Journalism and sexism in the games industry
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Gorth's topic in Way Off-Topic
Trying way too hard to judge Bradwell when all you have is speculation. All that was made publicly available thanks to the gaming journalist was the side of the prosecution.Also, the pro-corruption side needs better spell checking aside from their fact checking. The pro-corruption side don't believe in facts. -

There is also the fact that Double Fine hosted a "Day of the Devs" party in SF with DJ Phil Fish, which they streamed online. Not really a good move when people are questioning your money management skills. I find the best thing to do when I have an overfunded project that is unfinished and I need more money to complete is to throw a party with spare funds instead. Cuz finishing a project is what the Patriarchy wants. -

LOL. Tim Schaefer collected 5 times the requested amount for his kickstarter and is still unable to finish the game. Ron Gilbert has slid into obscurity and was hardly relevant when I was 10, let alone now in 2014. Kickstarter frauds and hasbeens. As to the "many more", I would be suprised if they had made a game that topped 10,000 units. Brad Wardell by no means admitted to sexual harassment, he was wrongly accused of it and had his name drug through the mud over a lawsuit by a former employee that was dismissed. This is a fact, deal with it. As to making people worried about expressing their opinion, freedom of speech doesn't entitle anyone to freedom from critiscm. Not even communist black transwoman lesbians. They certainly shouldn't be harassed, but someone poking holes in their logic or calling them an **** isn't harassment. But please, do go for the gold in mental gymnastics. I could use a good laugh. Probably, but I like to think that most can see a joke(quality of taste may vary) and not take it literally. Of course if an organization I worked for told me to cut it out I would stop, especially if I was referring to an event of theirs. -

If Thompson was packaged as a thirty-something feminist scholar with terrible taste in earings and you substituted "think of the children!" with "women are being harmed!" You would have Anita in a nutshell. To be fair, I'm not sure we have any way to judge Thompson's taste in earrings, so its a bit difficult to tell if they have a difference in taste there or there or not. Also - and just IMO - it seems a bit silly to talk about appearance in this situation. Either they're similar in using shaky logic against a strawman evil they've built, or not, but I don't think their appearance matters one whit within that context. Thompson thinks earings are the Devil's jewelry. I'm not of the opinion that Anita's taste in earings(as obnoxious as I find the giant hoops to be) is indicative of her arguments in any way. For me at least, it is a cheap throw away crack at the fashion tendencies, similar to jabs at the unnatural hair colors of other individuals. -

Are they? I suppose if one solely looks at the rainbow haired crowd it would appear that way. Of course, large devs have been quiet for the most part so make of that what you will. -
Congratulations and condolences Nep. Today I contemplated renting from my parents until I finish my BA for $500 a month. It's less than I would spend on an apartment with a roommate(and the one's I've had have been pretty bad) and I would really like to buckle down and finish without financial concerns being an issue.

So not many names then, I am surprised. As for GG, I am not seeing how it ties in well with this, but can see why you'd want it to, heh. For the most part I've not really seen it carrying on as a White Power movement.Although I suppose there are some Nazis involved, thinking through all the flames I've read over. Well there is one Nazi involved, but Ian Miles Cheong is anti-gg.

He was fair, and mostly correct. I may need to watch more of his show. I mean at the end of the day, it really isn't a big issue. If the journos win and they get to keep being corrupt and pushing an agenda, and the publishers bow to the journo's pressure and do a game with a gay trans person of colour main character, and it doesnt sell because 99% of the gaming public cant relate because the number of gay trans PoCs is such a tiny part of the market, we'll still end up getting male power fantasy games because they sell. You should, it is quite refreshing to watch a liberal opinion show that isn't slowly becoming as insane as FOX News. -

http://youtu.be/V9fiz35EP2I Very good video. -
I didn't mean to ask of it was similar to 2001, I meant was it similar to what a Kubrick directed Fantastic Four would have been. Because that is what I was told.

This is going to turn out well.
