It is a sad truth in our current society, that women get sexual insults and attacks and rape threats, added on top to the bullshit guys have to deal with online. And then of course you have the guys who tell them they "look so hot and totally fuckable..." whether they want to hear it or not, send unsolicited dick picks, try to "flirt" (or what they think is flirting) with them etc..Yeah, Devs need to be able to deal with plenty if they are going to play in the forums. I have heard though about some devs dealing with more than just game critique on this site and discord that is totally inappropriate. Especially female devs which are a rare enough breed as it is in this niche.
Apparently many men still think it is okay to act like this even in 2021. That stuff is often so repulsive and disgusting, that I just can't wrap my head around what is going on with these people to harass women with shit like this and often even seem to expect some kind of gratitude for their "compliments" and their asinine suggestions.
If I was a female creator/writer/actress etc.., I'd probably either choose not to engage at all whether on social media or specifically this forum, or I would go and put anyone who went off the rails even once on ignore or block him.
