Sexism in Gaming

So you pissed some guys off in public and then admitted it was a dangerous and scary thing to do. I think I lost track of your point.

I pissed some guys off so they would leave a girl alone, because no one should have to stand that. And in a 2 against 1 situation isn't something you can easily fend off without putting yourself in danger. It is dangerous and it gets the adrenaline running because you never know what types capable of that like that will do next.
I decided to post it here because it was some sort of eye-opener for me. It's easy to just wave off all the talk about sexistic harassment when you haven't been there and seen it. I experienced it for the first time right there. When I realized that this girl wasn't part of some sort of gang where they joked around about that kind of stuff. These were just some random people deciding to "pick her up" and wouldn't take no for an answer.
I did what I thought was right but soon found myself in a situation I rather avoid. Not sure if they spotted security guards or if it was something I did or someone else did but they left and that girl hopefully didn't lose all faith in men. I didn't get assaulted or stabbed so I'm happy about it. And of course the very point where people around all agree but no one have the guts to stand up for it. Not even when I did. I think everyone on that subway tram thought those guys went over the line but they decided to ignore it.

Next morning I read about a guy getting sliced up after a bar fight in my town so it didn't exactly make me feel more proud of what I did. Which is exactly why I won't go around preaching to people that they should pick fights with every thug they see.

From what anime did you watch that from? Sounds pretty good.

Sorry if reality doesn't suit your taste.

Sometimes you just don't have the luxury to walk away. As I mentioned earlier I was the victim of bullying. Parents, teachers, they were all useless, if anything they made things worse. So your choices are to either keep taking it and damaging your self esteem, or start busting heads and leaving a trails of blood.

I was suspended from school for 2 weeks for using a knife on some goons. Is that a bad thing? Of course it is. But I was never bullied again, so the ends justified the means.

But again, it all depends on your situation. If you're just sitting on a train and witnessing it happen you can always just turn a blind eye and get off at the next stop. For the rest of us we have to look ourselves in the mirror every morning.
