Tank dps harrasment

[Awha]

. . . I honestly don't have much respect for someone who seems to be attempting to silence someone elses opinion just because it happens to be unfavourable for their agenda . . .

Once again I am fine with your experience, I was once even in the same position when it came the toxic behavior in PvP. I for one rarely ever saw it, and each thread I saw about I did think to myself that they are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Nevertheless SE took action and tried to do something about, despite knowing nothing they do will ever stop said behavior. Also personally I do not like the removal of chat, but as I said before I do respect SE for taking action even if their solution does great impact those that still PvP. That is neither here nor there. Why would I compare sexual harassment to parser harassment? Because they are both forms of harassment. Pretty sure if I came to the forums stating my regarding sexual harassment ingame as something in 4 years of playing (which I have not played for 4 years) I have never seen. Don't you think more people would feel I am being disingenuous? As in pretending to know less about something then I really know.

Though for a moment let us leave that point aside you say that one player a month is negligible, fair enough where do we draw the line for it to be an issue? When it comes to harassment frequency should not be a factor at all. That is why I am focusing on that point, say if I said the frequency in which in-game sexual harassment is being blown out of proportion, and then chalked it up to human nature people make mistakes, get thicker skin, you do not want to deal with it do not log in etc . . . (Not saying this is your position at all) pretty sure most people would think I am bad shit crazy. That is what people who come to the forums to vent about their parser abuse go through.

Harassment is harassment I said in my post before does not matter on the subject or scope. As I have also said before you are 100% right we never solve the issue, there is no magical fix to make everyone nicer, but at the very least we can try to find way to minimize it even just a little. Look at this thread alone we have people asking the OP why they should carry her, when no where in her post she mentioned she wanted to be carried. So yeah I focused on your out of proportion part to see if you would be able to provide where the line should be drawn for action to be taken. Instead of simply double back on the frequency. Though I do get the sneaking suspicion that if I made the same post that started this back and forth in a threat regarding sexual harassment our roles would be reversed. Since the importance of harassment of any kind should not based around frequency.

Personally I feel as if all forms of harassment should be taken seriously, and never undermine by any degree even if it is simply in passing by saying I doubt how often it comes up, since fact of the matter frequency should never be a factor, point for some reason you keep glossing over. Your experience holds merit, and as a forum sure everything is entitled to their own opinion but just with the sexual harassment or any other form of harassment do you think many would agree with someone if they said I they doubt how frequent occurrence it is. Since that only goes to show they are missing the point. The fact it happens at all is the issue, and something should be done about it, not how often it happens.

So strangely enough your post is attempting to silence those that have gone through such abuse, so you are sort of doing what you claim you dislike. So maybe my claim of your being disingenuous was a little on point. Though you are right this is going nowhere.
