Sexual harassment

[BillyKaplan]

Maybe it depends on your background, I can tell you where I grew people use to make false accusations about their boyfriends. Sure some of it was grounded in reality, but often times they would up play the situation to give it more impact. This is simply my anecdotal view of it, hell one of my favorite high school teacher was let go because our class made accusations about him. I have met people that lie about being deaf just to avoid using voice chat instead of just telling the group they do not feel like using chat. People lie about the weirdest things or the strangest of reasons.

Your examples are skewed because the latter is ultimately harmless and probably born out of that person's insecurities and anxieties, to avoid being peer pressured into joining the chat. Also, you yourself admitted it was an anecdotal example (and is still ultimately a form of abuse, mind, just from the other direction). No one said false accusations don't exist, but they are factually the minority.
