I've been waiting for this thread for awhile now (more on that at the end). A lot people have been sick of this for awhile. I know I was about ready to pack up and go when that thread making fun of Shadow's appearance got 200+ posts and even went white-shield for awhile (then again, I remember [i]you[/i] telling her she wasn't really a girl [though not because of appearance], so maybe you don't care about that). The problem we have is that this is an online forum with a disproportionate level of ineffective males who, many for no fault of their own, grew up with pretty warped views of women. I'm pretty sure I've never done what you're talking about in the OP (to females anyways; I can't help myself when it comes to studs like Capiton and Weeded Dragon), but I've certainly pushed the bounds of political correctness when discussing things like feminism. To stuff like that I'd say "don't go online if you don't want to see different opinions," but I don't think that's what this thread is about anyways. This thread is about specific, targeted, harassment, which is a problem here. Truth be told, this thread is probably the best thing you could possibly do to enact change. I don't respect the argument some have given that "we can't fight this because we'll be called white knights" (seriously, anyone who cares about being called that probably is that), but ultimately we can't speak for you, and you probably don't want us to. The most effective way to establish this change would be to establish a culture in which we as Floodians called people out when they harassed people. If you never express that you dislike the harassment though, we pretty much [i]are[/i] speaking for you. I'm pretty sure there are a good number of people willing to support you in this, but you need to give their voice direction.
