Dear Guy Friends & Colleagues In Games: If you were one who told Jessica this was unprofessional, own it & own that you enabled Mentzer.

Do you know WHY you enabled him? Just like how, with that, you enabled ALL harassers and creeps? Because you protected them. Seriously.

When you tell people that raising awareness, even privately, for creepy & sometimes illegal behavior might threaten their careers? That's it. You're saying "If you don't let this continue, if you speak up, you're not worthy. You don't deserve to work. You're a High Risk Candidate."

Just suck it up, right? It doesn't matter if it's slut shaming, victim blaming, groping, or rape, saying something might get you fired. We are sick and tired, in all industries, all aspects of our lives, of being told that we should shut up and take it so we can stay working.

And every single goddamn one of you who had the sick heart to tell a woman she was doing wrong by speaking about this: You are the problem.

Apologize now. Don't wait. Don't waffle. Don't beg out. Apologize to the people you've shamed and scared into silence. Be better, damnit.
