To be fair, "wanting to not be harassed" is hardly an unreasonable request.

Do you apply the same theory to political ppl? At what point do you realize that you volunteer yourself to this position.

If the community does nothing about this, perhaps your in the wrong community??

Post reminds me of the USA NFL (football) telling its fan not to beat their wives because their players are doing it.

This whole "feel guilt for things you havent done" is moronic.

The princess is only preaching to the choir on these forums, her words will never be truely heard by the guilty.

I've heard some of my friends talking about the Paws situation, I know absolutely zero about it

Fair enough, but harassment is based on feelings not on facts and thats the issue here.
Whats harassment for someone doesnt bother the next guy. So you cant have rules for that and enforce them, if the claim of being harassed or not being harassed is based on feelings, general mood, situation and what have you.
Thats nonsense at best or a thinly veiled attempt to enforce more censorship at worst.
For example: What if I feel harassed by threads discussing harassment on the internet? What now? Close all those threads? Ban everyone involved?
This is ridiculous obviously but thats whats going to happen, if harassment was actually some sort of "crime".


Just like you I dont know anything about this specific instance and I also dont care. I did watch her streams casually a while ago, like years ago when she was way more active. She seems to be a grown ass woman and should be able to handle stuff like this.
Its not like weird shit happening on the internet was newsworthy at all.
She is used to this stuff or should better be used to it by now. Thats whats going on the internet and everyone knows it.
This is the same as complaining over getting wet when jumping into a river.
Also starting a thread like this take agency from her, implying she cant handle shit like this herself and desperately needs help.
She doesnt

Uh, never (essentially). That's part of what makes it abuse - it's not acceptable behaviour. Are you making the suggestion that the woman in question "volunteered" to be abused by people?

Preaching to the choir? Not really what I'm seeing based on the response to the thread so far.

I don't get the impression she's trying to be "heard by the guilty" - I mean why would anyone waste time doing that, right? Asking abusers to stop isn't going to make that happen. Rather, she's trying to be heard by GGG, as is the point of a feedback and suggestions forum.

Then, same as anyone else who has a problem related to POE, you'd be welcome to start a thread discussing it. Go right ahead.

Oh no no not this again I came here for game stuff I don't wanna see this.

As other people mentioned, 1st world problems. Not every person has same brain functions, some are more aggressive, some are more calm, some are psychopaths, some are into murders, racists, religious zealots and so on. We can send people to some countries reeducation camps or create our own if that would help, but you can't force that persons nature. If you are smart person, be one, try to have some understanding of this world we live in. Mass rapes, mass murders, concentration camps, hunger, many people has problems. And all of this topic should be in Off topic section.

It's a videogame forum. Basically every issue people discuss here is first world problems. That's normal.

you got one thing wrong: "we".

there is no "we".
players playing poe are no special community because we don't know each other by names or anything.

poe is free to play for anyone, you're basically complaining about the internet being bad.

asking for the internet to behave is as fruitless as asking ggg to censor the internet.

it's bad enough that people constantly demand that ggg fixes other companies' routers.

A huge lack of empathy in the replies. I'm not familiar with the events, but harassment is a serious problem and is unacceptable even in a gaming community.

Oh please SOMEONE IS MEAN TO ME ON TWITCH! When it's on every single gaming sub on reddit I don't need to see it here as well sexual harassment alligations etc I don't care you take that shit to the police but this is just twitch shit you want me to have sympathy for meanies on twitch? [Removed by Support]

I'm tired of people being "outraged" over things that don't matter. Like a previous poster said, you're more than welcome to take a trip to, say, Syria and see what true outrage is like.

Outrage and cancel culture is brewing a generation of soft, gutless people that are aching for a reason to whine and moan over just about anything. Get over it, really. There are bigger things on this planet to be concerned about.

Get back to gaming or get off the internet if you can't handle it.
