Current Events > The #metoo movement is even rooting out creeps in MMOs now

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.pcgamer.com/prominent-final-fantasy-14-community-leader-accused-of-blackmail-and-sexual-harassment-by-over-a-dozen-women/

Over a DOZEN women have been victimized by this pervert. And he wasn't even a small time creep either. He ran one of the biggest FF XIV sites out there. :/ I even used some of the guides posted there. It all feels so unclean. And now this guy won't let go of the social media handles for the website, so the rest of the creators will probably have to start a new site altogether.

Moral of the story: trust no one.

To be fair I don't think anyone needed metoo to know that creepy dudes exist in MMOs

I was a lurker in a topic on a final fantasy board that involved a guy stalking some ex-guildmate to the point he got banned

Lol found it in my archive https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/678050-final-fantasy-xiv-online-a-realm-reborn/75792676. Huh it's the same game too >_>

Yikes what a weirdo.

Old dude actively sought out vulnerable women
Got them emotionally involved by being super sweet and supportive when they needed it most
Became abusive and stalkery after awhile if they so much as dared do something he didn't like or talk to anyone else, classic isolation
Use his position with a very popular fansite to further harass women who did work for the site

And he had friends to help him harass the girls too. What a sicko.

At least it's easier to prove this shit on the internet when they use their known accounts.

this actually seems like a legitimate case if the allegations are true, which makes it sad that a lot of people will roll their eyes when they read "metoo" and "mmo" because of so many examples of crying wolf and even people who get banned from stuff like twitch and playing magic the gathering for silly ideological reasons
