A woman who received a nasty message from a total stranger after leaving a game review has spoken out and revealed how she contacted the man’s mother in order to teach him a lesson.
As Kallie Plagge who works in the game industry revealed, she is often verbally harassed by men who think they’re smarter than her.
In one recent incident, a 37-year-old left her a vile message simply because he was displeased with the game review she wrote for GameSpot.
This time, however, Kallie decided to teach the abusive man a lesson and went on an online search for his mother.
After finding her on social media, she sent her the following message:
“Hello! You don’t know who I am, but your son does. I thought you might want to know the kinds of messages he sends to women he doesn’t agree with. He sent me this because I wrote a review of a video game.”
Along with her own message, Kallie also attached the screenshot of the man’s vulgar message.
After the man’s mum saw Kallie’s complaint, she responded by saying:
“I am so sorry. He is 37 years old and I am so going after him. He differently has problems. I will straighten him out!!!”
After the text exchange, Kallie shared her story on Twitter where she was backed by thousands of people who couldn’t believe that a 37-year-old man could come up with such a rude message over a video game review.
“It was very much just that guys wanted to find an excuse to say sexist things to women. I don’t know any women in the industry who haven’t experienced something like this,” Kallie added, opening up about the matter in an interview with The Daily Beast.
“It varies by how outspoken you are on Twitter, for example, but I think we all get demoralizing comments, whether it’s about our appearance or about the things we say.
“And my philosophy on it is I’m not going to just lie down and be silent. I don’t want anyone to forget that this is what we have to do to do our jobs.”
