Pretty rich to blame women’s behaviour on “hormones” when testosterone has been fucking everything up for millenia.
That’s absolutely insane. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with such crap. I hope you do find those better people soon.
BTW, you also have a very sheltered view of the world if you think other hobbies dont recognize a “poser” who is pretending they are an expert at a subject when they dont know crap about it.
GDC isn’t just for gamers, it’s primarily for developers. And the industry has already owned up to having a problem with how they attract, treat and retain female talent. This doesn’t help. And it doesn’t really matter if the ration is 50/50— if you’re trying to attract a broader audience for more dollars, maybe try…
For the hypothetical balance, those guys would have to have been dressed as sexy schoolboys, so it’s still fucking NOPE as hell. Never mind corporate branded events: most nightclubs would think twice about having podium dancers of any kind because it tends to come off as pretty desperate and tacky (x1000 if you make…
The studied I’ve generally seen explicitly asked people if they played games, what kind of games they played, and how often they played them.
The dancers 100% did nothing wrong. The event organizers fucked up.
You’re missing several things.
The problem here isn’t that there were no male dancers; it is the fact that it isn’t appropriate for an event like that. Microsoft is trying to push sex equality in video game making, and then it creates an atmosphere idealized for men.
Considering how much posting you’re doing on this topic, it would seem you care the most.
GDC isn’t really the type of place for that.
“It’s on Microsoft to stop this from happening again, and ensure their outreach to women seems genuine.” [emphasis added]
If you’ve reached a point where you’re asking “Should I leave my fiance for my crush...” the answer is yes and no.
Anybody with any sort of public life probably feels pressure to look good, but this particular story is about the stigma of women on Twitch, which the streamer talks about. Moreover, the video shows that she actually sometimes puts makeup on her breasts, just FYI.
Buckle up for the comments on this one.
Women have been harassed for being women since the dawn of time. But sure, we’re super surprised it happens online too.
If this article has a flaw, it’s not explicitly stating that this is not censorship. The government did not force Nintendo to censor anything; Nintendo changed it to appeal to the North American market. While it’s expensive and more difficult, you can still import a Japanese 3DS and a Japanese copy of the game and…
So, what I don’t get is these anti-SJW types seem to really hate feminists. Is it because they think feminists keep them from having girlfriends, that women should be obedient and subservient, or are they just massive douche nozzles?
