not mine. i dont wade in stupid enough for shit to even effect me
For me it's something that I can't, in good conscience, ignore. The amount of abuse and harassment that anyone in the public eye faces for speaking out against them and the fact that it's been sustained ever since August makes it a part of gaming I'm deeply concerned about. I mean, these fucks are trying to get SWAT teams sent to people's homes in the hopes that someone will be killed. Talking about shooting up places because of a speaker. Disseminating personal information online so people are forced out of their homes. All other kinds of threats that, at this point, can't be simply dismissed as "lol trolls" without possibly putting someone in danger. All over fucking video games.
There's something very ugly in the culture surrounding gaming, and if any good has come from this, it's that people are finally having to confront it and talk about it. But yeah. Shit just makes me sad.
