K.E.N (Keep Everything Nice) A Campaign Against CyberBullying & DOUCHES

Basically my son has been cyberbullied on Online Gaming. He has Aspergers which makes him extra vulnerable to bullying...

He told me about this campaign where online gamers basically tell eachother if someone is being nasty/swearing to upset someone or ganging up on them and all the campaign members online at that time warn this person that he should STOP.... and if he DOESN'T stop... that they will all MUTE his swearing/verbal abuse and ALL quit the game and go play elsewhere WITHOUT THE BULLY

This has GREATLY helped my son. He now feels safer.

If you are interested...I will post more.

P.s I hope you know what a DOUCHE is... my son says thats a term gamers give to those that spoil their gaming.

A douche is a post sex vaginal washout that women in the 50s used to reduce pregnancy risk. Also a misguided attempt at female cleanliness post sex. Wish you'd never asked eh!! (Wish I didnt know but read book on feminism called The Womans Room)
PS Good for DS and above webside.

The sexist terminology comes as no great surprise (sigh) but at least it's protecting your son and other vulnerable people.

I know a few aspie game players and would be interested in you posting more, MrsF

thanks...

its such a 'double edged sword' for me.

I am so aware how hateful the internet can be.... but ... when you have aspergers...socialising in real life is so hard...and online is so easy....

I keep convincing myself that 'at least he has friends'...but tbh i'm not happy...and when he has a 'misunderstanding' online even 'harmless' twitter becomes a nightmare.

I'm 'lucky' my son invited me to join twitter to 'just be there' ...i have tried to help him a few times...and feel i really made things worse- as its hard to just stand by at watch.
so really...i'd rather not see what goes on online...but at least i can be sensitive to his mood...and often can link it to the 'twittering' he's involved in...
