Capitalization is a waste of time
weird, i thought you didn't care about blacklists https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/DGDX6bB, yet you're here dismissing the point i tried to make because you're angry.
go back to your bubble where you're so safe. i have to deal with this trash and live in constant fear when i go out because i don't even know if i will be back home after random guys catcalls or follows me at night in the street.
but of course, that's not your problem, so it's a non-issue.

since I am nice that way.
nah, you aren't. that's why you're still here dismissing everyone else's problems instead of ignoring this thread.
some people that defend themselves end up killed, if they can even fight back against their attackers. welcome to life!

Mully are you trolling here at the moment?
I don't even know you and for months people kept adding me on steam and asking me, about you and how you look and bs like that for some iditoic reason I still can't understand. To this date I pretty much told these people to fuck off. I wanted to add you and ask you about this and you ignored me. You keep ignoring me every time I try to communicate with you.
And once I posted something that you disagree with and you blacklisted me.
Now you come and say that Defi dismisses everyone else's problems?
Miss, she knows me from just a few months and she always listened and tried to help with my issues no matter how dumb and childish they are. I've seen her trying to help others she just met on the internet, this is a woman who had way harsher life than me and takes care of two children on her own. Are you seriously going with this type of stupid and childish behavior towards her?
Don't be like the modern feminists/liberals and be a human. Sure okay, we get it. You hate being cat called, you're scared someone might hurt you. There's ways to avoid that, for example you can easily go in groups with other people... Doesn't even need to be friends, just stay close to passing by people. Get paper spray if not anything else, or sign yourself in a self defense class, I heard it's actually good for your health/muscles as well!
You're becoming a bully than a victim with this behavior. And if you plan to actually reply to me for the first time in your life, avoid posting my old comments or speak about my behavior. I've posted enough times that I'm not a good person or someone who should be a role model.
Have a good night.

It's three although they all fall under the same umbrella theme.

I'm curious how you'd feel if one of your children was severely mentally or physically handicapped, and someone came along and said "Well shut up, there are kids starving in Africa. At least your kid has food."
That's exactly what you're doing here, and it's rude.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, you weren't friendly at all, and you weren't "nice."
You said "We all have problems. Welcome to life" to someone who was attacked on the streets.
Like I said. Rude.
EDIT: A "nice" person knows sympathy and compassion, even if they've never been through a similar experience. You've displayed neither trait here. You'd have been better off not posting at all.

Buddy. You do corpse jokes on your profile... please... You cant even end a conversation with someone you dislike with a 'Have a nice day'. Do you seriously speak about sympathy and compassion... I got more of that than you might ever... And that speaks a lot.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you're here to stalk, there's nothing interesting. I keep all the bodies out of sight in the basement.
Directly from my profile. If you can't figure out that it's not serious, you're the one with issues. You're grasping at straws, and regardless, it has no bearing on anything I've said here.
You cant even end a conversation with someone you dislike with a 'Have a nice day.'
I'm not the kind of person to beat around the bush, Kapy. If I dislike someone, I'll say so. Having said that, I don't dislike you or Missdefi.
Have a nice day (just for you!). :D

I said making jokes. Or you'll say thats not a joke and its truth?
And clearly someone who blacklists, dislikes. As the function is pretty much the idea of a block which is used for disliking people.
P.s im pretending and not being direct anywhere?

This is an important cause and I'm happy to contribute in this small way to raising awareness about it : )

I didnt read all the comments, granted, but what I saw is that this thread is an echo chamber. Different opinions are stomped to the ground, or made them looks like undeducated morons so your ideas prevail. I believe the issue at hand is important, but the delivery would deter those who would otherwise listen to reason. Just a thought.
Edit: I'm getting blacklisted for saying what I just said here. Doesnt feel it anything offensive so i dont understand why. Please guys, could you stop with this passive agressive method? Maybe i used poor choice of words, but I had no malicious intent

I'd bump, but I feel extremely like being contrarian for its own sake today, so I won't bump. No, I won't post here at all. :^)
What you're seeing here is a figment of your imagination. In fact, so am I. ;)
I'm sorry if my poor attempt at humor bothers you. As you can see, I'm bad at being funny. I accept guidance on how to be funnier. Or less unfunny. Yep, less unfunny also works. :D

Of cource blacklisted me for "autojoiner"
I didnt know that stuff until you wrote it. :P
Anyways, just really appreciated for some chances to joined GAs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it's just that you are so fast that you entered 2 ga and wrote ''Thanks for the chances!'' in the span of 4 secs. My bad.. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it's so bad to using ctrl+c ctrl+v and saying thanks.
I got the lesson for this.
just stay silent and entered like a ninja ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
First of all using that to say thanks makes the original action of thanking look bad. You make it look like a chore. Better not to.
Secondly you should start entering like a ninja. Your ratio ain't excactly sth i wouldn't bl in the first place.
The above are personal opinions ofc. Have a nice day!

