Stop with the sexism

Hey there
If any of you remember me, my name use to be "Lord Celestus".
Why? Because of the sexism on the internet.
I decided to change my name to "Lady Celestus" because I thought the community was mature enough to have me here.
Every day since then, I have been subjected to abuse and harassment. I am not going to name any names, but certain mods have ignorant of the fact, or overall don't even care, especially when I have proved the other person said these things.

I love this game, but I will not stick around if I keep getting harassed.
I don't know what can be done, but I want something done.

:/

You could start by changing your name to something that doesn't seek attention. I sympathize with you but this is the internet. Your first mistake was being so outright with your gender. Your second was assuming that a bunch of angsty teenage boys would be mature enough to let you be.

Your attempting to insist the problem is on my side.
The real problem is mods are just letting it happen.
I should be able to express myself in any shape or form, and the treatment I am receiving is not due to anything I've done.

No you didn't.

I've only received one report from you and I have yet to see any evidence of real harassment.

I have yet to receive a single report, screenshot, or any proof or sign whatsoever that you have been ill-treated by other players of the game. If there is a problem, the moderators are always willing to handle it if informed of what is going on. I suggest using the report function in-game next time or sending a private message to a mod if there is a problem with a detailed explanation and a screenshot(s) of what happened.

No? Use the report function?
Why would I do that?

Because that is what it is there for, and if you do not use it, I am just going to assume there is no problem since you did not report one.

You just prove my point about the mods are doing nothing.

If you do not report it, how can we be aware of what is going on? And if we are not aware of anything that is going on, why would we do anything?

I have reported it multiple times. Ask your fellow mods.

Acquiesce has just stated that you have filed one report that he has seen so far, AND you provided no evidence of your accusations. Mods cannot take action on here-say. We need proof. If we acted on here-say, everyone who played AW would have been banned by now.

Thats one mod.
Ask Coulmbina or w/e his name is

Coulmbina xD

<3

His name is Columna Durruti for future reference. And I will do so when he gets on, but if you had any proof of what was going on, I am sure Columna would have acted by now.

Ok spurt.

Sorry for the late reply but I did receive a report from you and muted blond pony for 2 hours on all channels for doing so.

Thank you Meester. Much appreciated. Anyways, as you see, mods do act when they are aware of what is going on. Meester is a prime example. I am off for the night though. If you have any other problems that are not being resolved as you think they should, please feel free to contact me or another mod through a private message. Cheers!

Lol it called u spurt

Lock this fourm its been delt with

I dont think he is a she

I disagree. This has not been dealt with. If we start throwing punishments at sexist comments what will I do for fun?

Stop to be so uptight. If I started to cry every time someone called me faggot, wanted to spank me or was just being a douche I couldn't play this game anymore. So you are special case, because you claim to be a women? No you aren't. Share my privilege of being attacked by other players and not giving a fuck. Now go seek attention somewhere else.

EDIT; What did you expect of this community? After all this is not some chat where guys are going to make you feel comfortable to get laid. This is a gaming community, with lots of underage guys which want to prove their manhood on the internet. Deal with it.

Hi guys (and ladies, if there is any; ¡which would make me very happy!),
just came back from work and I'm very keen in taking over the issue of thematizing, problematizing, countering and preventing sexism. Personally I do oppose any form of discrimination: sexism, homophobia, racism, antisemetism, antiziganism, classism, etc.

Of course there is sexism in the AW context (¡¿why should it be better than the other spaces in the internet, that are male dominated because of the gender and class based digital divide?!) and it usually happens in the absence of female participants. Besides the violence (verbal and phisical) against women, most of the sexist manifestations occur in male dominated spheres. Unfortunately, men that attempt not to be sexists become witness (and complices) of these vulgar and primitive manifestations. Whenever women (ladies, girls, etc.) are referred to as "bitches", "chicks", etc. there is a dosis of sexism.

Plese just try to avoid these manifestatiosn that are only the reflection of ignorance and violence towards the "other" sex.

Just get a little bit instructed on these issues: start reading about the Suffragettes and become radical feminists (¡like myself!) reading Judith Buttler.

Cheers,
CD

I suppose you are joking. I mean, being a male radical feminist seems like a very stupid idea.

Is it sexist to call girls bitches? is it sexist to call a guy a bitch?

Lol this thread

Fuck this bullshit. It's just some random girl being treated like anybody else in this game. If I want to call her a bitch I will, although I'd add a dumb in front of it. No need to roll out the red carpent, or this feminism crap which is long since disconnected from everything the Suffragettes stood for.

Not really! Keep on reading.
