People like to whine about anything don't they.

I can't even come up with something witty to say. This is just plain sad.
oh for the love of fuck I don't even
Who cares what some random people on twitter think.
[QUOTE=Ponder;39665115]thanks obama[/QUOTE] Can this be banable now? Its a meme response
The answer to their question is because it's the video games industry and this industry seriously alienates women, unless it wants boobs to be on show for a while
Checking your privileges taken to the next level, making sure you enforce their privileges.
Seems more like a blog post to me.
There's rarely ever female presenters.. I should probably say that I mean there's rarely ever female presenters for video game conferences. (Like E3, GDC, etc.)

it's because there's no kitchen on the stage, duh [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Dumb / trolling" - MaxOfS2D))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=Killer900;39665240]There's rarely ever female presenters..[/QUOTE] Any female presenters I can remember have always been a clueless, largely nameless pair of boobs hired by the company to look progressive. Never an actual developer from the company. It's a shame that there's so few female developers in the industry, and the ones in the industry are treated like shit by most fans for petty reasons (remember the Quantum Conundrum writer talking about leaving Valve? People called her every name under the sun for that).
Oh fucking Christ. Really guys? Really? That's the stupidest thing to get mad over. I swear to god these people don't get that the world doesn't revolve around them...

[QUOTE=Zeke129;39665260]TED has lots so academia seems to be doing a better job[/QUOTE] I think he was restricting it to video game presentations, seeing as that's the topic :v: But almost every other area for presentations does seem to contain more women who actually know the subject matter and are more fairly represented.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;39665286]What about Jade Raymond from AssCreed 1 and 2?[/QUOTE] There are always exceptions. I don't watch every game presentation that comes out, so it's likely I've missed a few female developers, but still, for what I have watched you'd expect at least some of note.
So? I also didn't see any Sumerians in the ad, are we going to bitch about that too?
[QUOTE=areolop;39665205]Can this be banable now? Its a meme response[/QUOTE] no that's like asking smurfy to stop making sensationalist titles
Oh for fucks.. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/what85.jpg[/img] That's like saying that Sony is racist as well because there weren't any black people on stage.. Also she had another saying that if EA does something sexist, she'll buy Activision products instead :v:
How is this even a problem? HOW IS THIS EVEN SEXIST?
[QUOTE=draugur;39665346]So? I also didn't see any Sumerians in the ad, are we going to bitch about that too?[/QUOTE] Wait there weren't any Sumerians in the ad? I'm fucking done with Sony now.

As far as I know, only middle aged Japanese men and Reggie are the only presenters Nintendo has
Why don't people put men and women compete side to side in sports? Why don't people cry over that? Oh, because men would beat women under almost all circumstances in pretty much every sport, that's why. As for PS4 news, I also found it notable that there were ONLY men advertising their new franchises and what-not.
