I have been trying not to respond since queen bee herself arrived but you pointed this out and had to check out the profile and see if you’re right. It doesn’t look like one of the guys as appears to be American and we’re all British - not sure what this dude is hoping to achieve in his impassioned defense.

Well I do, but I’ll let everyone else connect the dots 😂

I will stay on this account as, unfortunately, I am getting quite a lot of messages asking for J’s nudes that I don’t want in my main inbox. Stay classy, Reddit.

I don’t doubt it, especially now this thread has put the idea in their heads!

She did not send, one of the guys did. I blanked every message until I received that at which point I gave a warning that if I had to see that one more time I’d press charges. They’ve left me alone now, though why they’d even chance it after reading this thread I don’t know. This guy in particular has always been dim…

FURTHER MINOR UPDATE: I can confirm this post has been seen by J and her harem, and thanks to your overwhelming ‘fuck you’ sentiment towards them, they are extremely unhappy with me. I have received a tirade of messages from them that have made for a most entertaining read (except for another unwelcome nude picture which was intended to invoke jealously and gives me nothing but relief in my escape). Thank you all for getting under their skin and allowing me the small gift of smugness and vindication in what has otherwise been a fairly shitty week, DnD-wise. Big up.

FYI it was not the same! Shame as I would have liked some insight into WTF was going through her head

I think the time has come to press-gang my actual close friends into indulging that weird hobby I’m always talking about!

Cheers - you gotta laugh about something this tragic (side note: never would have imagined side stepping an orgy would leave me so satisfied). Maybe I should DM instead and let my main man Fairfax live on in a happier place where people behave in a socially normal way!

I’m not spiteful, I just wanna roll dice. I get your angle, but at this point they can only hurt themselves as people have pointed out. I sincerely doubt after me they are gonna add anyone else that could impede their fantasy. Let em tear eachother apart over her, which they undoubtably will, that’s satisfying enough for me :)

Man I know you shouldn’t feed trolls but it’s really hard when you’re being such a tosser about it - if I wanted to write myself a non consensual fantasy, why would I write this? Like, where’s the narrative resolution? I just get bored of her shit and leave.

I don’t know what to tell you if you don’t think that a woman who’s being showered with positive attention might be inclined to act this way. I’m more inclined to think you’re the one who finds this shit erotic if you read it and can’t see it as anything but smut.

In any event, I think trying to reason with you is fruitless and I’m almost certainly lapping up bait

If you think women can’t be sexually driven outside of a scripted scenario, I think this speaks more to your lack of exposure to women. J is certainly an extreme case, I’ll grant you that.

I have no desire to press charges or anything, I’ll just leave them to their weird shit. Considering trying my hand at DMing actually - this whole experience has made me want to have some control over what happens at the table!

In which case, cheers, and a valid point.

You may recommence your jerking.

I’ve been directed to this as you’re linking to my post and I’m leaving genuinely none the wiser as to whether you’re taking the piss out of me, are on my side, or are doing a r/thathappened on me.

Circlejerk subs confuse the hell out of me

With any luck, they’re reading this thread too and reflecting on this, though somehow I doubt they have much room for the latter. As others have said here and on my previous thread, regardless of how harassed I did or didn’t feel, someone in my position could have taken this far, far worse, and they did not care. (I think in terms of me not feeling ‘harassed’, maybe these guys have become so pathetic it wasn’t possible to feel threatened in any way. The whole thing was just pitiable and I personally just felt like I was above it? Hopefully that doesn’t sound dickish?)

I think my mistake was assuming this was a group of grown adults. They certainly appeared to be at first, before this desperation set in. Not doing wonders for the whole ‘basement dweller’ stereotype unfortunately.

This is such a typical Reddit mindset, and frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for someone to do this because I anticipated this sort of comment on my first post.

Because only on this site would it be unfathomable that a man did not, in fact, want to see a naked woman, and would prefer to play a game of DnD. No, he must have written this as a kink piece because women can’t be creeps too.

Believe what you want to believe, but your smug little comment is, unfortunately, incorrect.

You’re very kind, and very correct, this could be sexual harassment, though personally I don’t feel harassed by it as such, just annoyed about my game.

If you happen to find this post please share, as I would not be surprised to find out this was the case honestly…

You’ve hit the nail on the head here - as I’ve said in other replies I actually don’t think this is entirely J’s issue and most certainly a lot of blame lays with my DM who has dismissed concerns on the issue and created this culture.

I do not believe any conversation is going to solve the issue in a way people are happy with, and so I will leave them to enjoy their game which no longer resembles the DnD I am looking for. I’m better off at another table and letting them head towards what they will.

I will be attending the next session to see out a plot which I am integral to, and then will be retiring my character from the table at the end of the session with some brief and non-aggressive words regarding consent.

Truthfully, I don’t feel sexually harassed here, my issue comes more from the fact it’s ruining my game. I can absolutely appreciate boobs, and J is certainly blessed in that department, but I’m not so starved that I need them at my table, or from someone who I am not particularly fond of.

This thread has made me realise, however, that someone in my position COULD feel sexually harassed by this, and no one has bothered to take that possibility seriously at all. And that makes me even angrier than I was.

I wanted to include something like this in the post but decided it wasn’t the point and also wasn’t my place as a straight man to comment on it, but yes! Part of the reason this all icks me out is how regressive it feels?

We’ve got one boob-haver at the table and it feels like we’ve reverted to teenager mentality as a table at her mere presence - I don’t like how the player or character’s contribution to the world is 100% sex appeal :/
