Indeed. God these comments are awful

But there just aren’t many women who are so into gaming right now that they’ve set their mind to getting a PS5. It’s just not something they’re into, which is fine.

So either they don’t want women around them, or they’re the toxic fucks that women don’t want to be around, right?

Harassment usually comes from a subordinate-superior sort of relationship.

“we would prefer to kill the idea rather than trying to befriend a woman" is the funniest thing I've read on this article.

The idea that a flatter management structure will lead to less harassment is so blindingly stupid I don’t know how one would start explaining why it’s stupid without sounding like they’re talking to an infant.

Most of the people I know play video games. If none of them were women I would be curious as to why none of my friends are women. 

I mean...you cant harrass women in the workplace , if there ARE NO women in the workplace.

I don’t have a mission other than to point out that men need to make a consistent and active effort to recruit women and simply saying ‘there’s none in our social/professional circle’ is bullshit. The continued exclusion of women from professional spheres isn’t (solely) dependent upon men actively conniving to keep…

Lot of definitely not sexist dudes in these comments talking about how none of their friends are women. Interesting!

You mean, yesterday? Amazing how many manbabies see an article linked on reddit or twitter and go "Noooo, it's the women who are wrong". Just telling in themselves. Wild.

Hof of PS5 owners are women, Buddy. I don’t know how to explain this two you, but over the last 25 years, the young men of today pushed the young women of today out of gaming. The Xbox 360 era in particular was soaked in massive harassment, basted in toxic performances of jerkassery in the name of performative…

I had a really nice long post written explaining how women were deliberate driven out of games development and programming by men and then girls were kept out of gaming by the sons of men, but then the stupid android keyboard ate the post.

The name choice is really unfortunate! Coupled with “our only female ‘employee’ is a literal bitch” It comes off like they’re leaning into it or doubling down. 

You cannot harass what’s not there.  It’s a safety protocol.

“I work at a AAA studio, fewer than 1 in 10 CVs we get are from women. Not everything is caused by the patriarchy ffs”

Not everything is caused by the patriarchy, but the fact that you get so few women applicants definitely is. 

30% so if this were an impartial selection of random people there’d be 3 women on this team. Looks like you found the problem. 

This “startup” is all made of people from the same company. It’s more of a spin-off….of a company that’s under multiple investigations for a massive amount of sexual harassment. It’s not some sort of rag-tag bunch of strangers who don’t know each other getting together to build something new.

You ever wonder why women aren’t applying?

Everything about this sounds suspect, at best.

So Kaleiki was at Blizzard until November 2020, on the WoW team. Which was absolutely being investigated by California at that point. And the article above misses the first sentence in his response about the harrassment at Blizzard:
