Not completely on topic but i think this needs to be said: Defamation and slander should not go unpunished just because its over the internet. Nobody would ever say it's an overreaction if people gathered on the streets to publicly insult a person who hasn't done anything and carrying highly offensive banners. Police would be there arresting people in a matter of minutes. | ||

And than she states it's difficult to reach masters? She should be raping masters before even joining a team like slayers. | ||

It has been less than a month since Eve joined the team. She was not selected through the pro-gamer casting system, but she is someone I selected for the team to help start having female competitors in Starcraft 2, after seeing that she had sufficient potential. there's no harm in that. but i think the drama about sexual harrassment has gone overboard. there is no limit to the amount of bigotry and offensive harrassment on the internet, once you get into the spotlight you become a bigger target. this is always going to the case, trying to stop this is fighting a losing battle. you just need to be mentally strong and ignore the crap. you can't protect against everything, those with thick skin will go far in this hostile environment. | ||

Who are you to say when or not you should be allowed to join a team? If slayers wanted to add a bicycle riding monkey, they could do that since well its their team. Ppl acting like they are the boss with the "x shouldn't join y team because of z" is dumb. | ||

By all means, sue the trolls, but if you start suing people for disagreeing with you, that's crossing a line you never should. | ||

Police would be there arresting people in a matter of minutes. QFT. The "Anonymous"/4chan schtick of crying out "but this is the Internet!" to defend what amounts to harassment has, unfortunately, grown to be a philosophy for some: defamation, harassment, and slander are seen to be excusable if they happen online. I would submit that people with such views are making a classic philosophical error, letting "what is" substitute for "what should be." It *is* easy to slander, harass, etc, online and get away with it. It's hard to get on TV, or have an article printed in a newspaper, or to write a book, but tweeting anonymously is a two step process. Combine this with a juvenile understanding of the first amendment and the belief that the first amendment protects malicious speech with intent (it doesn't), or the idea that first amendment is the only reasonable Western stance on speech, and you get people who believe in the "thick skin" doctrine: harassment happens, get over it. Some of these people don't even understand that harassment is actually crime (albeit a minor one), or if they do, do not understand why it is a crime. I would submit that the only moral way to move through the world is to focus on "should be," with a healthy dose of reality to keep one's expectations in line. People without thick skins *should* be able to exist without constant fear of emotional distress. Not everyone should have to become ironic, pessimistic assholes to survive the online experience. And this shouldn't require heavy policing, but just self-control on the part of the participants. It's a dream, but it's not an unreasonable one. On a one-to-one basis, we expect that type of behavior in our interactions with others. There's no reason we suddenly stop online. TL;DR. Needless to say, I empathize with Jessica and Slayers on this. Hopefully she has luck in stopping the harassment of Eve. | ||
