What kind of sausage? For grilling?
Study finds that 74% have been harrassed in online muliplayer games.

Well the company that conducted the poll is called "Anti-Defamation League". That should give you a hint as to whether they are gathering data and making conlusions out of that (i.e. science) or they have a narrative to push and are gathering data that support that narrative.
(spoiler - I looked at their website. No, it's not a scientific study.)
More importantly, whichever kind of toxic sausage it is, why oh why cant we censor it already?
Well, according to SJW, aren't all sausages toxic?

Holocaust denial and antisemitism instead of plain racism? You have an agenda too...
The dirty great big beefy kind.
You have an agenda too...
Not really, but bigotry is bigotry whatever shade it comes in.
This has probably already been posted here, but I'd like to make a couple very important points.
1. The games that are listed in the report as being the safest include Fortnite, however the second most influential game which causes players change their online behavior to protect themselves is also... Fortnite. I'm having a hard time digesting the data analysis that these two seemingly conflicting statistics suggest.
2. Why the heck is it in here? All of the games listed are mainstream games. Elite is almost off the grid in comparison. The statistical measurements are from an entirely different population. It would be similar to biting into an orange and reporting that this apple tastes like crap. (Yes, it's like comparing apples to oranges).

Not really why I posted the image...but a clever tactic all the same using it to artificially reinforce your standpoint.
Personally....I just think folks are becoming way too precious with the internet filling their constant need for attention. ...But, I'm old and from a generation where home telephones were a luxury and only the rich folks had colour TV's.
The world's changed. Younger folks will have never experienced a world where there was no Internet. With this in mind the "online" and "IRL" divide is not as strict as they used to. See: the whole kids/Fortnight premium skins thing, where kids who don't have the nice skins are, essentially, bullied for it (by both "IRL" and "online" peer groups that are often fluid).
I work in tech. I got my Computer Science degree just before the WWW was invented. The world has changed, and some of the ways in which it has frankly disturbs me. What we, as old gits, see as a luxury is an integral part of life for kids - they do not control their environment so they have little choice in engaging.
As a straight white male who doesn't really play multiplayer or MMO games, the window that randoms have to abuse me is pretty minimal.
I have no answers to any of the questions that this brings up.
Well, the "Study" also say 74% players have been harrassed in online games" and "88% of players have been satisfied with their experience in online games" in one breath.
This study really doesn't tell you much. It's just random numbers and ridiculous conclusions.
Keep the dirty, gimme the juicy ones! We shouldn't feel bad for liking juicy sizzling sausages with a touch of smoky aroma.
I like oranges better, too. Keep your apple. I mean I like apple soss, but a meaty orange - I'd take that over apple any day.
But to go with beefy, juicy sausage? No fruit please - for that I take a good (!) ketchup. Gotta emphasize "good" here, the kind that flows thicc with tomatoes and not some industrial filling stuff. Or a nice mustard. Sausage and mustard - that is like honeymoon after wedding.
Excuse me but are you being bigoted against certain types of ketchup?
THAT'S IT!! I'M OFFENDED! I NEED A SAFE SPACE!
(Someone call the waaaaambulance)
All joking aside, I'm partial to knackwurst covered in mustard on top of a bed of sauerkraut sauteed with a whole stick of butter. Jus sayin
Sounds good to me. I approve.

It's literally his role in the film, I thought it was very ironic that you use a bigot to artificially reinforce your opinion of the thread, without actually adding anything beneficial to the discussion.
Drive-by trolling is the term I believe.
Talking of food...I'm having currywurst for tea
Up until I posted the meme...which superficially and visually mirrored my thoughts and feelings on the entire subject matter, I hadn't offered any opinion. The one I did suggest as a personal take on the entire matter still stands. Folks are getting way too precious.
I was born 10 years before the Apollo moon landings, folks lived in close communities where everyone knew eachother, were mindful of each others privacy for the main...kids got fed at whichever house they ended up in at tea time and all knew the woman in the old cottage in the forest was a witch...simpler times in which my mind and attention still hold to the values of personal privacy as well as decency.
I was also a soldier for my entire adult life...and believe me when I say I've seen the absolute best and worst of humans as a species on a first hand basis...so the idea of a focus group survey suggesting how folks have been harrassed playing computer games on the internet as being food for serious thought or consideration....nah. I have persistent flashbacks of what people will do to eachother that would turn a good many folks pale.
Not too complicated really and I would suggest.... neither am I.
