'PC Gamer' Celebrated 30 Years of Video Game History Without Naming a Single Woman

  • From another article on this:

    “There were just a lot of men in the comments on anonymous profiles being like, ‘Well Don't hate the player, hate the game,’” Barman said. “Basically proving that they are men, they're not actually non-binary, and that they very much came [to the conference] in an aggressive nature to take space.”

    And according to people on Twitter and TikTok, women were literally being shoved out of place and jumped in front of in lines, and lots of these men had “he/him” on their badges as their pronouns. These were cis men being jerks.

  • In a transcript of a June 21 conversation included in the new filing, Marcus threatened to upload a sexual video of his ex-wife to Pornhub, adding that he was prepared to do things that would “fck [Brittni’s] entire fcking world up,” such as send the video directly to her family members ― unless she continued to do his laundry.

    What in the absolute hell.

  • For this, you receive the Capybara of Disapproval.

  • It would have been better to not PARK ON HER LEG. They had to lift the car off her.

    It couldn’t have avoided hitting her, but it could have not stopped ON her.

  • So many of these comments are so damn disheartening.

  • If you’ve ever talked to women in tech, they’ll tell you how badly they were treated by male students and sometimes even by teachers, trying to get them to wash out. Literally talk to any woman in tech.

    But I kinda suspect they won’t actually tell you, because we know from experience how a certain type of dude will minimize and try to rationalize away everything we say, so we won’t talk to dudes like that about it.

  • It couldn’t avoid her, no. The bigger problem was that the car parked on her, I think.

  • I think the problem here is more that it parked on her after hitting her. Presumably a human wouldn’t have done that.

  • Anyone downvoting this is boring and doesn’t understand the fun of capybara math 🤣

  • The fact is there are fewer women in STEM because fewer women go into STEM.

    And of course, that has nothing to do with the discrimination women face even trying to get into STEM, and how men actively try to push them out while they’re still students! That’s not at all indicative of a systemic and well-known problem at all!

    I am not at all surprised that an apparent tech bro does not see how tech bros stepping over women is a problem.

  • I still can’t get over how they made a doctor who first brought suspicions about her up apologize to her.

  • Women are ALREADY being discriminated against in the tech job market, which is why more effort has to be made to help them get into jobs. Which is why this event was created, to counter an EXISTING discrimination. Against women.

    But I guess helping women doesn’t matter to you, huh. Now when the poor mens can’t have all the exposure at ONE event.

    When the initial discrimination against women stops, then this kind of “discrimination” against men will, too. So go fight against that first.

  • The ads have been baked in for a while. Every time I turn on my PC, the first thing I see is it trying to get me to buy Game Pass, and when Starfield came out, it was putting pictures from the game on that startup screen. Even after I tried to turn that off, it still showed them.

  • They can go job hunting literally anywhere else, not at an event not designed for them. Women have a harder time finding jobs in tech, and these dudes are trying to take even those opportunities because they think them needing jobs trumps women needing jobs.

  • And women, what, want jobs just because they’re bored?

  • See, I wanted him to run and win just to put a bow on how clown car stupid the current Republican Party is.

  • He was trying to throw the democrats under the bus because the threat from Gaetz was that he was working with the Democrats. But he forgot the Democrats aren’t complete pushovers, just mostly pushovers, and ended up falling under the bus instead.
