Witnessing how the world and business' operate these days, it's kind of terrifying being a non-visible (male) minority who's about to go out and tend to some interviews and look for work soon.

 

[hemo memo]

He's clearly pandering to twitter feminists. Otherwise, why stop at women? Does he think all men are white men? Why not include people from different backgrounds and cultures?

Jason is the type of manager he probably wouldn’t hire you because you are a Muslim. Yet cry about diversity and inclusion and finding your true self all day on Twitter.

If you can do the job, and have the resume you should be confident in yourself, and your abelites.

I worked my way up to where I am now. I started off in the lowest position but the most stressful which is master control. i sucked in it, but was always on time, asked the right people when I didn't know something. Also once they found out I was good with computers/servers they offered me a IT position.

Rest is history.

Big word of advice is networking is your friend and never be afraid to ask friends and family who might know people at places your applying. There nothing wrong in asking around.

Right on the money. These types of people are complete weasels. Zero integrity.

 

[Derktron]

Right on the money. These types of people are complete weasels. Zero integrity.

And these are the people that handle the industry and why it's so hard for new guys like me to even get considered to be hired even though I'm Latino. Ironic huh coming from that guy

 

[22:22:22]

Threads like these remind me why I initially chose to stop watching TV 11 years ago as well as Facebook (which I only used for a very brief period mind you) Never used Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and all that other "Social" Media Poison. My only exposure to it is indirect and even then it's mind boggling, infuriating, frustrating and downright depressing to witness. What a fucking weird time we're in. Just glad I wasn't born 2 decades later.

End rant.

 

[Vaelka]

'' Then we added a woman ''.
Note how the women always tend to agree with the men who hire them...

Women who disagree with men like Schreier are gatekept from the industry the diversity is only superficial at best.

 

[Neil Young]

I love how 'freedom' is always juxtaposed against morality. It's a fallacy that you can have one without the other, but you try. I think cause it's easier to shit out your mouth, than put in the effort.


ya'll don't want to be assholes, you just want the freedom to be one if you 'choose'


...rofl, right? look how many of you are butthurt over the idea of hiring brown people... just admit it.

Just an absolutely horrendous and insulting take. In your head, did everyone stand up and clap? For your consideration....

 

[JoeBudden]

Trust me, man, I see this kind of shit everywhere. I work in capital markets and it's the exact same shit. All of this shit is just posturing and its all for self-gain.

It's like that old Chris Rock joke, everyone claims they're not racist until their daughter brings home a black guy for prom.

 

[22:22:22]

See. Now I'm worked up over some two faced subhuman cunt. Fuck.

 

[anothertech]

Fucking tool.

He's the rake in muckraker

 

[Kataploom]

If people care SOOO MUCH about diversity in work environment, they should be trying to convince people from other ethnias and sexes to apply to those jobs. Women tend not to have the same interests than men (this is about trends, of course there are exceptions) and some races are the majority of people in a country/region/city so carreers tend to be inequally spread among people depending of these circumstances.

Why not to make a campaign or more to make more women join game industry? Sure it's a lot of work, maybe that's because, since everyone will just do their own, it's like saying women have no right not to join because they need diversity, since a lot of them are probably going where their real interest is.

These people won't accept that publicly because there's a lot of money involved in making an issue from a non-issue out of this... They will just say "nobody want to hire women"... Which is becoming true unfortunately since many companies are starting to avoid it due to fear of #metoo...

Exactly this

Will a dev ever have the balls to tell these vile, puny, pathetic, little California manlet woketard weaklings to piss off with their virtue signalling and fear mongering?

 

[22:22:22]

It's not so much about balls as it is about not caring about the repercussions. You know this though.

And in the end he is but one cell of this cancerous tumor.

Only if they are getting ready to leave the industry and retire altogether. Which is why Jaffe speaks up about it. But other than that, no, the world of business is now all about what social media says. I'm not saying changes in the work places didn't need to evolve, they def did, especially looking at how Activision.Blizzard is crumbling right now.

