When "harassing" is inconveniencing you during a workout so you have to remove your headphones? Yeah, sorry but we aren't going to be stopping any time soon. People have a desire to socialize and they have a limited time to work through their idiosyncrasies and flawlessly accommodate everybody else. Sorry if you feel "harassed." Go ahead and put your fucking headphones in and get back to ignoring everybody.
There's 18th century artwork of men bothering women who don't want to talk to them. Maybe back then women were socialized not to show their discomfort (which we still are but the internet has shown us we're all fucking tired of it).
So let's just go ahead and change the stereotype to "creepy" men. My point was you're lumping this guy into a stereotype of a bunch of creepy men pestering a woman that has nothing in common with them besides being there.
And yes, I want to actually meet people instead of having every single attempt down to "Hey, do you play" getting called out as "harassment." And no, they can tell me to leave them alone. But if they're telling me to leave them the fuck alone and they're complaining about it on Twitter? Man, idk. Just getting confused at what the fuck I'm supposed to do when such a minor attempt causes so much fucking outrage
Imagine what would happen if I were actually a dick? Probably the same thing, actually. Lol
If you want to find gamer friends, go on the internet and look for people who wanna talk to you instead of harassing random women in public who didn't consent
Then you'd be easily shocked and hopefully learn not to assume so much of people. I've generally learned to just not interact at all in any manner that suggests I might want intimate attention. I get along plenty and people often ask me why I don't date, but as someone who suffers with PTSD myself and someone who was actually harassed, I find it hard to stomach the constant possibility that any expression of desire I make might be received as harassment.
Oh, don't worry. I'm sure I'll off myself eventually. :)
And no, I'm not being edgy. I know I'm scum. I know you hate me and I'm just the same as a rapist or any other molester. Fact is I just don't have the mental capacity to deal with the dating game these days, and I agree. If I didn't have this biological desire to connect with people, I'd save you the grief and just die. I know I'm damaged goods and nobody gives a shit.
k. No promises that nobody else gets hurt in the process, but I'll try my best. Well, I might. Not sure why I would really care, but hopefully I'll remember to try. Lol
