Sexual harassment

[Elamys]

It has nothing to do with not understanding and everything to do with patience and letting information come out. I've lived on this planet too long to simply jump to conclusions or become a vigilante of sorts.

That's good for you, but I'm talking about the people who say it's the fault of a victim for being online or for "not blocking" the abuser in these kinds of situations. I'm not saying you should jump to assuming the guy's guilty, I'm talking about the people who say this stuff doesn't happen or isn't serious.

This has been my main issue with this thread as well. The Moogle Post situation is something I won't pass final judgement on until it's actually litigated, though the evidence against Old Bear is such that I wouldn't want to deal with him. Especially after seeing how he and his few remaining, loyal staff handled the retaking of the magazine not that long ago which left a bad taste in my mouth. My biggest issue is the people laughing at the victims and assuming they're lying out of the gate or that situations like they describe either cannot happen, or are their fault to begin with. It's a worrisome trend. You don't /have/ to believe everything wholesale and frankly I agree that skepticism is the right course of action when you have no personal stakes in a conflict. It's the broad strokes 'anyone who /allowed/ themselves to be in this situation /deserves/ it' generalizations that I see most people discussing and being disgusted by.