Unfortunate business's dont have backbone only ceo's and investors who care what the stock price is. If someone self owned a company and wanted to just say fuck it, and call bs out im all for that person/company.

The thing that irks me is people think place like this and conversations about context is saying we dont believe in the cause and are part of the problem? My thinking is if we dont question things then we are going to start doing some shit on a global, to legal scale that are reactionary to social media/justice narratives. And that is fucking scary and crazy.

NOTE: A lot of the developers at this studio worked with each other at larger studios like ubisoft. They have been connected since they started in the industry with close to the same people.

Let him learn the hard way. When all of this divisive ness comes to a boil which it is, then everyone including companies who pandered to a lot of this will be the talking points.

I applaud you who can cope. I really do.

But do you?

They can’t. The very loud minority will cause a big scene to cancel them on social media and and all devs care about their business so no. Thank god for GAF as you can speak your mind without the stupidness of social media cancel culture.

Really tho, the American entertainment industry is fucking cancer when it comes to this.
I can't speak for other countries but I don't see this shit where I am from or from Japanese outlets and dev studios.
Americans are just obsessed about race and gender politics it's really obnoxious.

 

[Shut0wen]

He blocked someone for saying how does he know one of them doesnt identify as a woman lmao

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Of course, he did. That's what he does.

 

[SSfox]

What a fucking moron, a game studio can have full white people, or full black men, or asian people, or full women, or men, or whatever or it can have each of all those type of people, but what will matters and how the studio should be judge is on how their game are and their quality and experience they bring.

Also this clown comparing his shitty podcasts case to game devs is another proof on how moron is dude is.


(PS: i hate to use "type" of people since a human is a human no matter the color or sex, but this is the only way to say it to morons like Jason thing)

For real, thankfully this stuff never happens out of Japanese studios that I know about.

Also again, funny how none of these twitter robots don't seem to have a problem with the fact that again, Japanese devs are 99-100% Japanese (reflecting the Japanese demographic after all).

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Oh gosh, I hope he blocks me. Off I go, folks!

For reference, here is my comment:

You've got the attention of one of ResetEra's biggest soy boy cucks. Congratulations, you've now officially made it to the big time

Japan is another can of worms when it comes to diversity. There are female/male diversity in studios in Japan, but the discrepancy between men and women over there is very apparent. Women are treated poorly in asian cultures, but again it's part of their culture.


The issue with the west is very complicated, but mainly boils down to people wanting to be represented personally instead of treated like one unified nation. And because of this Our country now has been losing it's identity, we can't teach Teach or enforce English to be the main language, it's now becoming spanish.
We can't pledge allegiance to the flag anymore and be one nation under god. Can't say Amen in a closing prayer at church anymore.
Someone else posted a video about whats going to happen ultimately, its going to take 50+ years to blow up, but its going to happen.

USA use to be about if your willing to work your ass off amid a lot of obstacles including oppression you can gain the American dream. There's nothing stopping anyone from having the most banging resume where anyone want to hire you. Or if you do come across opposition with studios not hiring you based on your gender/religion/ then just start your own thing?
People believe that the world specifically the US is against them to succeed in life? And honestly thats just life, not some evil entity sitting in a chair pondering schemes of how I can hire an all male studio.

I heard this from someone I worked with at Jeff tech Boces and re-heard it from a interview on cnn," You can't always control the outcome, but you can 100% control the effort".
Your effort in how you apply for positions/your demo reel is what you can control. Just because you didn't get the job or were considered doesnt mean you wont at some point, it's your effort in where/how you apply that matters the most.

why is it that most of the people jumping to Jason's defense on this one are white dudes?
Also i love how jason just immediatley jumps to “im right, you’re wrong, and if you dissagree with me i wont defend my position, ill just make a passive agressive comment then block you” i dont use social media for this reason. Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has them. Yet no one wants to defend their argument with facts and logic.

