I think the fear is that they would Google her after the fact.

Well that's a risk for anyone that gives out personal information on the internet. Humans are curious creatures.

However, I doubt anyone is going to make an issue out of it if they do so. So Morgan won't know about it not would anyone else besides said person who did it. That type of thing doesn't really hurt anyone as long as no action is taken with said information. The person doing so is in the wrong for breaching an internet social contract, revealing that they did by contacting said person in real life context is when it gets even more obviously wrong, The revealing of the link between online name and real name, doxing, is of course wrong to do in most circumstances.

If someone posted anything anywhere about that with Morgan's real life information and whatnot linked to her online username, then I expect the mods around here being ready to punish said person who did it.

I think Morgan said earlier that she wants to make vidya, but doesn't want to be doxxed?

Yes, but here is someone really gonna to dox her?

I suppose since the site is viewable to anyone, there is a risk of some random guest doing so. However, I don't particularly feel like the users in here would do it.

I don't see what any of that has anything to do with you showing your face. Go ahead if you. If you don't, then don't.

Basically, it started as some sort of protest for "ethics in gaming journalism". However, it quickly became an excuse for people to harass female game devs, that sort of snowballed into death and rape threats being sent to unpopular female game developers and critics.

It attracted the same elements that any group eventually attracts.  It grabbed extremists, just like Feminism does, just like any political party, just like any religion.

I find it amusing because of just the sheer amount of anti-gamergate stuff I found was just as nasty (threats of violence, telling any minority that supported gamergate that they didn't exist, threats of doxxing, calling in bomb threats) as what they say gamergate people did to them.

If course the media is believed above all else, when the media is the thing being criticized. It's like a company being accused of something unethical and then going to said company and accepting what they say as the truth.

Of the accusation is the media is not following proper ethics then there is no reason for the media to report the truth if they are indeed not following the ethical codes that they should be following.


News media in general is completely unethical nowadays anyways.
It is about viewers and not being seen as biased, but at the same time giving biased reports because that's what appeals to most viewers for whatever reason.

I play. However, I play casual. I love multiplayer games of magic. Sometimes the occasional Planechase game thrown in.

I can't stand edh as it takes forever. Plus I like playing in free time between classes, and most of the edh games around last at least 3 hours. I saw one go on for 8 hours once because of the amount of field wipes.

Thank both of you.

I've been taking what undergraduate courses I can to prepare me on the reality of the career. I've done a course on the skills needed to be a therapist, which involved in class graded roleplays where one student was a client and another was a therapist. I took a course on Adult Psychopathology. Both courses were taught by a guy that was a professional in the field. He told us tons about what his experiences and others' experiences in the field were like. I talked with him one on one more than a few times about career advice and for more things from the field that he didn't mention in class.

I know Community Mental Health is going to suck. The professor explained that you usually got loaded up with as many clients as possible. You would have people show up for their first court ordered session and then never show up again. You would have addicts that came to you repeatedly that wanted to be clean, but just kept falling into the same patterns over and over again. You'll have people try to get you to say that they have a mental illness because they want a disability paycheck. You'll have clients that are doing great, but start to backslide because they start missing sessions because they can't take off work or they have to take care of their child. You'll have clients that are pedophiles or murdered one of their children. You'll have rapists. You'll have people confess things that you never wanted to hear. You'll have clients that just refuse to listen, but keep showing up day after day.

In spite of all that, I still want to do it. I understand that it won't exactly be the time of my life. However, it  is a step towards a private practice, which is something I want as an end goal for my career. Plus it will give me plenty of experience to  draw from when I do go into private practice.

1) That is true. Most people would say that they are good at understanding other people.
2) I haven't worked there yet, as it is hard to find much you can do without having your Master's, counselor license, or Doctorate. I tried to get into through my college's internship program, but there was no openings for positions in Community Mental Health that fit the requirements of the program that I could actually do.

Right now, I'm a frequently jobless college student.
This trend is probably going continue since for some reason I decided that having two creative writing courses and two literature courses along with my psychology senior seminar would be a fantastic idea.
I also have to study up for the GREs because I plan to start grad school next fall.


Eventually, I'm going to be a clinical psychologist. I will likely work in community mental health after I get my Master's degree. I'll work my way to being able to have my own private practice certification. At some point, I'll go for my doctorate because it is well worth it money-wise.

I really want to help people out. I just don't like people suffering. I could never be anything in the medical field as I hate dealing with vomit, saliva, poop, and pee. I don't like needles much either. Plus I like learning what makes people tick. I've always been good at predicting people's actions and generally at guessing what people are thinking about. It seems like the only path career wise that I could really take.

Hi everyone 

So it will be pretty easy to figure out who I am, since I kept sort of the same username from CYS minus the part that I hate of my CYS one.
I figured I would make an account here finally.
