Red99 brainstorm: how to deal with sociopathic, sexist, racist, anti-social behavior

[Tradesonred]

A female gamer journalist writes:

"A while ago, I realised that a lot of the people who send disgusting or overly sexual comments to me over the internet aren't adult males…It turns out that mostly they're young boys and the problem is they don't know any better, so responding to them rationally didn't resolve the situation. And it got to the point where their comments were starting to make me feel really uncomfortable."

So the female journalist contacted the mothers of the little shits on facebook

"Hi Anna, I don't know you, but I was wondering if [blanked-out] is your son?"

"Yes he is. Why?"

"I have never met him before, but he sent me a concerning message to my public Facebook page today that I was wondering if you might be interested in discussing with him." *screengrab*

"Omg, little sh*t. I'M SO SORRY. YES I WILL TALK TO HIM!"

What if they are adult males though, how do you deal with that?

You guys got any thoughtful input on this?
