the worst part being that he created a game that is nearly completely gender bias-free, and the people I hear mention it the most are coworkers with young kids, who really love the game, regardless of ethnicity or gender

Dit @dityz@notch Aren't you the millionaire who held a ton of parties for celebs but is still sad that he doesn't have any actual friends?

Hours after hosting a “women in gaming” luncheon at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Microsoft threw a party with scantily clad dancers in school girl outfits.

the comments are pretty amazing, shades of "isn't this what a nightclub is like, with dancers and stuff? i've never been to one, just seen them in movies and video games" and "most of the crowd probably couldn't afford to go to an actual club" (??)
love these experts on a social scene they perceive exists outside their realm
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 14:38 (eight years ago) link
well, also, people being 12 and 13 on the internet. not to excuse it at all but god knows what kind of totally wrong understandings of the world i had as a youth that are mercifully unrecorded thanks to the nonexistence of comments sections. i remember thinking based on the print dates of letters to comic books that it was normal for it to take months for a letter to move through the postal service, and getting gently disabused of this on usenet. can easily see myself believing/assuming all kinds of things about the mysterious, elite world of 'night clubs.'
― never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 14:46 (eight years ago) link
otm i have seen the same comments people saying they go to clubs all the time and that's what it is like at all of them, lol sure, ok
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
the comment i read was like "well, i'm a white dude in his early 30s so i'm not really a nightclub goer" and it's like... who do you think is at these nightclubs

"What's the cover? Where should we park?"Stay at home just once for a lark.They say "Now don't be a stranger."It really don't matter to meI'd be willing to wagerThat it don't matter much if we keep in touch

Honestly this is just a case of them doing the same old thing and not realizing how easily things get out now, that's just a regular old stupid E3 party setup from the early 00s they probably didn't think about it

i expect that's exactly what happened but it's still not cool - i'd have hoped that #gamergate and femfreq (and simply the shifting gender demographics of gamers) might have sparked a bit more self-awareness at microsoft but obviously not :(

not sure what to think about the recent treehouse drama. i'll have to ask my wife- nintendo is about the only gaming either of us do these days.

There's a whole thing happening around a character rendering/pose from the game Overwatch right now. Does anyone want to bother reading stupid comments on stupid reddit threads about it or should we not bother getting into it?

maybe not coincidentally, the latest femfreq video talks about sexualized character animations

RPS has a decent summary:

The grown-ups acquitted themselves well, the man-babies are generally melting down but what is new? You might if you were inclined raise an eyebrow at Blizzards 'clarification' "No, we didn't like it anyway, this was just confirmation", though it's amusing to see it turn the "As long as the developer was going to do it anyway then their views can't be questioned, silly gnats" wing of GG against the "What's wrong with being sexy?" wing.

I wasn't following any of this and I'm just reading about it today, but man, that is a terrible move on Nintendo's part. Their statement on why they fired her is really bad too. It's not enough just to assert that you're anti-harassment.
― jmm, Saturday, 2 April 2016 14:52 (eight years ago) link
Yeah it really felt like an ass-cover on their part. And anyway, even if she was let go for other reasons it doesnt diminish how she was harrased (accusing her of pedophilia ffs) for something she didn't even do at Nintendo. How fucking malicious and stupid are these GG peopl ahhhhh no dont even bother answering that :(

Upsetting and unsurprising, which when I reflect upon it makes it even more upsetting; how did things get to the point where THAT is what is considered to be "normal"? That shit should NEVER be "normal".
