I like how the freaks like Arlo jump on this  :lol

In any other profession you call this 'expenses' . Only 5 year olds and videogame journalists don't understand that concept :trumps
Can't claim expenses if you don't earn any income. All these idiots calling themselves freelancers but basically doing it for free games are a joke.

Man the DC port of Marvel vs Capcom is incredible. I remember the day I got it, it was right before Christmas 1999. My mom came home from walmart, she said she had gone to pick my grandpa up a present, and came back with this for me as a surprise. I have no idea how she knew I wanted this game -- I wasn't into comics and, while I was a huge fighting game fan, I didn't play MvC exclusively or anything in the arcades. Plus it was right before Christmas.

Whatever the reason, what a stellar port. It was like having the arcade machine right at home.

Comes off as kind of tone-deaf given the subject and replies.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/polygon-how-the-founder%E2%80%99s-toxic-culture-tore-apart-fullbright-the-studio-behind-gone-home.466992/

Quote
These former employees said they did not experience or witness sexual harassment or explicit sexism; instead, they said, the studio’s toxic culture hid behind the veneer of inclusivity, as women were allegedly repeatedly broken down by microaggressions.

Quote
They took pride in creating games that resonated with marginalized people, like Gone Home, a coming-of-age story about a teenage lesbian. But at the same time, former employees say they also felt stifled by Gaynor’s “controlling” and “demeaning presence” — someone who allegedly saw Open Roads not as the team’s game, but as his game.

Quote
Women in leadership positions told Polygon that they experienced constant micromanagement that made it difficult for them to do their jobs, having to get even the smallest details approved by Gaynor. This was compounded, they said, by Gaynor’s tendency to disparage and discredit the contributions of female staffers in particular, oftentimes directly to leadership. Some of the former female staffers said they often worried about how Gaynor characterized them to other employees.

“This is going to sound like a joke, but I’m completely serious: Working for him often felt like working for a high school mean girl,” one former employee in a leadership position told Polygon. “His go-to weapon was to laugh at people’s opinions and embarrass them in front of other people.”

Six other former employees corroborated this characterization.

Quote
Following the mass exodus of Fullbright employees in 2020 and 2021, the leads remaining at the company were tasked with hiring new employees. Two sources told Polygon that they were hesitant to hire the qualified, talented women who applied for the roles out of fear of how they’d be treated by Gaynor. Former employees had seen what they perceived as a pattern of young women, early in their careers, being broken down by their time under Gaynor at Fullbright. Multiple sources told Polygon they feared that even more promising talent would be driven out of the industry, like the others.

Some former employees described themselves as “changed” following their time at Fullbright. Many have questioned their abilities, describing their experience with Gaynor as having been “gaslit,” and have sought out therapy to deal with the trauma associated with development on Open Roads and company culture.

I understand how it's annoying as hell to do so many interviews, but there are so many bullshit artists and socially broken weirdos in the Tech field  that those interviews are necessary to filter them out.

It's a huge problem.

That Polygon article on Fullbright is fucking awful.

What are these women even complaining about? Stop using these buzzwords, they're literally meaningless. "We deserve respect." for what? Doing your freaking job?

One of their workers pretty much calls the guy a sexual predator without anything to back it up. Are these the good guys/galls I'm supposed to be rooting for?

Your company as a whole sounds absolutely awful. Good job.

I can believe that he has a terrible management style that drives people away

I can also believe that the kind of company that makes Gone Home might seek out fragile hires who can't take the slightest criticism




the main thing is, don't get attached to "one of the good ones" because as usual literally everything is problematic, you just don't know it yet

Do you feel guilty for taking advantage of takeaway promotions and discounts? Should you feel guilty?

There's a bunch of things where it's better for everyone to let criminals get away with it because the cure is worse than the disease. I know it's child pornography and that has a lot of emotional weight behind it, but pretty sure this is one of those instances.

Nah, you don't get off that easily.



Who wrote the initial ban message?

Why? Especially when it's so clearly false? WHY IS THERE EVEN NOW ABSOLUTELY NO CLOSURE ON THAT, WHY THAT WAS EVER THE BAN MESSAGE TO BEGIN WITH (and how that can be avoided in the future)?



Who signed off on that, especially as I understand, it would have taken multiple staff members to sign off on the INITIAL ban message and say that's okay?



Why did it need to be updated in the first place?



