Re: Of Reason and Faith
You probably spelled it right, they spell those things so crazy. It makes me really roll my eyes...
I'm a female developer who supports Gamergate actually. As someone who's worked with a lot of the key players involved, they are not misogynists. They're incredibly open to groups of all kinds. That's why you get "not your shield", because people like me are really sick of being used as ammunition for these people who don't really know what they're talking about. Most of the people who are against it aren't even in the industry, or are in the indie industry, which faces its own corruption. Sure there are trolls who are assholes and some people involved are pretty stuck up and won't admit that, but for the most part it's a very inclusive group. In fact, many female developers support them.
The industry has been extremely accommodating for my actual problems and doesn't really seem to care about my gender one way or another. As such, I've been allowed to flourish. I'd say I'm doing pretty well my age!
I'm really tired of all the crappy media attention they're getting because it's just continuing to feed into the "BUT MUH MISOGYNY" narrative that you see so much. Zoe is a complete loser who thinks that a tool that builds HTML code for her is "programming", Anita is a scammer, a lot of the actual journalists have said some of the most vile things you can think of... I'm sure people who are in opposition mean well but there's a lot of manipulation going on from the antis.
But I digress, if I get too heated I'll go way off topic. I already have though... lol
