Belle, as a 360 dame member, I'm trying to follow your lead against the trolls trying to start fights, but the amount of idiocy in response to your message is overwhelming.
"Your asking for it by making an all girl clan"
So a woman is asking for -blam!- threats for playing games with other girls?
Your message is a good one Belle, and the solution is one of two options. Isolation of the infections mass, or to kill them with kindness. Unfortunately, I don't have the same strong constitution you posses.
I've played games for as long as I can remember, and joined dames because my Fiancée (who I play daily with) joined up with Dad's, and they have always welcomed me into raids and groups along with Slithermgs (my fiancée).
I have little to no harassment because of my gender, but I am not blind enough to deny that it does happen to others. You and other dames have been the recipient of R.A.P.E. threats, and it doesn't matter if your male or female, its not ok.
-blam!- isn't a laughing matter, or a joke, and it happens to both men and women. And the attitude of "its the internet, get used to it" is a toxic mind frame to have.
I would trust Dames, Dad's, and SafeGamers to play with my children should they decide to play. I have never seen negative comments in Band, or in the fourms or in chat, from one Dame to another. It's a positive, helping community from what I have experienced and I'm glad to be a part of it.
What people seem to be missing is that, no one is forcing women to join Dames. And if males want to join, their more then welcome to join SafeGamers, consisting of men & women. Dames is a woman's choice to play with other women. Because it's what makes them feel comfortable.
And just because we join Dames doesn't mean that we shun players from other Clans. I am a Dame, but I have run many raids with mostly Dad's members, along with my fiancée because it's just how and when I play. It's my choice.
But the dames have been there when no one from Dad's was available. One dame let her boyfriend play on her account because he wanted to run POE with me and my fiancée.
Dames doesn't discourage playing with other Destiny community members, but they also represent not putting up with filth from peoples mouths like what happened during the stream. The threats and harassment.
It's like a woman taking a self defense class. Does that mean she's asking to be ganged up on and beat senseless or r.a.p.e.d. because she took the class?
No.
She is simply making a choice for herself.
If people don't like the choice the women of Dames have made, their more then welcome to not play with us. We don't need their toxicity bringing us down and poisoning our members. There's plenty of others who would be glad to play with Dames members, and vice versa.
:) keep on going belle, you have an awesome message that you've been saying from the start.

Sorry you feel that way. And no feelings of mine were hurt by anyone, I typically laugh at trolls. But when someone threatens to r.a.p.e. a girl, because she's a girl playing a game, it tends to set off my itch to nut-smash an asshole. I chose a self defense class as my gathering in my wording, because it's a gathering where women build one another up. Women gathering together, knowing it's only women, and helping each other learn new skills and achieve a goal. Which is similar to Dames. Women coming together, knowing it's a woman only clan, and helping each other through the game and achive the goals they have set (run vog, skolas, crota for example) Doesn't matter if its a gardening club, a mommy club, a self defense class or any kind of gathering of women. Just because a bunch of women want to get together, doesn't give any other person (woman or man of any age) the right to make sexist, threatening remarks to them. Members of the Dames that were in the stream and Belle herself received R.a.p.e. threats. Do you think it's ok?

Edited by Gønzö: 8/6/2015 6:56:50 PMTL; DR. Go away, no one cares outside of your dumb girls club. Also, they're not their. Idiot.

Thank you for scouring my "to long" post, that you "didn't read", to get to the bottom and realize I misused the word "their" for "they're" ;) You too sir, are more then welcome to not join into a fire team with me or my fiancée, and hope that you can at sometime in the the future come to terms with the choice many women have made.
