Because some people see themselves and others as victims IMO. Where some of us see "dude, you could have just stopped", others see" omg poor dude they tortured you that's so sad". I think the so sad people are enablers for people who don't think.

I expect to at least see new guidelines from CCP about this sort of thing. If that doesn't happen you'll be happy to know I'll be cancelling my 8 existing subs and playing something else.

if a woman goes to a club gets drunk and raped is she a willing participant because she was naieve to her surroundings?

I would hate to be trying to explain to a cop, one who deals with real scumbags and has probably also been in war, why I was pressing charges (after ridiculing someone on the internet for several hours).

I can see the crew-cut battle hardened (and probably violent and dealing with PTSD) cop squinting at E1 and saying "so you feel threated by who? What? What are you talking about?"

You seem mad. Are you gnashing your teeth right now little fella?

The 'victim' CHOOSE to spew threats and racial hatred over the internet rather than click on an X and end his involvement/"torture" in the bonus room. That choice right there is many times more reprehensible than anything Erotica1 has done in the entire time he/she has played EVE, period.

I have many friends :)
Would you like to be one?
Sorry, DENIED!


If you think its the 20bucks he's freaking over, and not how he is being treated, it might be you who hopefully sees a mental health professional.

Decision quality is low when emotions are running high. His decision clearly wasn't premeditated. And it was more certainly solicited. We all know how this works.

Hands up everyone who can see a problem with demanding the CCP ban people on the basis of "They haven't broken any game rules, and they haven't broken any laws, but I find them personally distasteful"

May I politely ask you refrain from analogies like this? There is absolutely no similarity and I think it's not good to draw this parallel to Sohkar's experience.

Not once did Erotica threaten physical violence against his client.

Personally I don't give one crap what happens to someone ingame and in fact encourage any sort of behaviour that could be classed as "Darwinism"; filtering out the players who just can't adapt or survive. Having said that I draw the line at purposely attacking, bullying and near sociopathic behaviour. There's a difference between ingame dealings with a player and taking it all out of context and "toy" with a person in public.

Years ago Tank CEO got this guy on TS who then ended up going apeshit, but initially the outset was to just have a talk and try and clam this guy down, explaining some stuff. It just turned out to be hilarious and thus I have no issue with it. That link in Jester's blog goes way beyond that and while I normally would go "lol HTFU" this, again, does cross the line imo.

If it is true that he got his kids to laugh at this, that's unpleasant.

It's not close to on par with making repeated threats of real-life violence like people are in this thread.


Or the vomiting out of racist slurs and threats to kill by the contestant.

Decision quality is low when emotions are running high. His decision clearly wasn't premeditated. And it was more certainly solicited. We all know how this works. Erotica1 was out for tears, and got them. So happy to receive them, he released the audio.

---As I stated though, once the racism and death threats came out, laughing time ended and they were asked to leave.

... the community should self-regulate, I'm not even sold on getting CCP involved and/or especially the media.

This sums up my position nicely.

+1

this is exactly what E1 did.

Lured a vulnerable person to an out-of-game environment, and took advantage while recording.

Thank god it did not happen to an under-18. Then CCP would HAVE to get legal involved.

Sickening how close to kiddie **** creeps this is.
