You’re missing the point. No one is saying a bunch of men *can’t* form a company without women. Of course they fucking can, piles of men do it every day. Go ahead, dude, gather your drinking buddies and take on the world, no one is going to stop you.

I didn’t claim it was important because I care about it.

Names don’t work that way, bruv. Literally no one is going to dig into the story behind their name. When you bail on a company under indictment for sexual harassment and your next venture is called “Notorious,” people are going to think exactly one thing.

The idea that any company can accurately determine “who the best person for the job is” is easily falsifiable bullshit. Companies hire people based largely on the biases of the people who do the hiring. Stop repeating the myth that a meritocracy actually exists. It’s a fake ideal that people in power use to cover up…

Good god, this is dumb. If the company agrees with you, then all they have to do is ignore the criticism coming their way. We have no way to *make* them care about important things, and you suggesting they deserve a free pass because they haven’t broken any laws (that you know of) is fucking asinine.

“if you have to force, its not equality”

I’m assuming you missed the part where some of their funding comes from Riot. So, they’re from Blizzard (embroiled in a massive harassment scandal) and their money comes from Riot (embroiled in a massive harassment scandal), and you can’t connect the dots when they literally have no women in their ranks? Common sense…

Do you not see the blizzard connection here or???? The article itself points out how this is connected to that. If it wasn't the reaction would be "oh great another all male studio" which is not a good thing but not neccesarily worth reporting. But when a studio is created NOW and markers itself as people from…

“My privilege is being critiqued by the subculture I like. Boo hoo."

Whether a small development studio is all male or all female or what-have-you does not matter

What you are wanting is a pass for a team of mediocre dudes who didn’t have enough common sense to hire at least one woman after coming from a studio with a huge cloud hanging over its metaphysical head regarding sexism and the mistreatment of women, minorities and members of the queer community. Expecting them to…

If there are women, or minorities, that are qualified for the positions and tried to get hired, but the team decided (even subconsciously) not to hire them because they’re women or minorities, then yes that is illegal.

“Did you seriously feel a need to write this article? Why?”

No, this article is pointing out that a studio made from former members of a studio known for disrespecting women so far isn’t hiring any women. That’s not an accusation of anything, but it’s a pretty good reason to ask questions and be skeptical, especially given the context of 8 exclusively male people coming from a…

“I believe in the social construct of ‘decency’ and ‘empathy’ as much as the next guy but this is too far!”

LOL you really just went “there’s nothing to see here!” as a defense. cool.

reporter reports no women on team and guess what theres no women on team so accurate reporting is accurate. irrate “I’m totally woke but..” dude looses their damn mind.

business as usual

First, the fact that you publicly or privately consider yourself woke means you most definitely aren’t. “Woke” is an AAV term aggressively co-opted by centrists and conservatives to stigmatize having respect for viewpoints and experiences different from your own. Woke in the ‘20s is explicitly used pejoratively to…

“What does it say exactly? He has white friends? Is that bad? What’s wrong with that?”

just asking bad faith questions, guize!

According to your article i guess that makes us sexist.

He added that Notorious Studios has a “flatter structure,” made up of people who wrote code, made art, and designed pieces of games rather than serving as leads or directors.
