Female Gamer "Sexually Assaulted" While Playing PS3

[Dommyboy]

So, was this the first time these two ventured on to the internet? I get sexually assaulted all the time in online gaming. Tea Bagged in Halo 3 and CoD, have giant penises launched at me in Garry's Mod, somebody attempting to sodomize me with a knife in CSS; but crouching around near somebodies arse and following them? That's too far.

Why does this griefer get more news than any other?

Why didn't she blocked him?

I don't know if you can block visibly seeing a player.

Kinda reminds me of the first time I played WoW. 5 seconds into the game and this huge Tauren dude came up to me and drew his axe, and me not having played an MMO before thought he was gonna kill me.
Then he kissed me and ran away.

home sucks anyway

This is the weirdest thing I've heard all day. I mean, really? The "harasser" was probably ten years old.

Why is Australia still allowed to have opinion on things?

What do you mean by that?

"I disagree with this. Your avatar is a digital extension of yourself to be sure but we cant start confering human emotions and capabilities on them, your avatar is no more capable of sexual assault in say Home than he is of murder in an FPS. Griefing has been around for aslong as multiplayer"


THANK YOU! Some people are just like that... but you can't make a big deal out of it.
God people... the more you play into this the more power you give this random ass.

If you were sexualy assaulted in home then I was murdered about 200000000 times in all the games I've ever played online.

Thank you Epitome! Thank you.

Ok it's probably a bit of a stretch to call this sexual assault, however it still is inappropriate behaviour and should be dealt with; preferably swiftly and harshly.

It's silly to make a big deal, but it's also sad that gamer's aren't mature enough to not do this. it's pathetic, and you should really just feel sorry for the guy.

Reading the title kinda makes me think of how much inapropriate touching takes place whenever I try to play LBP (or any other PS3 game) with female friends...

I weep for humanity.

I don't like playing online with strangers for this reason. If I'm playing say, Counter Strike Source, or Battlefield 1943 (which typically draws a heavy male audience), if I talk into my mic, I get verbally harassed to the point where I cannot enjoy my time playing. I have to quit and find something else to do. In home, I had to make a male avatar to keep the dudes that enjoy using the Running Man emote directly behind my avatar (so it looks like I'm being butt-humped).

Is what was described happening in Home sexual harassment? I'd say it's a gray area. It's definately harassment, but sexual? Mmm, no. Home allows users to report and block text from users. But nothing about their avatars interaction with yours. Personally, I'd say if you block them, your avatar should just disappear to them. So they cannot see you to harass, and you cannot hear their snide statements.
