    Why are you bunching Women into this? Do you feel women are discriminated against on-line a lot? or treated poorly. People of Color? Man, we are all people of color.

    Do you guys accept straight white men? As one, I feel like I am being discriminated against. That's how it looks. Seems you accept anyone on the planet besides straight white men.

    I should've clarified that straight white men are allowed to join, but I was capped at 1000 characters. We have straight white men in the group, too, but we expect people to be allies and supportive first and foremost. Yes, women and people of color face discrimination online, too. Our FC is designed to be a safe space. We're not gonna justify the choice to be inclusive... as it shouldn't be a choice.

    As a woman irl, yes. I feel very discriminated against in most gaming communities. Its actually startling how bigheaded and blind people are. ^^; I have no issues with anyone except when I get called a 'gear sl##' or a 'Bit##' just because I suggest another tactic. Or even better when 'men' decide it is prfectly okay to slander me and tell me to 'get back in the kitchen'.
