hi @all,
it seems to me the WP needs a mailingslist or other outlet for sex issues of all shades
since there seem to be quite a few who think it belongs in the gendergap list -
exclusively...?
best,

The BBC broadcast a half hour documentary on Saturday
called 'Guns, Girls
and Games' which deals with sexual harassment in video games.

Two of the women interviewed in the programme run websites which try to
highlight harassment and misogyny in online games:

They also briefly discussed the homophobia and racism present in some
gaming communities.
Incidentally, Xbox Live's response to homophobia is a perfect example of
how to not solve these kinds of problems. They simply made it so users
couldn't express their sexual orientation on their profiles. 'Cos, you
know, the best way to make gay users feel like comfortable and welcome
members of a community is to force them back in the closet for their own protection…
