Episode 249: The Games and Online Harassment Hotline is Here to Listen, with Jae Lin

CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of harassment, assault, mental health, and other sensitive topics. Have you ever experienced harassment, online or IRL? Have you ever felt like no one could truly understand the very particular types of vitriol you have to deal with? The Games and Online Harassment Hotline is a service that aims to give gamers, game developers, or anyone else who lives in the games community a tool to find support -- and most importantly, someone who listens, understands, and believes. My guest, hotline coordinator Jae Lin, joins the 1099 to discuss how the hotline came together, how it tailors its services to the unique (and universal) challenges that the gaming community faces, and how the lessons of the past can strengthen our future efforts.
