Why don’t they sue the music industry? They keep using the word “rockstar”, they might not have a trademark but they use it too easily, I say start by suing Metallica.

That’s so awesome. I work in IT, which is an extremely white male dominated field. The department I’m in now is almost 50% women, and we’ve got a bunch of minorities as well. It’s the single most diverse IT team I’ve ever had. We’re only 12 people, and the manager of the department is a woman, the manager of the field…

According to Josh Hawley, women should only do whatever their husband or priest tells them to do.

Exactly. If I’m pissing off that twatwaffle, then I know I’m doing something right.

As someone who spends at least a little time each week playing video games and watching porn, it does my heart good to know that I’m a disappointment to Josh Hawley.

I can’t disagree with this statement by Hawley, and I can only hope that the January 6th Commission will hold Hawley responsible for his seditious behavior that furthered an attempt to overthrow the United States government.

Anytime you hear a Republican whining about people “dropping out of the workforce” or the mythical “labor shortage”, what they’re really saying is “the serfs are getting uppity so it’s time to grind their faces a little harder.”

New to Kinja (longtime lurker) but since I’m Swedish I can translate some stuff from the linked article from Breakit that didn’t make it to this article:

I mean, a lot of these shows are about young people overcoming great odds through feats of athleticism and skill, which was gained through grueling training and hard work. It makes sense! 

Bobby lost a lawsuit in like 2010 for failing to prevent sexual harrassment of an employee. She made a complaint and he fired her for it. Told her “The guys are tired of you creating a hostile environment” or some shit like that. They knew exactly the kind of guy they were doing business with.

Why does something tell me these investors will probably get a nice settlement/judicial win, and workers and victims of harassment who had to live with this shit for years will get the stick?

For those keeping score at home...

Damn, based on that picture I expected something like “He’s stepping down to spend more time on his hobbies, collecting swords and hitting on high schoolers in the local bowling alley parking lot."

the difference is that Meg and Cardi are in control. it’s their choice.

The complaint: Women’s armors are clearly designed to make the character look like a wet dream while the male ones are made to look like a power fantasy. We want female armors that are as much a power fantasy as the mens!

From what I can tell it’s better then it was a decade ago but it still happens.

Ah yes, Nier Auromata. The game that my wife watched me play once and commented “Wow! When you are on the ladder the in game camera man turns into an amateur proctologist”.

When you lash out at people as being “puritans” because they want their female characters to have armor that isn’t a crop top, you’re part of the problem.

Get back to me when all the male models in WoW are dressed up like they stepped out of a gay porn shoot. It’s absolutely an “aesthetics thing” when the men get armor and the women get thongs.

I agree. I mean, one of the EARLIEST pioneers of story driven PC games was Roberta Williams. Gaming didn’t start out as a ‘boys only’ club.

I’m guessing a lot of that stems both from ‘bro culture’ and the active discouragement in our society of girls in STEM - both classes and careers.
