You should talk to more women in the video game industry, or working class women in general. There are certain conditions in certain industries that outright facilitate abuse, and the video game industry is particularly notorious for having perfect conditions for it. People in such industries will put up with a monumental amount of shit in order to keep a roof over their heads, and if the higher-ups who would normally be expected to prevent such things are actively participating in it, things can deteriorate to a great degree. Zeus posted... Some of those are things no HR department would let companies get away with decades ago. No, HR departments are designed to protect the corporation, not the workers. HR departments will often outright facilitate or cover up abuse. You've failed to take into account that it is likely that the HR workers participated in the creation of the workplace environment. I once worked in a place where the administration outright covered up the worst sort of abuse in order to prevent the company from being shut down. They did do the barest minimum and fired the perpetrator, but they hid the event from everyone else, including police, and the fucker went on to eventually assault several more people because the crime was never reported. Sure, there are laws about this, but when people have to choose between preventing abuse or job security... shrug Welcome to capitalism. --- Hi <cite>Gaawa_chan posted [p:956374965] in The State ...
