This user is banned for this post (3 days): Sexism argumentation.

I'm not the one saying it. I'm just saying that we shouldn't be selective in which women we listen to. Amy Henning, for example, said the game industry was a wonderful place of opportunity where she never experienced harassment or discrimination. She said "I may just be oblivious, and if so that tactic has worked for me" and that the internet was making the industry seem like a more sexist place than it was. It is the internet rhetoric which was keeping young women out of gaming, not the industry itself. I've seen Henning crucified for saying that, but you know, what if she has a point?

When I worked at Treyarch in the early 00's, they employed a handful of women that were all in positions of power. Project lead, lead artist, head of HR, technology lead. They would all have lunch together (which my wife was invited to a few times) and talk about women in the game industry. They complained mostly about a lack of women and not having more women to talk to, and not about harassment or discrimination. But this was about 15 years ago. The dialogue around women in the game industry was very different back then.

I don't think the industry suddenly became more sexist. I really don't. I just think that there has been a shift in the political landscape over the past decade, where before people would look at the lack of women in the game industry and arrive at one conclusion, while now they look at the exact same lack of women in the game industry and arrive at a different one. The problem hasn't changed, just the explanation of it - and the current explanation has a zero percent chance of actually solving the problem. If anything, the prevalence of sexism claims is leading to less women in the industry and fewer women in computer science.

Amazing.

"The tech industry. Gross.  "

"I actually work in the industry and it's not that bad in my experience.  "

"DISSENT?? DESCENT!! "

 

[stufte]

Stuffte are you really asking if it's okay to call specific kinds of people disgusting if you don't find them attractive just because you're not attracted to them? What if I called white men disgusting because I'm not attracted to them? Would that be okay? (That's not why I'm not attracted to white men, just giving an example).

Nah, I just like the debate(*see: argument). I don't think anyone should be nasty to anyone else.

believe women is a nonsense stance to take

They are not deities seeking your faith. You listen to women. They report a crime and the appropriate people investigate.

Statistically false allegations rarely happen so the unlucky few are just fucked. It's better to ruin the lives of a few innocents than tarnish the movement with skepticism.

Not sure if sincere, but I seem to be great at coaxing people into saying really dumb stuff.

[HaughtyFrank]

I like how people are allowed to preemptively judge anyone because hey, this isn't a court room we don't have any actual power etc. but then anyone who dismisses the allegation is instantly the reason why victims don't speak up.
So does the public opinion have power or not? Pick one

[tummyfat]

I love that the Michael Douglas thread is acting flabbergasted over people suggesting evidence is needed and saying it doesn't matter because Resetera is just a powerless internet forum when the first post in the thread is literally calling for the formation of a lynch mob

Lynch Him

 

Reading the posts in this thread I do wonder if at any time in their lives this argument will click:

Well the difference is I could say you sexually harassed me, and your career would be destroyed based on one persons words.

I'm not saying ignore them, but believing everyone at face value has it's issues too.

And bobby's post:

Educate me on how the off-topic side of a gaming forum is practically indistinguishable from a court of law.

A mere accusation will destroy your life in a multitude of ways, but heh, it's not a court of law, so nothing to worry about. The thing is though, this isn't entirely true either. Creating a culture where the accuser must always be unquestionably believed could affect the accused right to a fair trial. You are colouring the accused with guilt before the case has even started. You simply cannot guarantee it would not leak into proceedings especially in high profile cases.

If we were to talk about the lynching of black people accused of raping white women in the South, lets say in the 1930s, they would get it. Of course the black person is guilty. Of course the white woman is telling the truth.

[Himu]

Stuffte are you really asking if it's okay to call specific kinds of people disgusting if you don't find them attractive just because you're not attracted to them? What if I called white men disgusting because I'm not attracted to them? Would that be okay? (That's not why I'm not attracted to white men, just giving an example).

I could have sworn on GAF you made a thread about cutting all white people out of your life, but then made a post in a dating thread about only dating white men.

I definitely cut white people out of my life. That was a mistake propelled by hatred and bigotry. I never said I only dated white men, though. You must have gotten me mixed with someone else. I don't find white men attractive at all, and even had an argument in BCT about this because they're attracted to every race under the sun while I'm mostly about niccas.

