Then they shouldn’t have made a fucking comments section if dismayed comments are to be expected.

Yep. Just 30 minutes ago, I called this network a self-parody of liberalism, where even the most innocuous shit gets shredded for being offensive.

I’m sorry, but that’s not fair. How about parents communicate with their kids about what is appropriate and follow up to make sure people are treating their kid right? How about youth organizations take precautions to keep out predators? How about we as a society encourage speaking up? Judging men for coaching youth…

I don’t really think they should have CG’d Tarkin in. I guess maybe they felt they needed to for the story, but I think I would have said “Yeah, Tarkin is off doing _____ right now, and Moff New Character is in charge.” just to remove him from the story and make it so you don’t have to use him.

I really don’t understand this obsession with diversity that north americans have. Looking from the outside, hiring someone just because they’re not white or not male, just to fit diversity quotas, seems sexist and racist. Shouldn’t they try to hire the best suited for the job, regardless of skin color or sex ? Let’s…

Let me guess, you’re a white dude.

Spooky, you might feel like this conversation has been a waste of time, but you’ve let your debate opponent here show consistently that they don’t understand what they’re discussing, which is probably about the best you can hope for in a comments section debate.

I see no humor in it. Are you saying you were not thinking of white males in your original post? Perhaps just males in general? I see a lot of man hating going on within what have been, traditionally, male dominated fields and activities. Gaming had been male dominated for years. I do not have the numbers right now…

“I hope it’s clear that I’m not saying that diversity is bad, that Google or society is 100% fair, that we shouldn’t try to correct for existing biases, or that minorities have the same experience of those in the majority. My larger point is that we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain…

NOWHERE DID HE SAY THAT. ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE.

Well, I believe you’re attempting not see how credible it is because you disagree with it. Neither one of us will convince the other.

Incorrect, just because you know I got the best of you now you’re claiming the proof I’ve offered isn’t good enough. You’re not capable of being convinced either, no matter what I show you. You’re the problem, and now you’ve made an attempt to choc my argument up to me being upset based on my race. Now I know you’re…

Debra W Soh is a Toronto based science writer who has a PhD in sexual neuroscience from the University of York. Her dissertation used four types of neuroimaging, including structural and functional MRI, to investigate brain differences associated with sexual orientation, paraphilias (or unusual sexual interests), and…

You asked for this, and this is proof. Everything he stated is based in science. http://quillette.com/2017/08/07/google-memo-four-scientists-respond/

The only person, or group of people as it were, screaming about hurt feelings is everyone cheering that he lost his job. I’ll say it again, he said in the memo that the company was silencing people who’s opinions didn’t coincide with the false narrative that Google and the rest of the Victim Community is pushing, they…

Are you sure about that? He’s already got proof that Google was using illegal tactics to artificially inflate and meet gender and race quotas. California may be an at will employment state. but that doesn’t protect them if they were breaking the law. As for “3/4 of his hypothesis was wrong according to proven…

Nothing about what the man said was sexist, or xenophobic, but based on observable science and was written in an attempt to reveal possible illegal actions taken by google in the attempt to hire people to meet a race or gender quota.

I’m going to piss some people off, but fuck it. It needs to be said. These individuals are underrepresented, because they dont make up a significant portion of the industry(Please, PLEASE just read the rest, Hear me out before you tar and feather me. I am not being racist or sexist.) Instead of hiring with a bias…

I never understand why people describe diverse using sex and race. Just because two people have different color skin or different sexual organs does not mean they will think differently or have varying different background.

Wonderful. More arbitrary quotas. Used to work in ATVI, bullshit intitatives like this backfire. You end up giving up worthy candidates in exchange for someone else that doesn’t deserve it as much.
