Why Women Aren’t Welcome on the Internet NSFW

2. The hell?

I've said this before, but one of the reasons I haven't bought an X Box One yet is I've heard about these things where they threaten women and I'm scared. I used to play online, until they came out with the things where you can chat on a headset while you're playing. That's where a lot of the idiots do their babbling.

One good thing is, though, a lot of people are starting to become aware of this kind of thing. It'd be a shame if more women out there dropped video games as a hobby because a few freaks ruined it for everyone. I grew up with early video games in the late 70s and early 80s, and to think we're at a point, where somebody is *playing a game,* for pity's sake, just a game, and someone else has to threaten them over that.

I'm glad men like Chris Kluwe and Adam Savage are talking about it, too.
