Like all other things that seem to be about women, it’s actually about ethics in games journalism.

What? Is your argument, “I’m unhappy with the quality of video games currently, so efforts to include women in the industry must be a ploy to distract me from that”? It sounds like you a) take video games way too seriously, and b) have bad ideas about women.

I laughed so hard reading that the other day that my husband looked at me scornfully and said “it can’t be *that* funny”. But it is. All hail Ortberg!

Ugh. Not only is this shitty on a general level, I am even more personally annoyed. My husband actually IS an engineer with Asperger’s, and while occasionally socially different, is incredibly capable, educated, and has an amazing career.

This is my favorite part:

I had a fairly permanent rift with my father over his assertion that the women who were sexually assaulted at the Tailhook convention deserved it, because why were they entering a male space?

Way fucking worse:

Ha ha ha. And he’s also a fetishist of non-neurotypicalism? What a walking streotype.

You’re a sexist troll with an account created today who’s been going around attacking feminists and calling female writers the c word.

And he’s a spectacular hypocrite to boot. When he was a lowly wage slave coder he was overworked to the point where he burrnt himself out and talked about what an ordeal it was constantly. Then he became management and could force OTHER people to crunch themselves to death to increase his profits, and suddenly anyone…

Apropros of nothing, St. John’s screed was a general dismissive attitude towards a massive problem in the video games industry: The Crunch. Basically, working crazy long shifts with 80 hour work weeks for months on end as mandatory unpaid overtime, in order to get a game out by a certain deadline. He spouted off a lot…

He's so wrong, his daughter called him out.

That is so fucking funny.

This man is truly, utterly vile. His screeds are the production of a mind so enraptured by his own superiority that he fundamentally cannot believe that there are people who would disagree with him. The slideshow contains such gems as exhorting recruiters to hire the “holy grail” of a male engineer with Aspergers,…

This woman is badass.

Do you have a point?

“he is feeding the fire for the dull brained Neanderthals in the industry who actually are anti-women to continue propagating these practices.”

I applaud Amilia for finding her own voice and trying to differentiate her self from her father.

I want to point out that sadly, that presentation that was unearthed isn’t much different from ones I have seen in Finance, and I will then make the leap to say its not much different from those seen in many white collar…

Those poor babies.

True Story: A bro in my office said that he thinks that these cheaters should sue AM for the amount of money that their wives got in the divorce that resulted from this leak.
