The difference between objectification and empowerment is pretty easy, who’s doing it that said I’m going to take at face value your intent to support a victim of harassment but there’s some loaded language in here that’s leaving it so I’m just going to back away from this comment hands raised. I’d start by exploring…

I would argue that they should call out the bullshit they helped create. You spill the lego on the floor you help pick it up. So if that means calling them disgusting pigs, call them disgusting pigs. That is what a segment of them are.

Which literally happened when Playboy briefly removed nudity from their magazine so this is the perfect analogy.

“Nerds” were always vocally pervy but it was just written off. I’m old enough that by the time this show came on the air originally I was already too old for their target demo. I’m closer to Sessler’s age than the audience of the time’s age. The thing is, back in “the day” it was kids being stupid kids which could be…

Good for G4 elevating her message but ultimately I feel the world G4 left is gone and the space it used to occupy no longer exists. The post GG community is stratified and there’s a lot less willingness to put up with crap we used to put up with (and shouldn’t have in retrospect).

I mean, it’s kind of been getting called out by various people for decades it’s just he has a higher profile and a wider platform than most of those calling it out.

To be fair, she didn’t design them to look like that in the movie. She did describe them like that in the book but no one along the line said “hey Joe, you know, this is pretty racist right here” (and hence the problem with ALL of her material since I mean look at the issues around Pottermore and how it handles…

This really doesn’t shock me at all sadly.

They don’t identify them in the letter but over the years there have been a few people let go (and at least one I can think of that’s known for toxic behaviour) so not sure who it could be. It would seem, while not saints, at least Bungie is taking this feedback seriously and have tried to act in a manner better than…

They seem to be doing a much better job at responding to these allegations than their former publisher. Hopefully they clean house appropriately and address the systemic issues.

This is a case where it’s literally not click bait, if you read the article she reported an executive for harassing her and the executive was fired. Yes they do use click bait titles a LOT but it doesn’t help if you get annoyed with them when it’s a legitimate title and not some kind of bait and click.

As someone who works if finance, this made me laugh very hard and for a very long time. Sure friend, you keep telling yourself that.

This is the most on brand thing to see about Peter I could have ever expected. I am 0% shocked.

Dude, I hold shares in the company and have for some time (before they were outed as a company full of creeps). I would directly benefit from them being profitable and even I’m “no, this shit is wrong”. The logic behind this is unethical and as you yourself mention it’s a scam. I want companies I am involved with as a…

No, unless it’s “transformative” it would not fall under fair use.

As a collective many of our number are very forgetful unless they feel personally slighted. In the case of EA, Epic and Microsoft these are all companies where they’ve done something that they feel (right or wrong) personally impacted them. Not something as esoteric as treating employees like shit but had…

Yup and there’s a reason why there’s only one product I’ve bought published by them in decades and that was an external studio. The man is a horrible human being. Glad this is all resurfacing and hopefully he’s held to some kind of account.

Knowing people who’ve worked with and for Japanese firms this all scans.

He didn’t work for Activision, he worked for Bungie. He was a nightmare to work with and fired with cause, he was held in contempt of court and literally violated the terms of his settlement. That the judge didn’t rescind any financial aspects of the settlement was an act of mercy.

It’s work for hire, if it was done in the process of making the score it’s not his. He was a contractor.
