Do you think taking up-skirt shots of peoples characters is creepy?

[AriaEnia]

Do you have a proof that those lalas were taking panty shots of your and your friend's character?

No I don't. I just disregarded it, but he was sitting down beneath her and with the gpose symbol on so was obvious what they were doing and when asked they replied 'So what if I am?'

My chatlog is semi related... they didn’t say up skirt but the comments I pasted into the report I filed were creepy...

Yeah it’s a game character and if you find cartoon girls something to obsess over fine... but nothing is stopping you from using the character creator and just making one yourself...

I find these people amazingly pathetic. And when they follow me around trying to line something up... or start making obscene chat... well I move away from the creeps but I report the chatters.

Erm you run around like a ... girl for hire (to put it politely) and you wonder why the "creeps" flock to you?

Ifalna has never gotten even a simple compliment. 5 years I play this game and no random ever flirted with my cat or said that she was cute.

They were just learning it from the lalafell NPCs!

I love them perverted Lalas. Last years midsummer event was also quite hilarious. ;D

Reported for what is known as “shaming” with a certain expletive in front of it.

Misogynistic “look at you, you must be a ****” attitudes are just as bad as creeps... actually they’re likely worse.

Taliban attitudes are just as bad as creeps...

Petty attitude but Report away.
Be mindful to the consequences of your actions though. (I know, highly unpopular in today's victim centered society)

You are surrounded by teenagers with raging hormones in a videogame. Dress up like that and you WILL get the responses you're getting.
Not saying it isn't their fault but you are making yourself a target. "Taliban" has nothing to do with it, I'm merely accounting for basic human nature.
The "dresses" you wear (more like undressing the char about as much as the game lets you do) and the character design are meant to exploit it anyway.

I stated "you dress like one". Not that you are one. Big difference. Nothing misogynistic about it at all.

What's with people announcing they reported someone? Is there some kind of medal for it? Or is it solely the dopamine rush?

I find it rather hilarious that she even reports it b/c I wasn't even referring to her person but knowing the mods in these forums they probably oblige her and ban me.

Once you're assumed to be an ideological enemy you#re officially a target. I had people actively trying to bait me into saying something that's reportable ^^ Usually when you see something that really crosses a line and report is you move on with your day without a second thopught. It's only the crowd that takes everything personal that gets a sick thrill out of going "Ha! Gotcha! Who's the boss now huh? Who's the boss?!" ^^

That is a pretty messed up excusing sexual harassment like that, the standards expected of people are getting very low.

Nobody excused anything, they just explained why it was happening and why they can expect it. At no point did they say harassment is okay. It's like if you go into a bad neighborhood holding wads of cash in your hands where anyone can see, you cant be shocked if a homeless person comes up to you and begs for money. You have every right to tell them to piss off and be annoyed at them, but it's also something you probably should have seen coming.

As I said: I play a Miqo'te girl for 5 years now and never even got a compliment.
So it's valid to assume that there is a correlation between how you dress and how people perceive you/approach you.
I never excused their behavior and people that actually do harass other players should be reported.
I merely gave a potential reason why she was a target.
Whether people want to believe it or not, how we carry ourselves has consequences.