[Himu]

I know for a fact I would never say I only date white men and anyone who remotely knows my taste in men knows you're saying straight up ducktales rn.

[stufte]

Ducktales you say?

Wait, i can't call a trans person disgusting ? Most of them are gross looking. That's what happens when you're an ugly dude that tries to be an even uglier female looking one.

Try being a pretty boy first before passing as a chic at least, fuck.

Fuck off, binch. You're the most childishly emotionally over reactive that posts here. Don't give me that shit.

Why are you such a passive aggressive jackass? What the hell.

[Assimilate]

The conversation isn't about calling an ugly trans person disgusting; it's about calling someone disgusting because they are trans in the first place. 

But you always try to turn every conversation about trans people into being about 6 foot tall bearded trans women lol

Can we be real for god sakes? Seriously. If the process of transitioning was fully effective and complete i think a lot more people would not care. If you magically snapped a finger and that person turned into a 100% female i think you wouldn't get many people calling them disgusting.

However, they're not 100%, they're not even remotely close to 50%. No matter how hard people want to force others to think they are, they're not. It's sad, i feel for them, but that's reality.

So judging others and shaming them for not being forced to think this way is the real wrong doing here.

Then tell them they're shoesole faces on a person by person basis. I think it's when people tar a whole group in a large swath when issues arise. Kinda like what Resterraria does.

Somebody give me the gist of that ERA Nintendo thread, I can't bring myself to go in there.

Emily Rogers and some other folks blurted out Nintendo would do a Direct on January 11th.

People made false assumptions about the timing of the announcement(today).
Era discovers Nintendo of America reads their hype thread (or at least the Twitter guy does).
As they get mental Nintendo of America starts posting weird shit, like a Mii dressed as a hot dog and a Chibi Robo on fire.
Other publishers join in with the Twitter fun. A retailer posts and deletes a message about an upcoming Direct.

They're basically counting down every hour to see if Nintendo will announce something.

Somebody give me the gist of that ERA Nintendo thread, I can't bring myself to go in there.

Various "insiders" said it was going to be announced today for a while (it wasn't). Lots of people covering their ass either acting purposely vague or outright claiming it's going to be a "stealth direct".

  posters are looking at desperate memes from corporate accounts as "clues".

 Others are looking at some person who did a walkthrough for the new xenoblade for whatever reason

 Tons of people melting down or forcing shitposts about the terrible wait they have to face all be because some insiders decided this was the arbitrary date that a ND was going to be announced.

 People doing on the minute countdown images for each hour.

 Lots of cringe.

To be fair most of the people in the thread are shitposting, bit one of the mods reeeee'd and locked the thread because people were posting fake announcements

[etiolate]

It seems to be hype about hype. A feeding frenzy of nonsense.

[Nintex]

but at the heart of it he's a white guy who's going to other countries and taking various cultures' important historical artifacts. It got me thinking, is it even possible to have a story like this, specifically a globetrotting, historical treasure hunting adventure, that isn't just a imperialistic white male power fantasy that shits all over other cultures?

James Bond (at least in the novels) is far FAR worse than any white archaeologist hero.

Dude is a borderline rapist.

James Bond = Rapist

 

Also the mods are too busy with their Nintendo fan wankery to police this thread. 


Breaking, we're now at indiana jones should be a black woman

Cast somebody who's a woman or nonwhite and you remove... part of it, I guess.

Ultimately, the... call it the adventure archaeologist pulp archetype is largely dependent on imperialist/colonialist tropes, barring a deliberate deconstruction. "Exotic" cultures used as backdrops, their denizens reduced to props or stereotypes, all kinds of wackiness about just straight up taking their cultural heritage (even if it does end up in a museum)... it's not great. Now, could it be better, or at least good enough to pass muster? Sure. Making a black woman (or any other woman of color) the Indiana Jones character does away with the worst bits, like I mentioned above, and spending real time on local people who aren't guides, hazards, or stereotypes does most of the rest. It'll always be sketchy owing to the influence of earlier works, but I think you could probably make it pass muster.
