That attitude is extremely disrespectful as well because attempts to marginalize what is a very serious and real issue that pervades society. Nirolak provided research earlier in the thread that shows that 18% of women have been sexually assaulted. Now factor in that many abusers will assault more than once, and let's say that means that 10% of men are sexual abusers. That's still 1 in 10 people. That means everyone in this thread knows someone who is a sexual abuser. That means that in every single social gathering, there are sexual predators. Most situations make it difficult for an abuser to be able to act, but in scenarios where alcohol is involved, their caution about their actions is lowered and also their potential victims may be more vulnerable. So it's more likely to happen in those situations, i.e bars, clubs, conventions, concerts, etc. Conventions have the added problem of close by hotel rooms which are secluded from the public and make it easier to abuse someone. This has nothing to do with gaming and everything to do with sexism and the way our society views and treats women. You can't get away with saying 'oh it's just cause gaming attracts perverts', no, those people are everywhere. It is everyone's problem.
