Sexual harrasment in online games? Bitch please
Sexual harassment is rife in the world of online video gaming. While video games are often thought of as a male pursuit, an increasing number of women are playing them. Having entered a domain that was once dominated by men, female gamers are being met by abuse.
“F—–g dumb bitch. I hope a f—–g n—-r rapes you and f—–g kills you and your family.”
These are the words Jenny Haniver hears while playing a video game online. Her male opponent shouts them at her. It’s only a game, but he sounds like he means it.It’s the worst tirade of abuse Jenny has received while playing video games online, but it’s not an isolated incident. The 23-year-old student goes online almost every night to play the popular multiplayer combat-based game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, where gamers communicate via headsets.
Journo obviously has utterly no idea about online gaming and the trash talking culture of competing online. It’s not sexual harrasment, IT’S TRASH TALKING and guess what, it happens all the time and it’s brutal. Fucking hell, I say much worse to my friends playing Diablo and I have had the same said to me. For instance, last night I offered to rape Destructor with some heavy sabatons in Diablo. It wasn’t sexual harassment. I just want to hurt him.
What do you think? Harassment or should they just harden the fuck up?
