There is an open letter that intends to stamp out hateful and discriminatory behavior in the gaming community.
The letter was originally posted yesterday by Andreas Zecher of Berlin-based indie studio Spaces of Play. Take a look below:
Open letter to the gaming community
We believe that everyone, no matter what gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religion has the right to play games, criticize games and make games without getting harassed or threatened. It is the diversity of our community that allows games to flourish.
If you see threats of violence or harm in comments on Steam, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook or reddit, please take a minute to report them on the respective sites.
If you see hateful, harassing speech, take a public stand against it and make the gaming community a more enjoyable space to be in.
If you want to sign this letter, please send a tweet in the following format:

I'm a published author and proud US Army veteran who happens to be a gamer, so I decided to combine the two and love every minute of it! Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments and I'll be sure to get back to you.
