Feminists launch campaign to tackle sexual harassment in gaming by threatening to hunt down the bullies. Backfires as they're caught scripting it.

"It seemed like a killer idea: combat sexist harassment in online video games by unleashing hit squads of talented female players to slay the bullies."

Sounds like something I'd think up in middle school, to be honest.

And NOW Chicago stands by the campaign and supports them. No surprise

Gamer here.

Of course they had to script it; sexual harassment in online multiplayer is extremely rare. When someone reports it, it's likely just because they got teabagged or something.

Wasn't it all found out to be fake, with the scenarios they used as examples of their efforts found to be staged and impossible, and all of it was discovered to be some kind of stunt to tell peripherals like headphones?

Makes the female-only LoL team look like professionalism in comparison.

Back when I was playing video games, I always kept game chat muted because it was nothing but 12 year old kids practicing swearing.

I guess games don't let you mute other players any more? You're just required to listen to them hurl insults at you?
