Also when the suggestion is “moar branching dialogue trees” it’s like, are you twelve?

people LOVE branching dialogue, it’s so much fun saving before every NPC convo so you can min-max the options, yes, great, put more of that in the game

Basically they want their AAA games to be accorded universal respect.
this is particularly sad because the voice acting and stories in AAA games are generally on the level of a pretty good high school production

It's not just disagreeing, it's disagreeing with her about how she should do her job. It's the lack of respect for her credentials and experience. And when it happens each and every day, you're bound to lose your head every now and then.
the idea that he shouldn't express disagreement with her about game design because she's a professional game designer and he's just some guy who plays games seems silly to me - of course laypeople can have opinions about computer games, it's not like they're talking about string theory or something

he was disagreeing on a design point. like you should be able to critique creative decisions even if you are not a designer/filmmaker/musician/whatever, we do it all the time. and with stuff like game development, as shitty as some of it is, processing community feedback is part of the gig. i just don't get any whiff of condescension there, guy (regardless of quality of his take) seemed to just want to have a discussion.

I have no idea why a woman in the gaming industry would be so defensive.

lol @ all the men in this thread not getting why a female in a male dominated industry might just lose her shit a little once in a while because this stuff only happens EVERY DAY.

Good thread
So, because it seems a lot of people are having trouble with it, I'm going to talk about Jessica Price and ArenaNet.— John Teasdale (@beaglerush) July 11, 2018

Yes
This 👏 is 👏 sexism. This is what it looks like. If you look at this situation and join the mob of people sympathizing with that "poor, innocent man", it is my firm belief that you are, excuse the saying, part of the fucking problem.— John Teasdale (@beaglerush) July 11, 2018

excellent thread with a real mixed bag of replies. anyone who identifies as a gamer is to be watched tbh

really not feeling this gamertag self-hatred

you're just leaving "gamer" to millions of players who shouldn't just be lumped in with sexist/racist assholes
Sometimes it's just not possible to reclaim a term. But yes, a good thread, probably getting hi lots of hate atm.

...others argued that terms like “gay” and “fag” evolved online. People claim that because the terms are used so often online, and supposedly without any malice, then our own understanding of how these words should be able to change. This argues kids who grow up on the internet, and see words like “gay” and “fag” slung around as casual supplements for words like stupid, frustrating, or annoying, wouldn’t think twice about using a slur because it’s not how the word was introduced into their vocabulary.
