If she's happy, I'm happy for her. I'm not her doctor and I have no idea if she's healthy or not. All I can comment on is how proud of herself she looks and how big and genuine her smile here is.

If she is happy, I am happy. Let's lay off of this poor woman who did what she was supposed to do to win a contest.

Neat criticism, poor execution.

When she said "multiple partners", she meant "multiple romantic partners". As in, bringing in multiple women she's already in a romantic relationship with for a threesome, when those two are not in a relationship with each other.

prepare to cry : THE MOVIE

I love NPR but I all-caps HATE a Prairie Home Companion. It is the worst.

So basically you're just a moron who can't read emotional and physical cues like a human so you're blaming everyone else. Ahh, it all makes sense now.

You are talking about an EXTREME TINY MINORITY OF MEN

Please feel free to go look the studies up by yourself. They exist out there, easy to find as a Google search. If you care, you'll take the time to look them up.

Why is it women's responsibility to "get over it" and not men's responsibility to stop being so creepy and disgusting?

Um, well it's pretty common. That's not to say it doesn't happen elsewhere. But where's the point in just sitting back and going, "Welp, it's not my job to fix it, hurr hurr."? The game industry should strive to be better.

Stop the victim-blaming, please. She was explaining that the sheer audacity of that journalist is what caused her to react with silence and shock rather than a clear, respectful dismissal. That quote was her explicitly acknowledging that she should have said something, but that she couldn't. Rubbing it in is

I think I can explain.

"People should be a little disturbed by the journalistic approach to the issue" I don't understand how you can't read that as "people should be disturbed by journalism"

Unless you have been living under a rock, this guy is not an outlier. This type of behavior is more common than you think, it has however, gotten better over the past few years due to people talking about it. Talking about is always better than ignoring. The ones that cry to ignore it are generally the ones who are

Why would you ever think making sexual advances is okay in a professional context?

Now we're going to write about it for two weeks, everybody is going to hammer their righteous thoughtful opinions, then move on and nothing changes.

It is certainly risky for victims of harassment or discrimination to speak out. I do hope that, at Kotaku, we can help give people voice who fear their voices might otherwise go unheard.

Revenge games? Seriously? This is sexual harassment dude. In other professions, you get fired for this and blacklisted from the industry. In school, you get suspended or expelled. The fact that she's afraid to use her real name shows how terrible our industry treats women who speak up against their harassers.

While I feel like this single conversation has already gotten more individual focus than its worth, what I find much more singularly disturbing is the insight into the institutionalized mindset of the industry as a whole towards sexual discrimination. You can't fix things without having a conversation about them, and
