To suggest this is nothing worth getting upset over is to accept that this kind of behaviour is normal, and it's not. In the same way juvenile and disruptive participants are kicked from comms and corps so should players who exhibit these kinds of attitudes and behaviours. Yes the community at large is responsible, but as part of that so should this be lead by CCP and corp/alliance heads. These kinds of attitudes and behaviours are toxic, and it disturbs me that we more or less turn a blind eye to this in how we see and represent the EVE culture.
I know this is not all of EVE players, but surely there should be an active desire to educate as to what is acceptable.
There are also more girls in goons than in most places. It's partly due to a larger population and also because our "toxic culture" has room for them to partake in.

Remember that whenever you have a bad day in EVE, the correct reponse is "Thank you CCP, may I please have another?"

Confirming it's also full of porn, which is illegal in real life in many countries, and definitely against the Eula.
Its not the forums you wingnut. Its harassing other players getting ENDORSED by your CSM rep, and tolerated by your goddamn alliance exec. Although we all already knew The Mittani iwas a shitheel when it comes to harassing people.

Firstly, women not girls :)
Secondly, just because there's women in a group doesn't change the 'culture' or excuse the toxicity.
I'm not singling out goons. As I said this happens in many corps in EVE. Point is its ugly, juvenile, and has no place. Humour can be broad without descending to this. The meta the same.

His 'being an MRA' was defending the actions of the people trolling kitty, so they're basically one and the same.
That he was baited into regurgitating dumb talking points was irrelevant.

Aryth's defence [that I was witness to] largely consisted of asking around to see who was doing it. When the conclusion was that it was largely non-imperium people doing the trolling, he dropped it.
He was 'defending' them by pointing out it wasn't them doing it.
Sorry that your witchhunt it pretty thin on this occasion

I'm sure this was a thorough investigation and I'm sure all the guilty parties admitted their guilt in this court of law.
(as a crass viewer it was frighteningly obvious at the time that it was CFC members (yes plural) doing all of this - but until the forum images came up there wasn't ANYTHING tying you guys to it).
but what would I know, I'm just a salvager

Yes humour is broad, but when it crosses the boundary to harassment, it's not acceptable. The only people you find defending these kind of actions are the hormonally and evolutionary challenged. I completely agree, CCP should step in. Mainly because it would be funny watching have the reddit posting community get banned along with the goons with bad taste in humour, hen doubly funny watching everyone be so surprised that plenty of non-goons are also horrible people and plenty of goons are good ones.

Although we all already knew The Mittani iwas a shitheel when it comes to harassing people. But you say that like goons are the only people doing it and like CCP should do something about what people talk about on third party websites, and private third party websites at that.
I still find it funny though that often the same people getting on their high horse about real life harassment have no problem using photos of Mittani in offensive material against him and have no problem attacking him over he real life career choices. Hypocrites aren't allowed high horses doncha know.

Saw several questions related to it, which boiled down to:
"Whats going on, is this us or everyone?"
"Pretty much just everyone"
"Well OK then"

The thing about third-party sites is it gets very messy linking that name on that site to this name on this site.
If people start getting banned over EVE-related stuff they say on a third-party site, stuff like this will happen:
1: False-flag operations. People will claim to be other players on third-party sites in an attempt to get them banned.
2: People will use bogus RL data on third-party sites so even a subpoena of records won't link $that_guy_there to $that_guy_here.
At best, a ban wave would be a propaganda victory and a thinning of the herd, though not the one the grrgoons types seem to want.
The Internet is a pretty free place. People like the ones in the OP (and the guys who knock severs offline to control the outcome of battles) are the kind which make for a very good pretext to take that freedom away.
Oh, if you like your Internet freedom, there are a lot better things to do with it, like fight over this idiocy.

This is where one would bring in intent.
People are claiming he supports and defends the harassment in question, while (even looking at the logs alone) it seems he's saying nothing more than that he is defending the alliance.
Never does he, or the logs, specify what he is defending them from. Hell, those quotes are from the part of the pastebin dump that did not have timestamps and thus are obviously not trustworthy as far as it comes to context.
Let's say you have a log that says something like;
A: "Did you murder C?"
B: "Yes, I did."
When the real logs actually were;
A: "Did you murder C?"
B: "No."
A: "But you did know C?"
B: "Yes, I did."
Whatever the truth of the matter is, you are all going into serious re**** territory.

No it wasn't. I was trying to point out how nobody there would've cared if Crasskitty were a man. That's not to say that you shouldn't object to it, but that you shouldn't object to it just because she's a woman.
And several of the objections in that thread you can plainly see are of the nature of "you shouldn't do this to a woman", not "you shouldn't do this". Which means I was right, whether you care to admit it or not. |

So why did he need to defend anybody in the first place? Who was he defending, non-emporium members?

Yet it is normal.
One of the positive things about the internet is that anyone with a average or higher intelligence has to be perpetually on guard against being normalised into it's democracy of fools. As tiring as any defensive posture, it encourages mindfulness.
