Comment on Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless.

I’m a dnd fan, so ofc I played the MMO. Within the DND MMO, I had no harassment as a woman on a mic. In fact, it appeared as if ~50% of those playing and on mic were women. Granted, that was years ago. And maybe DND was, and is, a different scene.

Way back with vanilla and BC WOW, same though. No issues and lots of women playing. Self moderated social groupings, probably.

Granted, there was a social effect of 1 woman on a mic drawing out all the other women, a social permission & safety element.

No idea what it is now though, I’m too old for it now. If it’s rampant with harassment, that’s just sad, for everyone.
