    Look, if someone is repeatedly harassing another to some actual degree to where the game experience is lessened I agree that a GM should step in if it is actually severe enough (the actually harassed). However, I think it is ridiculous and completely laughable that people are trying to equate these examples to real life stalking and labeling these people as "predators". Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Being emoted at in a video game is nothing compared to the real life harm that an actual stalker, or predator can do. It trivializes real victims.

    If being emoted at in a video game effects someone this severely emotionally, maybe they should turn off the game, or better yet get off the internet.

    I agree that the stalking discussion is over the top for me as well.
    I'm not one to generalize normally, but these feels like a "US thing"


    But yes, if someone is diminishing your game experience with their behavior, call a GM and let them sort it out.
    As SturmChurro said, this is a game, and it's supposed to be fun.
    Nobody has the right to infer on that.
