Do you understand how insulting and demeaning it is to call a woman an “it”?

remember when the game was really good because they hired based on talent, passion and merit instead of looks, plumbing, and preference?

It’s just an HR title, nothing too special. These positions don’t know how to work in the production part of the company. Nothing that is going to impact game development in a positive or negative way for the most part.

Imagine defending stereotyping, and thinking it’s a good thing.
Lol must be the 1950s

Grats to her new position. Don’t have any strong opinion on this.

Because all corporations are seemingly ‘required’ to have one now. Even the company I work for has one now when the position didn’t even exist when I was first hired.

It sure is a thing that happened.
I mean, for insurance purposes they likely are. Just like random drug testing and firing on major screw up even if you REALLY LIKE the employee.
A lot of the time a business really has no choice but to do something to either conform with legal, or conform with insurance. Of course people who don’t think of this tend to just think the company is evil and picking on employees or pandering… and it may be pathetic, but in the litigious society in which we live its far more often reality than not.

You can tell when people have never been in a hiring position when they ask why not just hire the best person.
It’s not always that obvious and often comes down to bias and a coin flip.

Imagine thinking there is equal diversity of interest.
Which is the root cause for a lot of these issues. There may be unjust reasons for that unequal diversity in interest, like more woman apply for HR, fashion and nursing positions and more men apply for roofing jobs, but that’s an issue upstream of the job posting.

The better the quality of life is for the employees that work on our games, the better our games are likely to be.
So my thoughts? Everyone here wins, really.
But it’ll probably upset people who listen to Joe Rogan.
