If she was working for the company directly, and was receiving these kinds of messages, HR would actively step in and protect her.

If someone says says something racist because a person just punched them (first)... does it make the racist comment OK? Replace the word “racist” with “sexist”. If it’s not OK when someone punches you why would it be OK when someone says mean things to you?!
Why not both?
It’s complicated. Her job is essentially to engage with people, all sorts of people, on social media. If a lawyer, being verbally abused by their male client, suddenly yelled “men are trash” in their offices (in front of other clients) I would expect there to be dire consequences (possibly including firing, possibly…
No one should make the completely insane assumption that the people tweeting you are representative of... well... anything (beyond the oft inane, usually stupidly impulsive, passing thoughts of those individuals).
The stupid shit women say on twitter tells me absolutely nothing about “women”. You can replace “women” in…
This bothers you because of the cultural baggage tied to this particular bit of “unbelievability”.
That’s totally fair (context matters), but the list of implausible physicality to be found in this game is probably a very very (very) long one. They made this change not simply for the sake of realism, but for the sake…
When a politician, not so long ago, used the word “niggardly” did the technical definition of the word actually matter?!
Even if we grant the possibility that it wasn’t meticulously calculated to invoke images of nazi camps in our minds (I’m sure it was, duh)... it’s very easy to understand why it would. This may not…
Effectively the only thing that can stop companies from practicing crunch is the company actively not wanting to participate in crunch culture.
That is the problem with salaries coupled with bad employers. You aren’t telling me anything I don’t already know... I don’t even know what this has to do with what I am saying. Is the studio in this article (with seemingly happy employees) salary? I didn’t see it mentioned in the article, but maybe it comes up in the…
Yeah, but I imagine salary (and bonuses) can vary depending on merit. I mean... hours put in aren’t necessarily a metric of merit, but it certainly can be. Your value to the company scales with your contributions... why wouldn’t your wage scale in a similar way?!
That sounds like it is probably true, on average, but it probably won’t be true for everyone all the time. If we treat people as individuals then we would (should?) allow for whatever methods provide the best result in each case.
If game team B is working 60 hours a week, and we’re working 40 hours a week, they’re going to have a better game than we will. That’s just a fact.
The subcommittee noted that there was a 17 percent increase in reported hate crimes in 2017 from the previous year...
The one thing that annoys me more than anything is the wonky auction system, which gives every guild it’s own auction house. I can’t get over how obnoxious it is. I have returned to this game several times, wondered why I left (the gameplay is ok), then I get to the point where I want to sell off some junk cluttering…
The opinion of an omnivore (that is acutely aware of the moral concerns surrounding the raising of conscious creatures for eventual consumption).
I am pretty sure that the lead picture is the moment I stopped playing Rage 2. When I found it I was like... nope. Alt-F4, Uninstall.
To be fair... I had been teetering on the fence for the previous hour of gameplay... but that placement felt gratuitously stupid. I think the first two pictures you feature (the lead and…
Do the police shutdown a NASCAR event when a car blows apart at 200mph?
I don’t actually know... I always had the impression that they just cleaned up and moved on at these sorts of events.
Buyer beware.
Buyer beware.
Just have a Diet Coke.
There are enough that Steam changed their stance on the topic.