Honestly I think they think people will like them more.. Girls will like them more.


And in broader terms I think Its a by product of media and advertising Industry reaching peak consumer manipulation... "YOU ARE SPECIAL.. and ONLY THE SPECIAL PEOPLE BUY, DO, THINK, WEAR __________ "

Guaranteed the replies to Jason's post are 90%+ people with these attributes:

Pronouns in Bio
BLM/ACAB
Rainbow Hair
Bizarre profile pics

Remember, the reason Jason's replies are all favorable to him is because he blocks anyone and everyone who has even the slightest amount of criticism or even polite disagreement. So he has actively set up his own little echo chamber of bootlicking sycophants.

 

[SuperColourful]

Spoiler

Is this real?

Is that you Jason?

Is that real?

This is fake. I'm sure he believes it but the wording is fake. The original is his twitter handle or something.

Yeah it's fake

The UK isn’t much better mate. I’d imagine it’s an issue with many Western countries which are all living in a bubble of moral and intellectual superiority. Other countries give zero fucks about most of the nonsense Western nations try to push.

There are a lot of people in the entertainment industry that need to get a spine and ignore these idiots, and get off Twitter. Just make the content audiences want and watch the viewing figures go up.

I used to frequent that site, but good god it became too much. I share a lot of their views on social issues. But they would just dog pile anyone at the first whiff of controversey, usually before they could defend themselves. “Guilty until proven innocent” is that sites fucking motto. Leaving that festering ces pool hive of scum and villainy was the best decision i ever made. Even better than leaving facebook. I dont agree with a lot of gaf members, but at least here you’re not a bunch of over sensitive man children waiting to cancel someone at the first sign of controversy.

 

[lughnasadh123]

There's a lot of ways to discuss the merits of diversity and ways to promote those historically repressed groups, but shitting on a group of white guys is an absolute shit way of doing it and honestly does more harm than good.

And im fine with all those attributes, they are good causes. What im not fine with is people refusing to have a discussion and instead publicly shaming someone and banning them instead. My dad is on the opposite end of the political spectrum than myself, when we argue i try to use as many facts as i can find, instead of silencing him. These people just cry and crawl right back into their echo chamber. Its infuriating.

A new Jason Schreier topic, did he already blame Gamergate?

 

[Pallas]

If there is any reason to hate on Jason as a "journalist" it's this right here folks. This ass clown was so high and mighty on his own self-righteous image he couldn’t even do the most basic research to see that one of the fucking producers is FEMALE! Instead, he was content to riling up the Twitter mob based on ONE damn picture.

He has done decent “investigative journalism” before(nothing profound or earth shattering though)but lately he’s getting shit wrong and hasn’t been doing his research, letting his ego come first. Feels like he’s just trying to drive his agenda and not actual journalism.

Honestly, ever since he left kotaku, he’s been more and more a agenda and propaganda machine and less of an actual journalist.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

The building site I'm working on atm is 100% male. You never see a feminist complain about doing that shitty work.

When I was roofing the amount of female hod carriers was through the roof!

Didnt get a look in for all that equality.

The best thing though was my ex moaning she had a hard day, at the office. It was tough for her though, her eight hours (plus an hour for lunch and all those coffee breaks and better pay) really took it out of her, poor thing.

But there you go, all these twats screaming equality until it's a shit job.

Yeah, at the end of the day, it's just a better group when everyone is welcome.
Sure, we will all see things that turn us off, or we wish weren't said, but we are allowed to discuss, debate, change minds, and have our minds changed.

[Stephen Curry]

I like how diversity = looks different.

As if because they are white and male must mean they are all the same and don't have any diverse opinions, viewpoints, or backgrounds. Literally judging a book by its cover. This thinking is so fucking backwards that it boggles my mind how it is the standard opinion on twitter.

Literally the most superficial way of looking at people is considered tolerant and progressive.
