Sexual harassment

[RiyahArp]

Eh...

I'm not sure this is sexual harassment as opposed to a nightmare/abusive ex. I mean, harassment usually has the connotation of power to it, and if he used his position in the moogle post or as a community leader to shut people up, yeah. But reading it it feels like just a horrid ex, and that's really not systematic as opposed to the person. It doesn't excuse anything, but I am wary of the trend of issue-ifying things that aren't actually the description. Horrid relationships unfortunately happen more often than we'd like.

That's why you need to protect yourself. You don't skype people or send them nudes. You don't want to make yourself too vulnerable to charming strangers on the net or in real life. You can't trust people that way. It's really easy, especially if you are lonely, to become very vulnerable to anyone who is nice to you and think the best of them. People are too casual about this, to the point of linking real life personas to this by meeting in facebook groups. You have to always think of your own safety and protection first in any relationship or interaction; you can't be casual about these things because you don't know the person. Usually you go and build trust with someone for a long time, but the psuedo anonymity of the net seems to short circuit things. I really think people need to keep game stuff in game a lot more than they do. Yes, its wrong for people to abuse your trust, but ultimately its you who have to deal with the cost and fallout, even if you are in the right. You can't rely on "well men SHOULDN't abuse" any more than "well men, SHOULDNT steal my car radio." Bad people happen, you must protect yourself as much as possible.
