beautiful disaster
I'm sorry but I have nowhere and no one else to vent this to where someone not only may care, but will empathize/understand...
Ive stated it before...I allow my 7yo daughter to play the human chars. on my main village (we have 3 including my mayor whom is named and modeled after her <3 she mostly plays as Oliver the boy villager we have)...and she enjoys going to the Southern Isles to CT and touring with others. My daughter is sweet, and trusting to a fault sometimes (I think her being on the autism spectrum has something to do with it...shes waaaaay to compassionate, trusting, caring, etc)..weve had the talks about internet safety and she abides by everything I ask and say regarding it.
HOWEVER.....theres always those people on the island whom seem to target and harass her...its usually girls that are slightly older, and boys around that age too...(ill say its prolly 8-12)...and tonight...as per usual...a bell beggar was harassing her...she being who she is...she "felt bad" for him...I kept telling her to tell him to earn bells like she does (SHE NEVER ASKS FOR BELLS...shes always fishing and catching bugs...I don't think it would ever even occur to her to ask someone for bells)...she asks me if she can give him 100 bells. I say ok fine and so she gives the kid the bells. He starts saying VERY SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS to my ******* e7 yo daughter. Threatening her...telling her he could hack her IP address from her 3dsxl and come to our home..kill me..rape me...and kill me *her mom*, it wasn't until she was HYSTERICALY CRYING that she came and showed me the stuff he was saying.
when I asked why she didn't block him, she said he claims that if she blocks him it will give him the DS' info that's registered to us. So she was scared to block him.
Of course this kid is full of it.I was so pissed, and I blocked him. I could care less about losing the bells but its people like this lil **** stain that ruins the islands for kids like my daughter. I don't understand WHY people bell beg, steal, ruin other peoples towns and the like I just don't get it. Why even play? whats the point of this behavior? I mean OBVIOUSLY these people are kids, but chalking it up to "kids will be kids" is BS, cause my daughters a kid and she doesn't do stuff like that! Its frightening to think of the sexual harassment that goes on!!!
Also, not too long ago when I myself playing as My Mayor, was on the islands, there were a few of us...and one was this girl who was if I recall she was like 13....maybe 15? anyways she was young...and she kept like yelling and cursing at ANY GUY who entered the island. Saying really horrid things, and I was ignoring her...fishing, touring, do my thing...that is till I see her saying that she was raped on the island by some other player. Giving out his name and town....I simply said that its impossible to be "raped" on the island or in the game, and asked if she meant he was sexually harassing or threatening her..she said "NO" called me a moron and stated her char had been raped. -.-
I (being a rape survivor myself) DO NOT FIND THAT FUNNY AT ALL. I DONT CARE HOW OLD THE PERSON IS. RAPE IS NOT A JOKE, ITS NOT A PLOY TO GAIN BELLS (which turns out is what she was trying to do, and it later came out that the guys **oh yes multiple, cause apparently she claims its some diff guy every time she goes to the island and gives out the name and town of guys she knows from her school** she said has done this, she knew and was mad cause none of them would go out with her....and she felt she deserved bells...so yea...I mean WHAT IN THE ACTUAL ****?!?!?!?!?! I was/am horrified. I just don't get it....I never in a MILLION YEARS would EVER think id come across stuff like this on here, I dunno why? Maybe the sweetness, pureness, and cutenesss nature of the game blinded me into thinking the type of people who would play said game may have the same type of 'ness' to them? I dunno...I just know I am disgusted and its not like I'm gonna let this stop myself or my daughter from enjoying the game...but it does taint it a tad.
END RANT.
