DoubleDare 01/31/18 9:53:35 AM #1:	https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/1/30/16952294/nolan-bushnell-gdc-pioneer-award-2018 So Bushnell (who started atari) is going to get a pioneer award. But he has said himself (never tried to hide it) that they were wild at atari, like a fraternity, having meetings in hot tubs, have sexual stuff with women, saying how money and power can do stuff. So now women are yelling with one saying instead of Bushnell getting it, it should go to all women symbolically. He still is a pioneer of videogames, and the 70s were wild. I get when they come with with some stuff that was rape, bad sexual assault, with the ones that tried to hide it. But this is becoming the woman who cried metoo at this point. --- On Your Mark...Get Set........GO!!!!!! <cite>DoubleDare posted [p:895171954] in Nolan Bush...

Vyrulisse 01/31/18 10:06:45 AM #7:	Sounds like a typical 70's/80's office style. Everyone was like that... these people are trying to judge the way of things with eyes from today and it just doesn't work. Sexuality and being crude was a lot more acceptable back then even to Women. I've had my mom tell me stories of old office parties and she'd laugh about how her bosses would make fools of themselves trying to impress other girls or showing their asses etc... it was a different time.

It may have been that way in the past, but it doesn't make it okay for a workplace. I'm not saying it was "the good old days" and neither does she. She just says that's how it was back then and mostly everyone "played the game" as it were. It's better nowadays for sure but my point is that judging what was acceptable in the past with the eyes of today doesn't always work. For some things it does but not all. If someone actually comes forward and says they felt harassed by Bushnell and his ilk then that changes things but right now it's a bunch of people unrelated to anything that happened back then taking it upon themselves to be offended for people who may not even exist. --- http://i.imgur.com/6VeX04D.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_V1kG6mRc <cite>Vyrulisse posted [p:895173784] in Nolan Bush...
