Stalking, Harassment and how WoW mechanics help it

I dont understand,what does a stalker get out of stalking pixels in a game? clearly nothing.
giving him attention just makes it worse.

sense of power, it’s emotional, not practical. and while I agree that giving him attention won’t help the situation, it kinda becomes a problem if the right way of dealing with it, being via blizzard’s support, is not causing the problem to stop. If you got a stalker IRL, having the police solve it, is better. but if they don’t solve it, public outcry might be one of your last options…over yeknow, enduring the emotional abuse of stalking…which is also an option you could take but that wears people down, yeknow.

Sorry to do this backwards kinda replying but i don’t wanna turn it into a chatbox.
First of, guys can be stalked as well, and it’l lwear them down emotionally as well, go find some youtube videos on it, plenty of testimony if you wish to educate!

I dont know how that works since im not a girl being stalked.

Want me to stalk and harass you? >:3 No promises… But if its what you need to feel it… I might be able to help

I dont think that works on males dude (unless youre really special)
Words and behaviour in a game has never made me mad.
Only snowflakes gets that.

…I will make it work babe… Im onto you sugar.

I’m not surprised you think that. Stalking is emotional abuse, and alot of people who havn’t struggled with specificly or very similair forms of emotional abuse, may write it off as not real. some people, as with all emotional matters everyone racts diffrently, male stalking takes on diffrent forms than female stalking.
If you don’t want to be open to the possibility, that’s cool, can’t force some one to look into something they do not want to look into.
But I can say that it does happen, to relatively regular guys.

Sorry man im not a retail player,appreciate the thought tho.

Be strong mentally,if a girl stalked me i would just think its just my pet following me.

Nah, it’s simpler than that. When someone, particularly women, speak up against harassment, particularly from men, the guys like that get their heckles up because they see a mirror being held up to themselves and their own behaviours that are no longer being accepted by society and they panic.

They panic because they can no longer be misogynistic without consequence and that scares them so they turn to their only weapon and that is to victim blame. The woman is at fault simply for existing.

Of course this doesn’t exclude men who are victims of stalking and deranged behaviours, which does happen and can have devastating consequences. Men need to speak out too.

Yeah because, as we all know, men don’t have feelings or mental health :roll_eyes:

that’s the thing. Stalking, while having some ‘benchmark’ traits, is emotional. So even if some one is in fact stalking you, but you’re not experiencing it as such, then for that time you are not suffering the emotional/mental abuse of stalking. Part of alot of emotional trauma is also missunderstandings of “well I wouldn’t struggle with X”
great, good for you, i am glad for you that you could endure some things others cannot. but that doens’t make some one else weak, nor does it change the intentions of a person, and the effect something like that can have over a long time.

A rock doens’t move for of a stream of water, but it will eventually carve it in two over time.

You didn’t choose to be stalked, comma, however, you chose to be the victim.

Those that are susceptible to being stalked, hate confrontation and as a result, over time they become docile, very placid, timid individuals, and they would much rather pass the responsibility of defending themselves to someone else.

I would like to see the person that plays World of Warcraft that can get me to the point where I feel I have to report them, if anything, the contrary will happen.

Kiss me Dwigthr!! Kiss meeeee!! Mwuhaaa!! Mwhua… uah!! mhhmm

Sloppy sounds Mmhmmmmmm

nope when something is done to you against your will you are a subject of that person’s action. if that thing is negative you cna very much be called a victim.

Victim is defines as harmed (mental harm is harm) as a result of an event or action.

I know you might not agree with this but yeknow…don’t be a victim of that.

Mokey please go to donald and Gooby.

Some people just lack empathy. They dont get not everyone is like them and see from anothers perspective.

Regardless of it being more upsetting for another than it would be for them, noone likes dealing with someone constantly bothering them no matter how much you try to stop it. Its just exhausting to deal with ppl that wont leave you alone in peace.

I imagine there are things these posters cant deal with that would be nothing to another person.

Your not getting away that easily Dwightr…

Your here too stay…