Where in the world is the ACCOUNTABILITY for the initial clearly incorrect, made-up, nonsense reason of a ban message? What form does that accountability take, if there's any at all, and if there's not, how can we be at all confident similar situations won't happen in the future?



If it wasn't part of the initial ban reasoning, why is it now? How does it "better describe" anything when it was never part of the description to begin with until now?



Like I said, this reeks of when Amir0x tried to get away with editing his post and thought no one would catch him back on NeoGAF.



Everything about this is dishonest.



It was not part of the initial message, the reason for a ban should not be able to be retroactively changed like that.



Like "yeah, we initially banned you for THIS thing, but that was mess up, now now we're banning you for THAT OTHER THING instead."



No, no, no.



You fucked up when you didn't make that part of the initial message.



THAT was your chance to do that.



You didn't take it.



Anything else is post-hoc and disgraceful.



Like I said, actually act like adults for once and admit your mistake instead of finding ways to stay by it after the fact.



If the initial ban message was incorrect, just unban the person instead of changing it until you find something that magically fits after all.



As after all, using this logic, not saying you would, but just hypothetically speaking, you can change it as much as you want until you find something that fits. Again, not saying you would or that this or what happened here, but that's what this system allows: for you to change the ban reasoning as much as you want until you find something that just so happens to "fit."



It's a system completely devoid of ANY accountability WHATSOEVER that allows the staff to fix "mistakes" as many times as they want, as many times as it takes.



Again, not saying that's what happened here, in this particular case.



But that's what this system nonetheless allows, and why I can't be a fan of it.



It's just utterly devoid of accountability and far, far, to ripe to abuse, even if that isn't what happened here.



And that's why I bring up Amir0x: because indeed, even if this in particular isn't that type of situation, how are WE, AS NORMAL MEMBERS, supposed to be able to tell the difference between staff that are doing things legit and staff WHO ARE, IN FACT, abusing these processes to get away with something shady?



There's no way for us to know us as normal members, as in both cases, things look exactly the same to us.



The only way to avoid that abuse is to not allow in the first place, even for "legitimate" reasons.



That is to say, you fucked up with the first ban reason.

Even if the updated reason is "legit," you missed your chance to use it.



The only right thing to do at this point is a complete reversal of the ban.



Otherwise, you open the ban system up to corruption, and there will be a smokescreen that will never fade that will make it impossible to tell if ban "updates" like this are indeed legit or just post-hoc covering up fuck-ups and trying to save face.



The only right thing to do, the only way to prevent abuse and make sure trust is able to be maintained in these kind of situations among normal members, is a complete reversal of the ban and an apology and admitting of fault.



With anything else, with anything less, seeds of doubt will be sewn that will only continue to bear negative fruit and lead to nothing good.



Again, this is in the staff's hands.

As a normal member, I can't make you guys do anything.



The choice is your's.

I can only hope you make the right one, both for our sake and your own.



Just be adults and admit to fucking up instead of finding ways of desperately trying to double and triple down, as that does no one any good here.



Again, I can't make you do that.

The choice is your's.



But I don't see how anyone, normal users, staff, or flat-out anyone period benefits from trying to defend this at all at this point and it can only make things worse, for everyone.


Definitely their alt lol

Three pages in, I want to state because it's important:

There is no such thing as child porn

There is only child sexual abuse

This level of pedantry only further confuses an already confusing topic. When I say child porn, everyone knows what's being referred to -- images, either still or moving, captured during child sexual abuse. If we replace the term "child porn" with "child sexual abuse" ITT, then you've made this technology sound way more intrusive than it is. And I say this as someone with a history with this.
:pika

Of course the "independent gamedev" with the Sonic avatar is an expert on AI's scanning for CP and how to create false positives or the opposite lmao.
Yet he won't give you details about his history with this subject but keeps moaning about the definition of CP to avoid 'confusion'.

THE CURE IS WORSE THAN THE DISEASE :trumps

All cops are bastards, and I'm obviously not speaking of Fanone and the officers who did their job during the attack. Just proves that law enforcement is ultimately a rotten enterprise that can't be fixed. It needs to be eradicated eradicated rebuild from the bottom.

I don't think he has a strong moral structure, far from it. I think he's only seeing the light because he's on the receiving end right now. I'm glad he's saying these things, and happy he has seen the light but... I mean, he didn't have a problem kicking the shit out of black people as he says...

Didn’t stuff like Tumblr and PornHub collapsed because half assed counter CP measures were implemented also in half assed way?
