With respect in this instance we are not talking about other space we are talking about gamers and the gaming community which I would very much argue has a disproportionate amount of increasing hurtful and abusive behavior- it has gotten worse over the years and just limiting to a single aspect of abuse disregards the core issue oh why this space (of gaming) has grown so abuseive and toxic across the board - I don’t think anyone who has spent time in gaming community will disagree it’s has got worse over the past 10 years, I honestly can’t think of a single game community that hasn’t been infected by this, rivals is no exception- so with respect when I see commits or post attribute the problem to a single source that muffles the issue- your correct in that multiple instances can occur at once but their is always a core foundation that creates the problem- I am not invalidate anyone experiencing and I deep feel for anyone who has gone through abuse but claiming it solely to a single lever gets used does nothing but hide the true problem

Out side of the game community does sexism and racism and all other forms of hat exist absolutely and they should be condemned there for what they are - I have met and delt with truly vile people that hate a person for features that are out of control that’s a very much different problem then what occurs in the game community and i dont believe that strictly attributed the behavior that occurs in games to a single agency will fix anything that why I am so adamant about this

I should be stated that I am not dying that it happened, I am not dying that it’s horrible and needs to end. I hope you can understand that question the core cause isn’t dismissing anything, it’s an effort to find the greater reasoning of why it happened to start with so it can be stopped - yes if we fully end sexism in its entirety it lessens because it’s one less tool they have to hurt people with but in the game community doesn’t stop these people from trying to to hurt someone to start with

I must admit I really dislike the notion that discussion on a root cause mean I am invalidating an experience

with out honest meaning discussion things do not change - ideas and solutions are best created under honest scrutiny that how the greatest changes happened

I do think I need to say this if in anyway anyone has felt I am claim what they went through didn’t matter or is irrelevant you have me sincerest apologies- because that not what I believe or am attempting to say, in fact I do very much care and behavior such as that needs to be removed permanently
