America’s going to be near the top end of the scale I imagine when it comes to this kind of base, cultural “I expect to come home to a clean house” type misogyny.

What I don’t understand is why it is why the angle is to paint Yang as out-of-touch, hypocritical, or glib about the issue.
Among other things, he’s an ignorant tort reformer, which I think is fair to describe as “a decided not leftist policy.”
I prefer the Roxanne Gay view: these are not the feminists you’re looking for.
My parents did the same. But they cooked a lot of gross stuff and I've been a disordered eater/food waster since. So maybe it isn't a black/white issue?
As one RN to another, I agree. Although it’s often well meaning, to call RNs or any healthcare worker “angels” or “heroes” is just another way to dehumanize us. It allows people to think we’re all super human, and therefore going to be ok and “rise above.” The subtext also being we don’t need better pay or working…
as a nurse (Nurse Anesthetist) in Texas, I thank you for this piece and these words.
It is so refreshing to read an article that does not fetishize nurses as larger than life angels or super-heroes. We are human beings. The deification stuff becomes a mind fuck. It denies you permission to be tired, scared, frustrated. I was on hiatus when this all broke out (thank you burnout). There’s a mix of guilt…
To be fair, it’s not only white female celebrities that use the “it’s sexist!” defense whenever they face any criticism at all. I’ve seen it in “feminist” spaces such as this blog, and in a lot of other places. Feminism doesn’t mean that women can’t be criticised.
Actually in this day and age of Trump bootlickers, Twitter is about the only place to whistleblow. Most whistleblowing programs are aimed at protecting the agency/hospital/state (as a federal auditor seen whistleblowers get shut down going through the “right path”).
Keep on doing your thing Doctor!!!
Oh, BULLSHIT, they’ve been doing crunch for MONTHS on this game
With that rationale, as long as the Naughty Dog employees got paid for their crunch work, then there’s no reason for this Article to exist.
Did we read the same article? Hell, it’s even in the headline, this is focused on the Best Direction award and the article goes into detail about why it’s not deserving of that particular award. That’s not an award for lots of people - it’s an award for the director.
“But to penalize a game made by lots of those people affected by crunch is dumb.”
The article that was linked earlier just said that in that case, the bonuses were NOT tied to metacritic scores and/or awards. The bonuses were tied to the whims of the management that decided in that instance to not award them despite the game meeting the critical and sales projections they were given. They then used…
Everyone works for a union in hollywood, so they have already negotiated what acceptable practices are... and directors don’t get to overrule the union.
Most Hollywood stuff is done by union labor. Almost all video game work is done by non-union labor. Might have something to do with that.
It’s for Best Direction. It’s about how the game was managed.
Okay, but the article also says that the reduced bonuses was not the result of lower than expected sales or review scores. It was because the management simply stiffed them of what they were originally promised despite meeting all the goals they were given.