π Giveaways (moved to top for convenient leeching π):
If you want to share giveaways, please use this template:
copy everything inside the ` (even the opening/closing `grave accents`), edit and and paste it in your reply
Please use the format provided above! It's easier for me to copy-paste multiple giveaways in this thread. π€
It will take me a few days to update the list. To avoid having your giveaway not "showcased" set its duration to more than 5 days (unless you don't care, it's up to you).
Because I'm tired of getting catcalled and watching others in the street receive the same treatment, I decided to share some information with everyone in SG hoping that they can stop doing it and/or talk to their friends to make them reconsider their behavior.
Street harassment is unwanted and unwelcomed public attention, most often directed at women, which is demeaning and damaging. Itβs not a private matter but one that should concern everyone.
If you have trouble empathising with strangers, then think about your mother, sister, or girlfriend. Would you enjoy watching people catcalling and telling them nasty things? How do you think they would feel about it?
On an average day I go out twice and I get at least one guaranteed catcall. On weekends or when I go out, for example to a club, it gets worse because groups of people feel more empowered to do so.
A few months ago I was walking with a friend and one guy said things and started to follow us. After a while it ended with me turning around and pepper-spraying his face, then running away in case he could fight back. This is the kind of violence it generates.
We had a rough rest of the day and were shaken up. I didn't enjoy doing that at all, but he had to be stopped. I also like to think the guy didn't enjoy it either.
So in the end, what did he achieve? Nothing.
Edit
OK, I'm gonna clear this up since some people like to assume things just to blame me for defending myself.
For the backward people, this was in june when I wasn't wearing "provocative shorts and t-shirts" clothes. These are the "nice compliments" I got amongst others i don't even want to repeat here and/or I want to forget:
hey girl nice butt
does your friend wanna F with me too?
hey reply bitch
come here lesbos!
GONNA EAT YOUR ASS
Walked one block with that guy which was 1 meter away from us. He wasn't shouting from the other side of the street, he wasn't half a block away, he wasn't sitting in the sidewalk. He was right behind us.
He got warned to leave us alone during the whole 1-block fast-paced walk. I didn't stop to "discuss" because I'm not a 1.9 meters 120kg guy, so I'm not putting my friend and I at risk at 8:30pm in the street.
You read the "You're not alone" thread?
Well, most of the stuff that I shared about me is linked directly to an experience related to this, but I wasn't walking with a friend and there were two guys instead of one following me. You can guess what happened next since I wasn't able to defend myself.
But of course, street harassment is harmless and nothing else can go wrong, nor it can trigger unhappy memories from past experiences.
Think a bit before judging others so quickly assuming they overreact when they feel in danger.~
I know I probably won't convince anyone catcalling to stop by posting this (it doesn't hurt to try), but if your friends or co-workers do it, you can persuade or talk to them and see if they get it. There's nothing worse than being in a group of friends and allowing them to act like idiots.
It's disgusting and demeaning, stop it. You're hurting people with your actions and makes you look like a fool.
β€οΈοΈ FAQ, in case you're gonna post one of these comments I get all the time.
- But some women like to be catcalled!
Yes, there's also men that like to get hit in the face with a hammer. So using the same logic, I should go out and hit all men with a hammer in hopes they enjoy it?
- Don't be so sensitive, ignore it.
No, it reaches a point it can't be ignored. It's not an isolated issue once per month or in certain situations so you can avoid it. It also affects me a lot depending on my mood, so when you feel like crap and you get catcalled, things get worse.
- So you want others to come to your rescue when some stranger catcalls you? That will end up with me getting in a fight!
I'm not asking people to fight for me, just them to stop doing it, spread the word, and discourage people in their group of friends from being disrespectful.
- If you don't want to get catcalled, dress appropriately!
1: Don't blame the victim.
2: I dress as I please. It's my body, not someone else's.
3: It doesn't matter if it's winter and I'm wearing a jacket, or summer with shorts and a t-shirt. Some people will be idiots anyway and say things.
- I bet you like it when a handsome guy catcalls you!
Irrelevant. I expect respect from everyone.
- What about men? They also get harassed!
I'm very aware guys also get harassed by both men and women, but this thread is about girls. Feel free to create another thread for that issue, and I will support it.
- So this is just a misandrist rant!
It's not. If you feel targeted by anything I said, then it's not because you're a man, it's because you actions ressemble what it's said here.
- Meh, it could be worse.
It could be worse, but it SHOULD be better. Also, normalizing this behavior makes it even more painful for victims.
- Women also catcall!
I never said they don't, but for each woman that catcalls me, i get 500 guys. So the issue at hand is the one I shared.
- This thread offends me!
That tells a lot about you. Log off, take your time, and think about it.
- This thread is inappropriate for SG, please close and delete it!
Go tell that to all other threads about awareness, politics, religion, sports, disasters, etc.
