Really? Then I wonder why the companies who don’t do it haven’t lost any IP yet?

Did I say they don’t support their IPs? No, I said they don’t as much as their fans do.

I feel the same, absolutely nothing negative would have happened to the Pokemon IP if the fan game was allowed to come out.

Oh Nintendo, you’re killing your dedicated fan base with each C&D you send out. Chances are Prism would have released with minimal repercussions (if any) to the Pokémon IP or Nintendo. Now, by taking it down, you’ve aired your dirty laundry to everyone. Eventually people won’t want to support you since you’re not…

Seriously people, just change the damn name. You’re pretty much fine as long as it doesn’t say “pokemon” on it. Shame to see all that hard work just go *poof*. Man if only Nintendo could support their own IPs as much as their fans do! That will be the day!

“Working with the fan games” — Coming to a compromise that allows the games to go forward without shady things like using official logos and designs.

We should probably blame white women. Not even being sarcastic.

I’m going to crop his face from the final pic and use it for any time I have a nerdgasm at announcements like this.

Indians are South Asian. They fall under the Asian designation and in fact make up the majority of the engineering teams in Silicon Valley. The American tech sector would collapse without the flow of the best minds in India.

I’ve seen this topic brought up repeatedly, and when it is, the women I’ve seen respond mention things like: ‘bro culture’ language (looking for a ninja/rockstar, we work hard and play hard, ping pong tables as a perk - the sorts of things that makes it sound more like a frat house than a job), negative statements…

That is funny! Reminded me of this (low budget, massive amount of dramatic license...)

This is very similar to the movie from Uganda, which I prefer, as they have VJs, or “video jokers”, who do running commentary throughout the film. Here’s an example:

Look at the phrasing in your job postings and see if there are any Meetup or other groups in your area that the recruiters can look at. Most of the time people say ‘no women apply for our jobs!’ their job descriptions and postings are filled to the brim with red flags.

I understand where you’re coming from, and the idea that companies are at the mercy of their own hiring pool is valid and applicable, but the question you’re asking assumes that there are equal barriers for Races A and B to acquire qualifications before joining that pool, and discounts the possibility that the uneven…

If these firms that purportedly hire the “best” talent from across the country/world actually did it would be very diverse if this were a talent issue. There are so few positions that the employee makeup would be no more than 20-30% one race and near 50/50 gender.

At some companies there is an effort to move women/minorities to the top of the pile. Some people think this is unfair, but you can think of it as an attempt to counteract our subconscious biases that unfairly keep us from considering women and minorities. Also, it’s unlikely someone truly unqualified would get hired.

That social pressure and lack of opportunity for poor students you mention are also largely about sexism and especially racism, but not in an easy to diagnose way that could theoretically be quickly fixed and change the workforce in a hiring cycle or two if the industry tried to. The pipeline starts as soon as parents…

Not every job in a technology company, even high paid ones are in software development. But if you walked into a tech company in the Bay Area you would need sunglasses to ward of the whiteness.

When your dad can’t find a job in the industry today why would you waste your time pursuing a career that won’t hire you. I don’t see you attending fashion classes if you don’t have a career path there. Advertising is the key teacher of this process as many optimistic women & minorities tried to enter the industry…
