Get featured on XBOX Live and receive disturbing hate mail
If you have an XBOX 360 and use it for online gaming, you’ve probably seen the gamer spotlights in the dashboard. It’s something I’ve personally thought was pretty cool. Myself and members of my GrifballHub website have even been researching the possibilities of being featured. After reading this recent story over on Destructoid though, I may have second thoughts about it.
Apparently once you’re in the spotlight you can expect to receive some pretty offensive and disturbing hate mail – both written, spoken and video. A female gamer who was recently featured said, “I did receive a lot of negative comments after my spotlight. A lot of them were because I am a girl. Also there were a lot of inappropriate sexual comments.” Worse than that, apparently some of the offenders decided to take it even further than that, using their XBOX video cameras to send her “naked crotch shots”. That’s pretty sick.
If you’re like me and having been considering the idea of trying to become one of the spotlighted gamers on XBOX Live, you might want to reconsider.
Wow, that’s incredible that they can get away with borderline sexual harassment crap like that.
