I just said it.

wrote it.

an antagonistic discussion between 2 sides?

A competition between two sides.

It's the act of convincing a third party.

What?

So I don't have to believe what I'm debating I just have to convince an audience that I'm right.

feel like im in an ancap server again

Have you ever done debate?

Like the debate team?

i have done debates yes

but not all things i would call debates meet your criteria

some did

What?

So you didn't do debate team.

you had debates?

words have multiple meanings. Do you not understand context?

no, but if being on debate team is the only way to have a debate, then i guess i've never been in one

but i've been in plenty of open debates, with an audience, in public chats

with 2 researched sides

I don't really know what you're trying to get at here we're agreeing now.

Lads

You seen this ?

https://kotaku.com/inside-the-culture-of-sexism-at-riot-games-1828165483

omg

@zutt i saw it , was too long so i didnt read it

its kotaku

well just from the text there it appears there was someone named lacy that was a sexist.

yes and no

Thats why i asked a question yesterday about the dudes that founded riot why should they choose to hire women in positions of leadership

Its thier company not the governments

her intent was sexist, but so would passing someone up who met qualifications just because they were female.

what happened: someone didn't like the work place environment, so they left, and are screaming sexism

to gain moral high-ground

I wouldnt put a women in a leadership position just because she was a women she’d have to have the qualifications in order for me to have her in that position

rather than start a competing business, and try to steal all their works and their market share.

This ^

You dont like it , then go start your own business

well you would fail to meet proper "diversity" standards.

Diversity is code for racism against whites

Its bullshit

"She said her direct manager would ask her if it was hard working at Riot being so cute. Sometimes, she said, he’d imply that her position was a direct result of her appearance."

^ this would be a legit reason to claim sexism but then again also make you question your actual ability.

and men and any other identity you want it to be.

also, would fit the definition of diversity hire

Those sources said that talented women have fallen through Riot’s hiring processes because they weren’t considered “core gamers,” which one source described as “an excuse.”

You hire the best candidate not the least common skin color

😂

@zutt lmao

A game company ...lmao not a core gamer who would have thought

Doesnt sound sexist to me

depends on why they think they are not a gamer

That article is kind of all over the place

the person could just not play games... or could be they are stuck in the 80's where "women don't play games"

“Talented woman”

or they just suck at gaming!

Preferencing Riot’s definition of “core” gamers during hiring means drawing in employees from a larger pool of men than women. Avid players of MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas, a genre encompassing popular games including League of Legends and Dota 2) and first-person shooter fans are typically men.

Talented women wanting to get hired so the can get the #metoo dollars 💵

Lel

this article is filled with 50/50 statements that could be examples of sexism.... but also could just be women just happened to not fit.

vaugeness 😉 the best weapon of SJW's arsenal

so you can change your debate stance to wherever suits you

thought bullshit was their best weapon? or are they the same thing?

Im for women getting hired but playing the “let me blame something other than me “ why i cant move up

Id fucking hire an attractive women over a man with the same qualifications for a marketing job because dat bitch could market shit which = 💰

Lmao

Another woman, who was interviewing for a position far removed from games or game development, said she felt like she wasn’t being taken seriously because, instead of playing League of Legends, she casually played World of Warcraft.

👌

....

@zutt she was a filthy casual

Disgusting

like "She said her direct manager would ask her if it was hard working at Riot being so cute" that is a legit potential HR incident that i wouldn't care about because i would think that guy is an asshole. even if it was me being told something similar by a female manager i would be like "excuse me? what bs is that?"

"After an idea she really believed in fell flat during a meeting, she asked a male colleague to present the same idea to the same group of people days later. He was skeptical, but she insisted that he give it a shot. “Lo and behold, the week after that, [he] went in, presented exactly as I did and the whole room was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing.’ "

that would be a legit reason to question things... unless that "colleague" was slightly hire up the food chain then its bs again

probably an accurate picture of her

beard and all

atleast they're not console peasants

The woman who was asked about her World of Warcraft gear said she felt like an interviewee’s record wasn’t as valued as their ability to fit into Riot’s culture. Even outside of the apparent emphasis on being a “core gamer,” she questioned what interviewers meant when they talked about “culture fit.”

Kek

I never knew riot was this much based

Have more respect for them now

they're a riot

booo

off the stage

the solution here is: tell people to not work at riot, find a better game studio, or make your own

Knock Knock,

Who's there?

Fak,

Fak who?

Fakkaf you filthy casual!

its that simple

tbh, most game dev places SUCK to work at

As a self identifying Windup duck, I've oftened wondered why people don't just randomly give me money when they are passing near me. Now, I must assume they are WindupDuckAphobic.

not even valve, apparently, is that great either

if recent news is to be believed

tbh, I feel like most stories are exaggerated,

The average person is not that smart 😛

actually so true it's painful.

what she probably experienced was more nepotism that anything

yes

which is like "welcome to the real world"

my perception of "Professionalism" got ruined during my internship,

Where i could get away working for about 1-2 hours per day, still met demand

And could convince my direct superiors I was working long hours cuz they didn't understand code

that

and that most companies seem to have a vague feel of "one thing fucks up, its all over"

ye

but as for Nepotism

"Friends helping out friends"
