      People react based on perception of a situation. You clearly have understanding that the actions are not acceptable or normal. You are intentionally pushing a situation that you know is not perceived by the fast majority as acceptable in society.

      I see this topic we are talking about right now (complementing women) you have made a topic <other post about> and you blame SJW’S, I am in no way one “sjw”, but if my wife tells me this guy keeps doing things, Law Enforce will get involved, stalk her I will be where its happening to protect her, and I will protect her from a threat. I think most people would defend a loved one (man, woman, child). Nothing to do with SJW it has to do with protection of a loved one, from someone who’s actions are not normal.

      You understand long before these acronyms and pc terms there was what was known as “Polite Society” and certain things were acceptable and certain things not.  Had someone walked up to my Grandmother and said something she might have blushed, or smiled or felt threatened, who knows. If she felt threatened or like you were coming on to her she would have told my grandfather. You would not have enjoyed what followed and that was in the 1930’s and 40’s. This is not about now but about Hundreds of years of Polite Society.

      I would also do it for any woman or child who came up to me on the street and told me some guy was following her making remarks. I do not care what the remarks all I care is someone is feeling in danger, I may not even know the girl or kid, but if a person is feeling threatened I would have no issue Protecting them until Law Enforcement arrives, they can sort it out. But feeling bad for stopping someones actions that are making others feel uncomfortable or scared. Nope won’t feel bad at all, maybe that person needed the lesson to stop it.

        Discord is what you make it for the most part. Our community isn’t the biggest, but it’s a shit ton of fun. I’ll try to address most of the questions and issues that you seem to have and feel free to ask me anything as well, especially since I am the one who is running our Discord server and direct the mods as to how to approach and handle things.

        Then sometime later I decided to give Discord another chance then I heard about this thing called 2 Step Authentication which protects my account and the second time my Discord had no problems, heck I even joined the Geeks and Gamers community there but I got very little interaction with people there which got boring after awhile, heck I even tried to start a conversation with Jeremy Prime himself and he never responded back to me then I began hearing about censorship all throughout social media and the internet then I decided to delete my second chance Discord account.

        2-step authentication will be your best friend. It’s definitely the best way to prevent anyone from trying to access your account, of course along with a strong password.

        Jeremy is just now getting used to using Discord and is starting to be a bit more active. You do have to keep in mind that he is looking at Locals, the site, Twitter, Facebook, and everywhere else we’re at too, so you’ll have to be a bit patient with him being able to respond. He does see everything for the most part though, and what he doesn’t see, Krista and I see.

        Woke rules like I can’t talk bad about the guy running the country North of the USA who loves painting his face black or I’ll get banned. Or I can’t tell a beautiful woman on discord she is beautiful along with attractive unless I want to get banned.

        No, you won’t get banned for talking about politics, but we do have a specific channel for politics just to keep it out of the other channel topics since there’s a lot of people who simply don’t care about discussing that sort of stuff. As far as telling a woman on Discord that she is beautiful, you won’t get banned for it, but if you (you, in general, not you specifically) do happen to make someone uncomfortable and it’s brought to our attention then we will have to address it. I prefer to send a PM, but if something is happening too fast in real-time then I will openly stop it. Again, it’s always best to ask if you’re unsure.

        But what if the person who says these things doesn’t know or understand certain social skills like it isn’t natural for them as their brain isn’t wired like most other people and has autism or Aspergers? Is it not a human right to lack social understanding, cause to me and others like me our lack of social understanding is our diversity.

        We have a lot of folks who are ASD within our community, so you wouldn’t be alone and may actually find some others that you can relate to. My kiddo has Aspergers, so I am very familiar with that as well.

        On the server, we love to crack jokes and have a lot of fun, especially when we’re getting to know each other. I do ask people to have some thick skin when coming on the server (especially in the politics channel lol), but just know that I don’t tolerate bullying or ganging up at all. If you ever have those sorts of issues, always bring it up to me or the mods so it can be addressed as soon as possible.

        Also know that our server has a history of being raided by communities who.. don’t exactly care for us lol. I have done what I can to prevent a lot of that, but there are plenty of times where people can, and will, slip through the cracks.

        Other than that, that’s about it! As I said, feel free to ask me any questions about our server or even Discord in general and I’ll gladly answer them to the best of my ability.

        Okay I think I might give Discord a 3rd try after what you told me but I need to tell you about something in Canada that might affect all social medias including Discord and other parts of the internet. I know you have alot of people working for Geeks and Gamers from Canada that will greatly be affected by the bill if it passes.

        So I need you to bring this up with the Geeks and Gamers team on what to do with Discord and the other social medias if Bill C-10 passes in Canada. It is scarying me what this Bill in Canada may do to online communication.

        Maybe Jeremy can think up something or help get the word out?

        Could you please tell the rest of the about this?

          @Megazord_Jeremy thanks I’ll start looking into this :)

          Just remember that when you join the server, go into the channel that says #welcome and go all the way to the bottom to where you see this green checkmark at the bottom. Click it to give yourself the “Trusted” role.

              I tried searching for the Geeks and Gamers group on Discord website and all I found was Muslim Gamers, Gay Geeks, and Boardgame Geeks along with other stuff  that wasn’t Geeks and Gamers which began pissing me off because I couldn’t find Geeks and Gamers.

              Discord is really really pissing me off, I got so angry last night I began punching walls in my room out of frustration. The damned app wouldn’t even search and could only create a stupid group….I don’t want to create a group but that was all they had.

                @Megazord_Jeremy I’ll drop our Discord link here just in case you didn’t get my message, but here is the link: https://discord.gg/r3tDNCx

                We’re not searchable just yet cause we haven’t met the server member threshold (which is I think 7k members? Or somewhere around that mark). That link will take you directly to the server where it’ll prompt you to read the server rules and then you’ll have to go to the welcome channel to give yourself the trusted role in order to be able to talk on the server. If you don’t have a phone number attached to your account it probably won’t let you join, so if you don’t or it doesn’t let you join just send me a message on Discord so I can manually give you the role.
