it may seem amazing or whatever, but i'm female and enjoy playing kdice. however along with other female players, i receive a lot of unwanted attention and abuse from having a picture of myself, not slutty, not erotic, just a picture of my face, as my icon.
i'm not overreacting here, trust me. i don't mind being told i look attractive. it's a compliment, right? too many in a day and it gets repetitive but, even so, it's no reason to complain. what i'm talking about here is moments like this, from maybe ten minutes ago. weedeater: i blow a loud all over the chich in the pick teal eramus: a loud? weedeater: load eramus: hrmm weedeater: lol weedeater: got excited weedeater: lol Sophalis: oh dear god. Sophalis: seriously. get a girlfriend or something weedeater: why weedeater: i can rub one out weedeater: looking at you yea.. i'm really fed up of guys thinking they can say things like that to me and other girls on here and get away with it. i'm not amazingly feminist but behaviour like that is disgusting and inappropriate. this is a dice game, not an internet chat room, and women should be able to play on here without sexual harrassment like the example i just quoted. i'd like to hear some opinions... thanks. |

If moderators had the ability to post permanent messages on someone's profile, then the kDice community could help regulate players with a tendency towards PGA/collusion, racism, sexism, etc... |

My point is that if you spend a bit of time on the internet, you tend to realise that many people aren't nice and say stupid, retarded things which they don't realise the impact of. Its up to us whether we want to 'encourage' this, or take steps to make sure it doesn't happen. You have the right to put your photo up, and you shouldn't be subject to what people have said, but its inevitably going to happen and I'm sure you expected it to a degree. That being said, it sucks that people are like this, and I hope you continue to play despite it. |
