destinytruthcast Episode 61: A World of Art Online / An Online World Too Real

This week we got to sit down with Destiny Community Artist's Alisia Rose and Clinton Felker to talk art, streaming and Destiny. One thing we have always done with the DTC is try to make the experience as comfortable and natural as possible for our guests, most of whom have never been on a podcast (an many never listened to themselves recorded). To this end we try to keep the episodes laid back and create an atmosphere like friends just talking in game chat.  We have an idea of things we want to touch on and we know the episodes will start with the guests telling the community about themselves and end with some favorite moments playing. But the in-between is all off the cuff and natural flow of conversations. This allows for topics to develop and for the experience to be very organic. This week we had some incredible conversations about Alisia and Clinton's art and how they create it as well as talk about the upcoming expansion and thoughts on the upcoming streams; but the conversation also led to the issue of harassment and how difficult it can be for female gamers/streamers in an online world where unwanted advances/abuse are unfortunately and wrongly seen as just normal internet culture that can't/won't change. As always we appreciate you talking the time to listen and weigh in and support the guests we have on and if you'd like to join us to talk Destiny in the future please reach out to us and let us know.

  • Enjoyable episode. It is always good to step outside of my normal interests and learn a little about a subject such as art, in which I would normally not delve to any extent. It was also interesting to hear a little of Alisia and RGWs views on harassment. To be honest, I have seen some pretty horrendous on line harassment sent to men and I am not convinced that it is worse for women than men. The type of harassment sent to women can be different ( not wishing to draw the attention of bots/ mods, and perhaps children who could read this, I will leave out a description) but all of it is completely unacceptable. Sadly, it is a part of modern media where things are said in print that would never ever be said face to face seem to be becoming more and more normal. Our remedy, is of course the mute and block buttons. No one has to put up with bad behaviour, male or female. For me a gender neutral psn helps me to a) Play multiplayer games on an equal footing. If I win in Crucible then if I am going to get hate mail, it is less likely to be of an inappropriate nature b) I will not get unwanted advances. Should this be necessary? Of course not, it shouldn’t matter one bit what gender anyone is, but we live in the world as it is not how we would like it to be. Obviously this is not every woman’s choice and I respect that they do not want to do this slight subterfuge. I have no problem with both men and women wanting Clans which cater to their gender only. They offer things that mixed Clans do not and the more choice people have the better. A gender specific Clan is not my choice, but each to their own
