Daniel Z. Klein@danieizklein 21h I imagine the same power dynamics apply to cosplay and fan events. I'm sure women are objectified and harassed, both verbally and with unwanted physical contact. I'm sure they're spoken over and made to feel unwelcome at events like these 93 t55 Daniel Z. Klein @danielzklein 21h So yes, in the interest of justice, equality, and fairness, men need to be excluded sometimes. That's perfectly fine. Trust me, you'll have about a billion other opportunities that these women won't have. But no, you have to be absolute overgrown toddlers and throw hissy fits. Daniel Z. Klein @danielzklein 21h When one group has too much and one has too little, some must be taken from the group that has too much. That sucks, and if you're used to being catered to your entire life and always being made to feel like the most special boy in the room, the above will be your reaction. Daniel Z. Klein danielzklein 21h If you've never had to think about this for a minute in your life, congratulations, you're privileged as f--- and have been benefiting from a system that makes the lives of other people hell.I sincerely hope these manbabies crying in that thread will grow up some day Daniel Z. Klein @danielzklein 21h But I know most of them won't. That's their choice. My choice? My choice is to reject them from my spaces. They're not welcome here, they're not welcome in gaming anymore. To strive towards justice, we sometimes have to be harsh and exclusionary. And that's okay. 15 3 Daniel Z. Klein @danielzklein 21h If they want to be welcome, hey, they could try not being absolute assholes to women. Also maybe not equating "not being allowed to attend part of a gaming event" with "having to sit in the back of the bus". /thread

INGCULTURE Two Riot Games employees depart after defending a women-only PAX West event to League players One employee says he was fired for violating Riot's social media policy By Shannon Liae I @shannon Liao ep7,208,pm EDT f SHARE MOST READ Elon Musk teases electric plane design and smokes weed on Joe Rogan podcast EGE Image: Riot Games Five things to expect at the Apple event next week League of Legends developer Riot Games has been dealing with allegations of a sexist work environment for the past month, and two employees who defended diversity efforts left the company yesterday, anonymous sources confirmed to Polygon and Kotaku Systems designer Daniel Klein and communications associate Mattias Lehman were known to be outspoken on social media within the game's community. Most recently, that discussion revolved around a controversial decision to keep some events at PAX West open only to women and non-binary people. Klein told The Verge: "I was fired for violating our social media policy." It's still not clear if Lehman was fired or if he quit. Tesla's accounting and HR heads resign on the same day

Someone give this person an award. Re: sexism at Riot games article is that piece coming out? Reply 4 SpaceCop > Khargon 8/07/18 9:35pm Find me some men who work for a salon but are systematically discouraged, belittled and harassed by the salon's female leadership and constantly having their own nail beautician cred questioned by interviewers and superiors (just a "fake nail boi," all the jock nail women say) and sure, someone will run that. Probably not
