Hello all! Founder/Leader of Dames of Destiny here. I wanted to touch on a few issues brought up in the comments here (not that I think they should have to be): 1. This clan is not sexist. The same as I wouldn’t get upset at most of the clans out there that have some kind of criteria to join, whether its gender, time zone, ability etc. Many of you who are in charge of clans or in one, I bet you don’t let people in that you don’t get along with or that don’t fit what you are looking for. But beyond that this clan DOES NOT exist to close females off from males in game, we do anything but that. We game with guys all the time, we have an ally clan, we are very close with the Dads of Destiny. The point is to just be a place where females in the game and find each other easier and for some that does mean beign able to more easily avoid some of the harassment that happens while gaming, not just from guys but from all gamers. Dames isn’t just about being a female, if you are a total jerk or cause issues as a Dame you will be removed. Its about tolerance and acceptance and creating a place to meet up. If a guy wants to start an all guys clan (which I promise already exists) or anybody wants to start any specific clan because they want to find others like them and see a need for it the Dames of Destiny fully support you and would not call you sexist in the least. Again, most clans have some requirements to be in them. 2. I emphasize we are not guy haters. This actually makes me laugh. We have hundreds of allies that are male that we truly get along with and we appreciate all the this community that stays positive and respectful to ALL gamers! Those who troll and are jerks, too bad, wish it was different, but we are better than that and choose to game with the good guys and girls alike. 3. Obviously there is a need for a clan like this, because the number of females who have commented and joined since this was put out saying this is exactly what they were looking for is overwhelming. The number of guys who have commented saying they have never even come across a female in Destiny yet… we have over 400 members and over 400 more pending now. We are out there and this helps us find each other and make connections with all gamers in a positive way. 4. Those who are requesting to join, please have respect and only request if you identify as female and truly do, do not troll please, do not disrespect those who actually do qualify. If you want to game with us join Safe Gamers, if you are safe enough. 5. Thank you Deej so much for you assistance and Bungie for your support. Doing community focuses are not about covering butts when they aren’t answering questions, which btw they do ALL the time, check the forums, check twitter, they are constantly working and answering and listening. Games take time! <3 These focuses are about showing the community what the community is doing, its part of the game, part of being part of this community and I think its awesome, whether we had gotten one or not. So many of you complain about not being able to find people to game with, well these help people do that! 6. We are backed up on requests which is AMAZING but please understand that means it will take some time to get to everyone. But we promise we will get to you all ASAP 7. Lastly thank you so much to all those in support of Dames, Safe Gamers, and more than that positive gaming in general. We all want to play this game, so why not do so in a fun environment instead of a toxic one? We are moving forward, we are making changes, the gaming world has so many bad connotations with it in general, lets keep making the change! <3 You all rock! <3 BelleBunny
