Questions for a female gamer

[Maxpphire]

I don't get the same kind of harassment as a girl would at convetions, but I definitely just straight up avoid conventions/micgaming etc. because people are assholes. They're just assholes about different things depending on gender, I guess.

While I've never heard all the "I'm gonna rape you" bullshit myself, I have had people tell me they're going to climb in my window, slit my throat, and rape my family. And shit of that nature. Cons are shitholes.

Edit: Social situations are shitholes.

Lets just say, I was sexually harassed by one of my co-workers working at a con once. And by sexually harassed I mean, I was sharing a room with him, he started to ask questions about who I was in general as a person, then the questions got too personal. I then had to get ready for my shift, so I went to the bathroom to take a shower, a few minutes in he asks if he can use the bathroom. I said sure because I live with people who have gastrointestinal issues so I'm used to this. He didn't even use the toilet, he just continued to ask more personal questions then attempted to peak at me in the shower. I told my two Boss figureheads (one if the owner of the company), and after my shift, I kicked him out of the room then proceeded to have a mental breakdown because of past events where I was actually raped before (It happened about 4 years prior to this event, so I've already pretty much gotten over the fact that it had happened, but it can still be triggering at times like this).

It isn't so much of a "I'm going to rape you" type of thing but uhh "Let me ask you a bunch of really personal questions, and get too close into your personal space" type of thing that can seriously make someone feel unsafe.


Also how to get a panel at the con: I dunno, this Con specifically asked my company to do a Panel, I'm sure if you actually look at convention websites enough time in advanced, they have a way to be able to make a panel.
