming to came across as likable and reasonable.
Later, the television program uploaded the segment to YouTube. The first comment was a man saying that I deserved to be raped.
I wish I would tell you that this comment was some kind of anomaly, but of course it wasn't. Rape threats, death threats, and general threats of violence populate my inbox, Twitter mentions, and blog comments. I've had people target my family—one popular tactic is to threaten to report me to Children's Aid as an abusive parent.
What makes these incidents even worse is just how common they are, not only for me, but for any woman who speaks out or takes up space, especially on the internet
"Men in formal and informal networks are engaging in targeted speech with the express intention of silencing women," says professor Joanne St. Lewis, member of the faculty of law at the University of Ottawa and lecturer at the University of Southern California CREATE Homeland Security Center of Excellence Executive Program on Counter-Terrorism. "They are not willing to subject their ideas to the challenges posed by women's advocacy. Instead, they target and intimidate women."
They target and intimidate women with the express intention of silencing them. These attacks aren't just "trolling." They aren't people just randomly lashing out. They sure as hell aren't simple expressions of "freedom of speech."
We need to start calling things by their real names. This is gender terrorism.
A terrorist is, by definition, someone who uses violence or threats of violence in order to intimidate or coerce. With that in mind, these men are textbook terrorists.
In an era where the word "terrorist" is so frequently used to describe certain types of violence that the BBC recently warned its staff to use "careful thought" when deploying the term, it seems unbelievable that people continue to be reticent about applying it to the online abuse and targeting of women.
Says St. Lewis, "It might initially seem that referring to the online speech targeting and silencing of women as terrorism is overblown. However, these attacks are having real-time impact on the lives of individual women activists and result in preemptive censorship, by the women initially targeted and other women, to avoid further attack. This is limiting our ability to advance our rights, shape our activism, and participate in democratic policy-making processes."
This past year has offered plenty of evidence of the real-life consequences of this type of online harassment.
At the height of GamerGate, game developer Brianna Wu was advised by the police that she should leave her home after receiving repeated and detailed threats against herself and her family. She recently tweeted that she has received 45 serious death threats.
A talk by media critic Anita Sarkeesian at Utah State University had to be cancelled after someone threatened to carry out a "Montreal Massacre–style attack" (a reference to the 1989 murder of 14 women Montreal's École Polytechnique); Sarkeesian has also been driven from her home at several points.
Firefly alum and noted anti-feminist Adam Baldwin circulated videos whose comments contained doxxing of Zoe Quinn, the game developer at the center of the GamerGate conspiracy theories, making it necessary for Quinn to (you guessed it) flee her home.
When Model View Culture founder Shanley Kane criticized the Linux community for their ongoing support of one of their leaders, a man with a long history of abusive and oppressive behavior, the home addresses of every member of her immediate family were published online. Kane herself received thousands of threats of violence, rape, and death.
Writers and activists Feminista Jones, Sydette, Pia Glenn, and Imani Gandy all recently spoke out in an article for Alternet about the gendered, racist abuse black women face on twitter just for black women in a public space.
These examples are only the tiniest slice of the violent harassment women face online. These are only the biggest, most egregious cases, the few that manage to make it into the news. The reality is that threats like these are being volleyed at women on a near-constant basis. Sometimes they escalate to the point that law enforcement becomes involved; other times the outcome of these attacks is women stepping back, shutting down social media accounts, and retreating from online discourse. But whether the result is a woman being forced to leave her house or a woman locking her twitter account, the intent is always the same: to silence women. Not just one woman, but all women.
According St. Lewis, "These men want to shift the terrain from the realm of ideas where speech resides, to one of psychological and/or physical warfare. The stratagem of using sexual violence is not accidental—it is deliberate and gendered."
These are all threats that are happening publicly, in broad daylight, by men using their real names. That is how minimal the consequences are for this type of harassment and abuse.
Some continue to refer to these occurrences as "harmless threats," and blame women for not being willing to engage in "robust debate." The idea of free speech is often invoked, and women who are targeted are often told that if they can't take a joke, they should get off the internet. People will often say that men experience just as much online harassment as women, an argument which completely ignores the violent, gender-based threats that women receive.
"When we call it terrorism we are clearly stating that the harm to women online creates a democratic deficit for all of us," St. Lewis says. "Women's citizenship and entitlements to dignity and respect do not stop at the virtual border of the internet. The word 'terrorism' should make people sit up and pay attention. It calls for acknowledgment of a serious problem, quick action, resources, and accountability. These are all overdue in this area where the trolls and cyberbullies thrive."
This type of terrorism needs to be treated with the same type of gravitas that we give other forms of domestic terrorism. There needs to be accountability, and there need to be swift and just consequences. Above all, there needs to be a recognition that these online threats are neither random nor harmless but rather part of a systematic effort to terrorize women.

You know what? I miss back when being an asshole was the default multiplayer game behavior. I miss when games like TF2 outright encourage you to induce a ragequit in your opponent. And oh boy do I miss back when people didn't have spergouts over people being mean online, acting as if the "mute" button isn't even a thing.
I mean, don't get me wrong, the constant bickering about what kind of harassment is "right" and "wrong", the endless attempts to portray being called mean names as something that can literally induce death or worse, and the online culture wars such as Gamergate are good for Dramacoin in short term, but in long term they are just endlessly boring and repetitive. This shit is simply not worth it.
