BBC bigotry. If Morgan were this inflammatory about Black ppl or Jews, would he be invited? Instead he’s allowed to do his ‘gotcha’ question. It’s worthwhile considering why it’s not ‘what is a man?’ The answers wld be so diverse they’d be laughed at. But women are, in the patriarchy, just bodies*

i think any discussion of getting into games needs to acknowledge the difference between pursuing game making as a craft vs game making as an industry

There's a lot to love about RE Requiem so far. But my favourite little thing, that's actually probably super hard to do, is the toss and catch animation Grace does with the torch when you transition from aiming to not aiming.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

It found there was not enough good quality evidence to conclude overall whether the drugs benefited young people or harmed them, so NHS England will not issue new prescriptions while it continues to consider responses from advocacy groups and healthcare professionals.

Saw a post about VAR in football utterly destroying refereeing intuition, their capacity to think, and ruining the laws of the game. Can't help but notice there's a really striking parallel between this and the use of generative AI/reliance on g*t etc.

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot. Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

Cordial but Firm Anti-Creep Phrases

”This is a [professional space] and I’d really appreciate it if you’d act accordingly.”

“I’m not interested in discussing my personal life.” AND/OR “I keep my personal and professional life separate, thanks.”

“I really don’t think that’s appropriate behavior/to say at a [professional conference]. Is there something else we can discuss?” OR phrase it as a rhetorical question: “Do you think that’s an appropriate thing to do/say at a [professional conference]?”

“That is not what I’m here for. Let’s change the subject.”

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

Sexism isn’t new in this industry, nor is it new to me, but during the last #DICE confernece, I experienced more sexism than I have in the 6 years I have been in games. Which says a lot because I was gamergated a few years ago.

At DICE, I had men gawking at me, eyeing my body, licking their lips and snapping their neck to look at my behind. I was dismissed by several people, people assuming I am a student or someone’s assistant. I was not taken seriously or respected until someone vouched for me in conversation. This isn’t a new experience for most women in games, but I was painfully aware of it. Other women at the conference also were aware of men staring and eyeing me up, I confided in several people about how uncomfortable and uneasy it was making me.

I have also had people try to make romantic and sexual advances towards me. I understand that is just part of the game industry culture for women but I am not interested in participating. I also don’t think that should be common practice. We are at a work event, please act accordinly and respect the women in this industry.

This is my fourth DICE, and it will not be my last. I will not allow people in this industry to intimidate me from engaging with my peers and celebrating the people in this industry. I tell students and scholars all of the time to be careful and not allow anyone to harm you into silence. I figured it was time for me to take my own advice.

I hope people see this and understand that this is an onging issue and something needs to change.

I blame none of the organizers or anyone who works for DICE for any of this. They are all wonderful people and I see the work they do to make sure DICE is safe for everyone. The culture in our industry must change! I refuse to allow any one else to feel the way I felt at DICE.

This may also be naive, and a bit futile, but I'm intent on doing something about it. I don't know what form it takes, but long term, I want to build something to counteract the state of things. Sick of lay-offs, sick of seeing juniors waiting even longer than I had to to get a break. Has to change!
