I agree with a lot of what you are saying here, but I don't agree with the implications of this statement. First off, whether I say "I jumped" or "he jumped" depends largely on whether I'm describing game play or story. If I'm describing story, I'd say "he jumped"; if I'm describing game play I'd say "I jumped"

I thought the "fake girl thing" was mostly a thing bro-dudes did? Never been accused of that by a woman.

There's nothing wrong with female whores (or male ones), it's just the whole "All women are whores" and "Women should all just be for sex and cooking" scthicks that people have problems with.

I was going to waste my time making a witty retort on how you're too stupid to grasp feminism and how it's only males accusing women of being fake geek girls for daring to encroach on their precious widdle boys club, but you can't even spell Jezebel properly, so why bother? It'll be too complicated for you to grasp,…

Stop being that guy. Nobody is impressed by your cursing and gaming prowess.

"Remember affection can become aggression not with any change in the intent or words spoken, only on whether the words are accepted. This is the difference between giving away property and it being stolen. A boxing match and a violent mugging."

I gave you the best answer your question deserved. How is it sexist to impose the responsibility on women to correct the behavior of sexual harassment?

You'll have to forgive me, TREB, if I don't believe you. For this reason: I typed "Men really do understand nonverbal no" into google and the third hit I got was a Yes Means Yes article about the study Just Say No? The Use of Conversation Analysis In Developing A Feminist Perspective On Sexual Refusal. The summary of…

Thank'a you!

You don't have to be a superior to retaliate against them professionally, and lack of response is MOST DEFINITELY not consent. YES is the only thing that means yes. If you don't believe that, you have a serious problem.

Don't tell me I don't give a fuck about consent.

MAYBE you should read the article.

Referencing Jewish mythology stuff does not make a work Jewish.

It really bugs me when people think they're being stereotypical or groundbreaking, and they're really just kinda being... well, assholes. They're presenting more stereotyping and saying "no, no, it's funny, so it's satire!" even though it's identical to sexism/racism/whatever.

No one is 'blaming' the industry. We just want to industry to better itself. As every industry out there should be trying to do.

If you think this kind of treatment of women in the game industry (whether they're in the design profession, or simply gamers themselves) isn't standard, you haven't been keeping up on the subject much at all. Yeah, there are some BIG stories that get repeated a lot (like with Anita), but there are tons of 'smaller'…

Google it. There's dozens of articles about this specific issue specifically in the gaming industry. Seems like it isn't very isolated, then. I'm sure other industries have issues as well, but that doesn't make it okay for the gaming industry to have them.

Kind of reflects on the industry when this is not an isolated incident.

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.
