The law for paid sick leave down here in Germany covers six weeks per year. Nationwide of course. If you're sick longer than that, public social security kicks in.
So, let me get this straight, Reddit.
No one is advocating removing all violence directed towards women from all games. That's pretty much a strawman position that people who don't want anything to change use to rail against.
You have to be pretty wilfully blind to not see the hate women developers get when they DO make their own games. You can't just tell them to go make their own games without acknowledging that the shit follows them wherever they go. It's almost like it's not what they are saying - but that it's women saying it.
thing is, it's not cheating if she dumped dude some months ago. But of course the people who support him are the kind of people who think once they're had sex with someone, that person becomes their personal private property.

Being non-consensually assailed with violent, graphic imagery of rape porn is not even close to the same thing as voluntarily looking at porn that appeals to you.
And the irony is that nothing shuts down (IMO) discourse like these rape gifs, yet you'd think gawker would into the idea of maintaining safety in its most lucrative site. Remember when jez was started and traffic to gawker dropped dramatically? Jez is the crown jewel for sure, yet (male) managers expect us to just…
At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic. But no one's ever shown me any actual numbers that support that claim. Does anyone have any? Not that I think…
For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown…
What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write…
You can hear that engine throttle. The prosecution is going to play that over and over to the jury, and they'll be right to do so. Tony Stewart murdered somebody tonight
This comment encapsulates just how dog whistles work. Someone (ie Mark Shrayber) points out something that most reasonable people understand as racist. Then people like you come up and accuse the person who pointed it out as being racist. I hope you realize that people like you are the number 1 reason racism will…
I noticed your glasses are becoming a part of your image too, right?
Mark, we're so proud of you! I'm kvelling!
I think your complaining about a tech writer's critique of a tech company on a tech blog might be even bigger. But hey, you got to use an overused expression, so bonus hip points to you!
not excusing the rapist or the school - but
He confessed. So yeah, I think we can safely say it isn't a false accusation.
It also mentions in the Al Jazeera article that he has a prior history of sexual misconduct. I wish they'd name the college he is attending in the hope of protecting other women from him.
