Shamrock95 +4 4. 0 08-18-201515:50 AM The reality, of course, was that a guy did a thing, realized it, and had the f------ integrity, dignity, and bravery to admit he was wrong. No, Sargent. The reality is that this man's monumental achievement in science and astronomywas undermined by a bunch of squawking feminist idiots who couldn't see any further than the damn shirt he was wearing, and proceeded to forever tarnish what should have been a wonderful moment of triumph for him. Why? Because they were labouring under the delusion that they have the right not to be offended. People weren't angry about it because of political correctness, they were angry about it because it's a perfect example of the petty and mindless BS that passes for third-wave feminism. When people make fun of SJWs, they're not talking about the people who are standing up for genuinely good and noble causes to defend the rights of minorities. They're talking about the keyboard commandos who have nothing better to do than try and stir up outrage over someone's choice of clothing or how they choose to sit on a f------ bus. Those people deserve NOTHING but scorn, and anybody who thinks hemigt be onto somngd tdusional at worst Reply
The video-game industry has a dress code Article say bullshirt for lack of memory and willing ignorance Article say bullshirt for lack of driven by a lack of diversity Holly Nielsen And do not forget double standards I wasn't expecting a young, vibrant creative world to have a uniform. But there is an insidious pressure to fit in, and it involves plaid and denim ost professions have a uniform of some kind, whether it's the suit and tie of corporate culture, or the brand-asserting mono-wear of the world'smajor retail outlets. Sometimes, however, dress codes can be much more insidious. In the world ofvideo games, a young creative industry that seek assert its rebelliousness and vibrancy, we are required to conform through essity or tradition. But one thing I discovered very quickly when I started working here is that there is a uniform: it's just that this one is the result, not of workplace CD rules, but of a lack of diversity, And it can. be just as excluding It was the night of my very first launch party.

It's the joke we often make about the industry, but there is plenty of truth in the stereotype. This tweet from developer 2K Games (although clearly a joke) pretty much sums things up Just another day at the 2K offices... pic.twitter.com/PZs1VRsli Go to any games event, whether its a major premiere or an indie expo, and the room will be filled with people in this ensemble. It's not that men shouldnt dressa lumberjacks, everyone deserves the freedom to wear what they want, but the unremitting casualness of the games industry has almost become a stifling uniform in itself. Most of the time, you'll only ever see anything smarter at a formal event, like the Bafta awards - and even then, we're talking hired Moss Bros suits or emergency polyester purchases from the nearest budget clothing outlet. In thisindustry, "smart" means wearing your box-fresh Adidas Sambas rather than those battered Converse with the sole flapping off.

In its 2014 workplace study, the International Game Developer Association found that the number of women in the industry has doubl in the past five years, but it still stands at just 22%. And at industry events it can feel like a lotless. I was acutely aware of standing out, the clothes I liked to wear didn't fit in with the consensus of casual boyishness. Consequently, I found myself consciously wearing more androgynous outfits, my dresses and skirts were pushed to the back of the wardrobe, and I started choosing plainer clothes that I wouldn't have reall considered before.

A uniform implies control and regim where those constraints should not apply. Indeed, we are lucky to be part of a culture that is still forming its own identity - that can be a wonderful thing. We joke about the stereotypical games industr y look, but we need to be aware that it is the product of a lack of diver sity, both in terms of gender and ethnicity - as such it can seem just as exclusionary as the tailored suit and tie of the professional world Of course, m not saying that the whole industry nee more welcoming toward different concepts of style and identity.

That or Zack (Pebble's real name) will just go to New York to be with Jon. One of the rumors I hear regarding Jon's leaving is it might have had to do with a strong disagreement on a certain subject and neither have gotten over it, but another common rumor is that there were problems between Jon's girlfriend, Nicole, and Arin's wife, Suzy. Nicole seems to have hinted that, around the time they left LA for NY, Suzy was being kinda… bitchy. No outright verification though, so don't quote me on this.

I heard that Suzy actually hit Nicole for some reason. (Also no verification)
The most compelling theory I have heard is that Jon did not like how Arin was controlling Game Grumps (becoming more business and less "Two friends hanging out", making decisions behind Jon's back including the addition of Steam Train, treating Jon like an employee), and Jon wanted to actually work on his art.
Sadly, it seems that everyone, including Jon, is fine with getting over the split…except Arin and Suzy. Just judging from my own observations and such, that is.
I will personally always prefer Jon because he has integrity and will actually stand up for himself and his art. Arin just…beat-boxes and tells people to "pussy up." Anywho~
Jon hangs out with Spazkid and Stamper (Recent Continue episode thingie), so hanging out with Zack and Oney is not far off. :3
