You know even persistent courting should not be held as harassment. I was born thanks to persistence. My grandfather courted my grandmother until seh noticed him, and my mother was very persistent with my father.

"Persistent courting" is the definition of harassment, regardless of the outcome. Yes, sometimes harassing someone will get you what you want. That doesn't make it a good idea or an acceptable behavior.

And my best gal-pal, whom brought me Hibiki whisky on her way back home from Taiwan still very much remembers in an admiring way a Tokyo taxi driver whom accepted to drive her, and her dad, from the airport into town one year past, during that snow storm.

She said it took a few hours - after they already queued for a taxi for a few because of the blizzard- yet the taxi driver apologized for it having taken so long. When she was very thankful someone accepted the fare.

So there.

Hope you would feel cool about your gaming going fwd - casual, hard-core or what not. Only when you state "Japan" I assume you are from there. And that you could be that taxi driver my friend remembers admiringly year plus on...



Edit: spelling. "show" to "snow".

If I accepted what you say it would imply that my whole life is the product of wrong doing and that there was no love between my relatives. There is a thin line between both, but are not the same. Refusing to give up and being creepy are not the same.

But that is because create opinion, creates a market, in which part like 34 pages ago you guys didnt read that all this is about open the market for make more money? Do you guys believe there is any problem of "SOCIAL RIGHTS" on VIDEOGAMES? ON VIRTUAL WORLDS? THE SAME PEOPLE THAT SAYS "HEY NOT EVERY RELIGIOUS PERSON IS THE SAME" APPROVING PATRIARCHAL RELIGIONS BUT LATER MAKE A BIG DEAL OF THE ASS OF A SUPERHERO WOMAN AND PUT EVERY SINGLE GUY AND GIRL IN GAMERGATE AS DANGEROUS AND PERNICIOUS?

IS LIKE THE CIGARRETE THING IN THE 30s, "THE TORCHS OF FREEDOM" https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2012/02/27/torches-of-freedom-women-and-smoking-propaganda/ is about MAKE WOMEN CONSUME VIDEOGAMES! is about MONEY!

By your logic, All my teachers and parents are harassing me, regardless of the outcome.

I find studying very consuming and listening to their advice hurts my pride. I don't want that if I can help it, but because of their "harassment" I become a better person and able to make myself a better life.

That is not the definition of harassment. Turns out it's not even close. Did you even look it up before typing that out?

Here's a legal definition:

harassment

(either harris-meant or huh-rass-meant) n. the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill, or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone fearful or anxious. Such activities may be the basis for a lawsuit if due to discrimination based on race or sex, a violation on the statutory limitations on collection agencies, involve revenge by an ex-spouse, or be shown to be a form of blackmail ("I'll stop bothering you, if you'll go to bed with me"). The victim may file a petition for a "stay away" (restraining) order, intended to prevent contact by the offensive party. A systematic pattern of harassment by an employee against another worker may subject the employer to a lawsuit for failure to protect the worker.

I bet that gum lost it's taste a long time ago if you have been chewing it since the inception of this thread.

So basically by that definition many SJW are Harassers

You get a free pass if you can show your SJW membership card.

I cant believe my joke GOG mix reached 26 votes. At least 26 persons like it. And since some of the games on that mix are listed on few others, it is very easy to track it and update it.

and what about puppeting/manipulating target's friends so they act as your personal army to speak to target on your behalf anddrive target into dating you ?

doest it falls in what you call either "persistent courting" or "harassement" ?

i ask about it to such an expert as you are, as i felt victim for such trick because of someone who tricked my friends into pressuring me to date this someone
i dont call that harassement, i call that sick and disgusting selfish manipulating scam ! and i only figured out the whole stuff afterwards
what should i ever expect from soneone that is ready to go that far to chase after personal little selfish delusion dreams/fantasy/wants ? (without second thought to the target except for reducing it to a simple object or token of one's own fantasies)

since then i never let anyone getting close to me in fear of being tricked a second time because as the saying goes, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
since last two decades i had been fortifying my life against any intrusion or siege attempt and now i accepted the idea of dying alone and unmissed. Because it's too late to undo it and go backwards.

don't BS me with your little "persistent courting is rape" thing ok ?
