Ah yes, because being vulgar and sexist is mutually exclusive and it's not possible for there to be overlap

G*mers and racism

Hope i don't win anything, this feels like a lose-lose situation

The developer comes across as the kind of ultra bro-ish 90s gaming magazine kind of guy. With that said the extent of the sexism I've seen was just "we're not making this game for women". And I am frankly ok with games existing that understand they're for one target market or another or whatever. It feels like IGN has been really milking the sexism thing when it comes to this game and it really seems like they want the game to fail in a way that goes beyond how they behave with western devs. I don't see them behaving this way to all the western devs that thoroughly deserve it. It makes me think that the game being Chinese in origin plays a role, particularly as they don't miss out on telling everyone it's Chinese each time.

For those who are reflexively defensive about anything China related, Chinese state supported media covered this story years ago. Chinese women themselves have been vocal about the creepy shit from this studio and sexism in the industry in general.

Game Science may not have been prepared for all that attention. The day of the trailer’s release, founder and CEO Feng Ji wrote on microblogging platform Weibo: “We’ve been staffing up with new hires, and I’ve been sucked off so many times I can’t get an erection anymore.” Two days later he came back for more, writing, “Watching it (the trailer) made me wet too… My pants are about to burst!”

Soon, internet sleuths had unearthed a pattern of lewd and offensive job postings by the company dating back to 2015. In one of the ads, a mouse cursor is placed over the private parts of a nude woman in a painting. The job advertisements were taken down after the controversy broke, but their sheer crassness drew harsh criticism, including from the country’s female gamers, many of whom had enthusiastically promoted the trailer when it was released.

Is there any way to raise the status of female gamers and reduce sexism in gaming? Any real solution must involve improving the social status of Chinese women in general. But as for what the game industry can accomplish on its own, bringing more female voices in would be a good start. This would hopefully force companies to respect and consider women’s perspectives before making design decisions.

G@mers and racism?

EDIT: yep someone said first it goddamit

Truly, g*mers transcend national boundaries

I hate Gamers I hate Gamers I hate Gamers I hate Gamers I hate Gamers I hate Gamers
