Sexual harassment

[Joven]

It would be nice, but not all states are caught up to the problem, and it's an international problem at that. Many of these laws are misdemeanors at best. So I doubt anyone would be going to prison for that. That's why I said someone's statement earlier was a strawman - using the assumption that everything being discussed here is prosecutable by law. Or that we're discussing "the past" (which I don't even know why that should have been part of the discussion).

Wow, you completely misinterpreted what I posted. Nowhere did I say that things on here are prosecutable by law. I said that it isn't up to us, the people on this forum or any social media platform, to be the ones to prosecute or persecute people for their actions. That we are not law enforcers, which is what some people were suggesting: that we police ourselves and pass judgement on those who are accused of something, be it harassment or simply being a dick. Also, I wasn't saying you were discussing "the past". You said you were discussing the topic of this post ie: the PC Gamer article and sexual harassment in general. What I said about that was that your (and generally everyone's, not trying to single you out) "discussion" wasn't solving anything, all anyone was doing was having circular arguments and petty back-and-forths without getting anywhere. I suggested that if anyone really wanted to help people with harassment on this post then they should post signs of potential harassment situations and the steps to avoid them, personal stories about overcoming abuse/harassment, etc. Endless debating the "should'ves", "could'ves", "would'ves" and "maybes" doesn't help anyone.

Can you explain these bolded parts? They seem contradictory, but perhaps they are references to different things.

Sure, what I meant was what should have been done, could have been done, would have been done and maybe do.
