r/wow Statement on Sexual Misconduct Allegations

As I am sure many of you are aware, there have recently been several allegations of sexual misconduct made against prominent members of the World of Warcraft community (and others in the wider video-game world).As was the case with the Blitzchung event last October, discussions around this topic do not fall within the scope of our subreddit rules. However, we recognize that sometimes circumstances arise where those rules should be laid aside for the greater benefit of the community. This is clearly one of those times.The moderating team of r/wow stands in support of those community members coming forward with their stories. We also stand in support of those who may be suffering in silence, be that out of fear or any other reason.Existing discussion threads covering this topic will be locked and cleaned up, and future threads will be removed. Please be aware that any comments that break any of our other rules will still be removed and sanctioned. This situation is serious and sensitive, and any comments not respecting that will also be removed at the moderation team's discretion.Resources for Awareness and Education Surrounding Sexual Assault/Harassment in Streaming and GamingPlease be aware that some of the following accounts contain graphic descriptions of abuse, including rape.Swifty:TakaritaNanokitten/KoozyLSascha:AnnieFuchsiaSweblissJosh:PoopernoodleWigglygigglesSlappedSpaghetti2Alexmae5GwenagerieZoeDalleAnonymousPlease message me directly if I need to add more links.Edit history:06/24, 21:30 CDT: Added content warning and link headers.06/24, 22:05 CDT: Added Takarita's link.06/24, 21:00 CDT: Added link to resource document.06/25, 19:20 CDT: Added Nanokitten/KoozyL's link and edit history.06/25, 20:47 CDT: Added ZoeDalle's link.
