90% of the replies that actually have some personal experience with the game are like "I have done one trillion raids and have never had any problem, BUT WHAT IF I DID HAVE A PROBLEM WHAT THEN OMFG STAY SAFE XOXO".
They're pathologically paranoid for no reason at all. I could understand if even a single one of them had been raped trying to catch a Zapdos or whatever, but literally not one of them has a story like that. It's all purely hypothetical. Yet they're absolutely sure that one of these days those evil, evil men are going to kill them for no reason, because that's how Twitter told them the world works.
Niantic only uses landmarks and public buildings, highly public places, as gyms and whatever other raid locations they have. I played Ingress a little in college and you never had to go anywhere sketch. If you go somewhere isolated and creepy in the dead of night for a pokemon that's on you.

Well, pokestops DO exist in New York and other liberal-controlled cities with lots of "male feminists", so the risk of sexual assault DOES follow...
