While I agree that having opinions shouldn't be a bannable offense, there is a time and a place for opinions. I'm sure no one really wants to engage in debate over how we treat mentally ill people in society or politics on a forum devoted to the video game Team Fortress 2.

I agree but when there is a group of people who harass 1 person for months it should be dealt with

BBiA_duchessGetawhaleGonna make sure the admins see this thread and deal with the accounts, also going to make sure to forward to Jill at Valve.
Steph's been a sub of mine for over a year, she's pretty active in Discord and all that. I stand by her and support her 1000%, as I do with any and all trans members of my community, or gay members, or non-binary, or members of different ethnicities. You know - people. Is she perfect? No of course not, nobody is. But for a 17-year-old kid, I think she does pretty well. And she's actually gone through some pretty tough shit and many hurdles in an attempt to get shit right with her self-identity, at a relatively young age. I'm proud of her.
I'll do whatever I can to remind these useless shitty young kids that they are 100% on their own, and that absolutely nobody supports or likes them or their toxic attitudes towards people. I'd love to see them try to harass people like this in person, but they never will. They need that keyboard, you know how it is. It makes them invincible.
I do still see lots of transphobia and jokes from people in this community that I otherwise like. And I don't mean kids, I mean people in their 20's. Not going to name names, but it's 2018 - time to grow up guys.
These kids posted that Steph is in my Steam group in that one screenshot, I guess because it's still 2015 to them and they think getawhale is still a good joke on TFTV. But I'll gladly stand here and let you know that my stream and community has a zero tolerance for hate speech, which especially includes homophobic and transphobic jokes or language. We welcome good people regardless of who or what they may be, folks from all over the LGBTQ spectrum, and the atmosphere is 100% friendly to all decent people. We don't welcome idiotic kids who still haven't grown up and just want to make people rage. I welcome others to take the same stance. That's about it.

So I joined and said that, pretending not to know he was streaming. Dane rolled with it. Comedy homies.

Everyone gets harassed at some point, people just use gender, race, age, sexuality as further ammunition.
People here will probably go up in arms about this comment, but it's just the internet, if you got any tiny reason for people to start name calling you, they will do it, thick skin is needed - This is the reality of the world, it's full of cunts.

There is definitely a difference in scale of the amount people get harassed normally and how much people who aren't white guys get harassed.
Irrelevant of thick skin or not it doesn't make it okay to harass someone for being female/trans/black/gay etc. etc.
And to centre people not having thick skin as being the problem over the people doing the harassing seems a little weird tbh; we've literally seen quality players/content creators like Tagg pushed away from the game due to this shit and I think it's wrong to say it's his fault for not having "thicker skin" over the people doing the actual harassing.

I think that just trowing your arm up and saying "Welp, its the internet, nothing we can do" is going at it the wrong way.

stiff nipples must be activated when entering the Internet
Like what Hildreth said, everybody on the internet gets mocked for something, I know that the fact Steph was being harassed is bad but putting yourself out there like that is just asking for trolls to insult you, everyone on the internet gets their own serving of shit so I don't see why this should be that much different to anyone else...
Yea ppl on the internet are mean but its good to call out cunts on their shit behaviour and thats all this thread was.

Yup I am saying that, because it's true whether you accept it or not. World is full of cunts, deal with it or post for justice on the internet or ignore it, don't bother me none, either way you won't change human nature.
