If his mom is a permanent resident, he’s not an immediate relative. So even if she petitions for him, he has to wait for a visa to become available, then go back to his home country for a visa interview before he can get his greencard.

Enough with the narrative that someone who is here “illegally” has simply neglected to rectify their immigration status. Seriously. Enough.

I commented yesterday not knowing the full facts of the case and allowing ICE’s lies to affect my opinion. I am an 80's Salvadorean refugee who gained citizenship over-time, and I critiqued 21 Savage for having a felony. Getting in trouble with the law in our community is viewed as a massive personal fuck-up, one…

My understanding is that the lawyer is able to say he has no criminal record because his conviction was expunged, but DHS can look at the criminal record even if the record is sealed or expunge. To immigration, the conviction still stands.

At a different games publisher nearly a decade back, my spouse had an absurd encounter that (I think) ultimately lost her her job and really opened my eyes.

Hate to say it but I don’t think this is actually relevant in any way. Objectification, fantasy proportions and designs are not gender specific. Every hulking male soldier and barbarian is just as unbelievable, implying that all men are muscle bound apes. This applies across media and in many cultures across the…

When I read this article, there is a question that stayed in the back of my head and remained unanswered: what the heck are people actually doing at this company? 2500 employees, 20ish offices: one game (and some minor projects you can count on one hand) in 10 years. I understand you need to maintain and update an…

Most recent champion was a re-release of Akali, now with even less clothing...

If these people were computer scientists, they should be doubly ashamed. To spend days and years crystallizing mathematical truths into algorithms, to seek the best, the most efficient, the clearest methods - and then to hear truth spoken by a colleague, only to dismiss it because of their physical manifestation...…

Gee, it’s funny... you don’t see a lot of rugged survalists living in hostile alien environments who manage to have runway model figures, pristine moisturized skin, fashionably tousled hair, and glossy pink lipstick...

No, it’s really not disingenous at all to point out that one of their most recent female champions which was billed as a rugged survivalist ended up being transformed into a fetish doll.

There’s absolutely no metric by which Jeong’s bullshit is worse than the shit above. Which, to put a fine point on it, was perpetrated by people IRL, and which had IRL consequences. Not even slightly equivalent. 

As far as I can tell, the privileged have one thing they fear and that is being held accountable for their morals and actions(forcibly even). Hell even if they’re not the type to think of them. It is why I hypothesize many “lost-causes” seek high positions/power to decrease that probability.

Not remotely suprising. A quick look at the female characters in LoL itself tells you tons about their mindset toward women.

Agreed. I’ve read about half now and will have to read the rest later, but this is fantastic reporting.

Also, because in their view, straight white men really are just better, so it’s not a surprise that they encompass 80% of developers and 95% of leadership.

Or to acknowledge that things you enjoy should change to be more inclusive to people who aren’t exactly like you.

I was going to comment that Riot talks some mighty hype about being “core Gam3rz” for a bunch of Silver IIs but this ain’t even worth it. That environment sounds like fucking trash and I hope this shakes them up.

Since it invariably is going to come up, I don’t understand how people can scream “this is a witchhunt” or “people are too sensitive” or “this is SJW nonsense” when time and again big gaming/tech companies have proven to be navel gazing, bro-clubs who alienate anyone who isn’t a straight white male.

It’s not…

That is fucking infuriating. Especially if Lacy / co-workers were programmers. As a computer scientist, I consider logic to be king - above emotion, above politics, and certainly above the gender of the logician.

If these people were computer scientists, they should be doubly ashamed. To spend days and years…
