Vigilante group plans attack on gaming misogynists

Quote: The Bully Hunters are a collective of women who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. They’ve teamed up to target in-game misogynists and trolls who harass women.

Describing themselves as a “vigilante hit squad of elite female gamers,” the Bully Hunters will be livestreaming their work on Thursday afternoon at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. The video above gives you a good sense of what they’re about (warning: it includes some strong language). The video warns: “If you think harassment is just part of the game, we know who you are, we know what you play, and we are coming for you.”

Online games spaces are notoriously hostile to players who identify as women. Now, CS:GO players who face abuse can report into BullyHunters.org. The team says it will then “infiltrate CS:GO and eliminate offenders from the game through the sheer force of their unmatched skill.”

A spokesperson for the group told Polygon that steps are being taken to root out bad-faith actors who might seek to disrupt the effort.

“Once a Bully Hunter is called into the game, they will have the ability to communicate directly with the victim and observe the situation before jumping in to ensure their help is indeed needed,” said the representative. “Most importantly, after the game, the Bully Hunter can evaluate the experience and rate if the request wasn’t valid. The tool will also have a ratings and reporting system in place so if anyone is misusing the platform they will eliminated from using it.”

The spokesperson added that the identities of the Bully Hunters team will be protected from retribution. “They are being assigned screen names so, when in-game, they remain anonymous.”

The initiative is partly an exercise in raising awareness about online abuse, according to the organization. “The Bully Hunters are spreading awareness about the prevalent issue of in-game sexual harassment to spur change,” added the spokesperson. “They hope that through more conversation, fewer online gamers will tolerate this behavior and work to put an end to it.”

The team wants to make sure they themselves aren’t seen to be conducting the sort of behavior they’re seeking to halt, however.

“The Bully Hunters will not incite or encourage additional harassment or abuse,” said the spokesperson. “They will only engage with harassers through gameplay and will eliminate them from the game using their skills and talent, not harassment.”

The effort is being promoted and supported by the National Organization for Women, the Diverse Gaming Coalition as well as companies that sell online gaming gear, such as CyberPowerPC and SteelSeries.

“Software companies also play a huge role in ending in-game sexual harassment,” added the spokesperson. “The Bully Hunters are calling on them to take action to no longer tolerate sexual harassment and discrimination in their games.”

Apparently women can't handle trash talk on CSGO. Yet another reason to boycott video games.

Also, did not realize females play CSGO!

Yowsers. This has no possibility of backfiring whatsoever.

When I lose online at video games, I don't get angry at the game. I just shut it off and slap my wife around a bit with my pent up anger.

Stupid bitch better have my dinner ready too or I'll pile drive her ass into the kitchen floor.

I saw them interviewing one of them and it was blue-haired female with big gauges in the ears.

Actually, this is good. Instead of taking their beef out-of-game, they want to settle it in-game. Nothing wrong with that, even though the people doing it are blue-haired fatties.

That being said, like Leonard noted, this can greatly backfire if the much better skilled male players decide to use their weaponized autistic powers.

I fear that at some point, they will start banning players for trash talk because it "discourages female participation" or something like that.

Everyone knows CS 1.6 was the ultimate ball busting paradise.

Fuck anything else, and seriously stop playing fucking video games and go do something else with your lives.

Of course it's ugly women, if you're attractive you're too busy getting blinded by eye surgeries and dying in airplane crashes taking selfies.

Post: #12

Enough joking around guys. These ladies are the real deal. Not only are they totally bad ass, but they're pissed off. Be careful out there - they know who you are.

Bullyhunters.org mission statement

Quote:21 MILLION FEMALE GAMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SEX-BASED TAUNTING, HARASSMENT, OR THREATS WHILE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ONLINE.*
AND WHILE MANY BRAVE GAMERS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS TOXIC BEHAVIOR ON THEIR OWN, IT CONTINUES TO PLAGUE THE GAMING COMMUNITY. THE BULLY HUNTERS STARTED AS A PRO GROUP OF FEMALE GAMERS WHO CAME TOGETHER TO DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO, FORMING A VIGILANTE IN-GAME HIT SQUAD WITH ONE SIMPLE MISSION: TO BEAT BULLIES AT THEIR OWN GAME. WHAT STARTED AS A SMALL TEAM HAS BECOME A GLOBAL TOOL TO CONNECT VICTIMS OF BULLYING WITH ELITE GAMERS WHO CAN COME TO THEIR DEFENSE IN REAL TIME. WE INVITE ALL GAMERS WHO WANT TO STAND UP TO HARASSMENT TO JOIN US AS BULLY HUNTERS AND HELP BRING AN END TO TOXIC BEHAVIOR.

So real life girls who are online fake killing fake men in full gory blood and brain splattering fake detail are so offended that the real life guys that they dont know in real life but are fake killing in the fake world verbally assault their real life sensibilities in the fake world so they are banding together in the fake world to fight the real world offenses that occur in said fake world by more effectively fake killing the fake bodies of the real life guys the dont know in the real world with the goal of effecting real change in the fake world .... do I have that right?

Well when you put it that way

Upon further reading this Zombie Unicorn chick is another gamer thot who was in Playboy (I don't believe a spread or topless thank god)

This chick was using false data, fake user aliase's to create some wannabe V for Vendetta video to garner likes and followers.


In other words, attention whore gonna attention whore.

What women call bully, troll & harrassement is called just being skilled enough

Women so strong, independent and talented that they can't take criticism of their horrible gaming skills. Who put up money to make his video?

11) Aren't actually gamers, just Sarkeesian-esque hangers on who want to whine for the cause.
12) The few who game are really shitty players.

So, once again women invade a male space and demand that the men change all the rules to suit them.

This reminds me of the day the female "recess monitors" in middle school decided to listen in on the boys' basketball games. They freaked out at all the trash talk, took the "yo mama" insults literally, broke up the game, and punished all the boys.

It's ironic that for all the bitch-splaining feminists do about "understanding other cultures," they themselves have no understanding of how male culture works.

Don't visit France and expect them to know English. Don't wade into a male gamer space and expect Barbie Doll playdates.

I used to think they would be like one of the guys because of common interests but I'm discovering that female nerds (at least millennial aged ones) can be some of the biggest raging SJWs on the planet.

They move into a male space and then try to tone-police the shit out of it. The worst is when some of them become forum moderators and then proceed to play P.C. dictator.

Since they don't feel the need to act feminine, they just fall back into permanent bitch mode. They are just as rude and crude as the men they criticize, just in their own holier-than-thou way.

It's another losing cause. 99.9% of the video game market is made up of sad dudes. None of the actual companies will give a fuck aout zero percent of their revenue. It's business not politics. If it isn't they are done already and are grasping at SJW straws.

On second thought most of those steroided up thumb jockies are very thirsty, it might happen. For a second until the real world sets in.
