Comments on Bannable Offenses: Sexual Harassment

Firstly I would like to acknowledge that this blog is satire and it frankly does it's job very well. So I am aware that this point of view is not meant to be taken in any serious capacity.

but I would also like to say that I have witnessed/been target of Sexual Harrasment on FFXI and it is not fun and definately is a punishable offence.
Yes, I'm a guy. yes my char is male.

Either way, nothing ruins a fun day of questing quite like haveing a party mate trying to initiate a cybering session with you. (And I was 13 at the time to boot) Now, whether the person behind the mithra was male or female I do not care. still creepy.

As for females getting extra help, it happens but I don't see it often. I'm more often on the receiveing end of help from others anyways. heh. (I'm a poor fisherman in the game.)

And finally: The insinuation that Males, either teen or adult, are incapable of not being perverts is quite frankly jarring. Make fun of the jerks and pervs sure... but don't generalise.

I would once again like to acknowledge that I am aware this is satirical. my comments are more blowing off steam in regards to certain social things.

Hey Dave, I've been reading your blog since well.....

2008-04-03T23:29:00.000-07:00

Hey Dave, I've been reading your blog since well.. since I started playing FFXI..

Yes. I'm a chick.
Yes. I was proposed to the first day i played.
Yes. He offered me a ring.
It was shiney.
And fit perfectly.

and matched my RDM getup smashingly.

However, no, i didn't accept or beg him to help me level or have him buy me shit.
Honestly. If you're female, breathing and simultaneously playing FFXI and you honestly believe you will not be hit on at least 80000 times a day...

Well...

You're a spoon.

My advice: grow a pair (of breasts, in this case) and get the hell over it and begin an exciting drinking game based upon the number of times certain players say such things as "bewbz, teh sexx, ladiez, girl, hot, etc."

Or just quit playing and become a nun.

seriously people. thats half the fun. the drinking games i mean. not the nun part. ::shiver::

(Hi, I'm going through your archives after being referred here from another "blog")

Is it bad that I recognize this as a bash.org classic quote?

(Shall we now call you Bloodninja? :-)

First, about this post:

As a woman playing FFXI, I usually do not get offers of gifts or gil from people unless they are friends. (While I can think of a few instances, most gifts are from my boyfriend.) Usually it's the opposite; people ask me for gil. :P

Then again, my main character is a mithra, so I think people assume I'm a manthra, when in reality, I'm not. Frankly, I don't care; I love my mithra character just fine. ;P I don't go around flirting with others and asking for gil or gifts in return. (Yuck. >.< )

As for harrassment, I never really received any. ;P Again, maybe it's people thinking I'm a manthra. XD

Anyway, I'd just like to say that your posts have always managed to make me smile. Keep up with the good (or should I say evil?) work! =)

I can't decide what's funnier, [GM]Dave's blog posts, or the people who fail at life.

That's a total lie. [GM]Dave is funnier.

I'm going to bet that [GM]Dave's supervisor would know whether [GM]Dave was really a GM, and wouldn't have to ask. Think about that one.

tick tick tick tick... boom!

Aw! Now I'm covered in your exploded head. I hate that.

Also, [GM]Dave's real supervisor would not "Sry."

Not twice, anyway.

"Thx."

2006-04-25T21:06:00.000-07:00

That is pretty lame.

Seriously, I would cry if you lost your GM status. I don't even play FFXI and I would go out and buy it now if only to be subtly abused by you. Not really.

I'm cheap and stick to Guild Wars. Would transfer out, but I've got too many friends on it now. Can't just abandon them.... or can i? *rubs chin*

Wow.

Just wow.

That was possibly the most idiotic reply that I have read yet.

You fail at life.

Heh, one of the genuine reasons that I've called a GM. I was getting humped in an exp party by someone after I asked them to stop.

I'd expect it if I was a mithra (and hell, kinda encourage it on my mithra mule), but my main is a tarutaru. If I had been wearing Combat Casters instead of Seers, it would have been impossible to tell my gender at all . . .

On the woman's side of this I'd like to say I've never accepted gil or items w/o first telling the person they don't have a chance in hell cuz i'm married in RL and my husband plays the game.

On the other hand. I hate some of the girls on this game. I even hate some of the manthras on this game. People seem to forget alot of the players are teenagers (read: walking hormones) and they can't help it sex is on thier mind 24/7.
GM Dave is so right. Girls/Manthras buy a clue. He's not your daddy fix it yourself.

2006-04-25T17:01:00.000-07:00

Girls are evil in FFXI. They purposefully accept all the help/money/gear you give them, then they tell you they have BFs irl, or that they only like you as a friend and to stop sending them /tells or they'll make sure you'll never be able to walk Jeuno in peace. . .

2006-04-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

Before any females even start, I fully acknowledge that I am a terrible person.

It's part of the job.

Actually, it's question 2b on the application form.
