Darmik 08/07/18 8:05:25 PM #1:	Throughout her three years at Riot Games, the company behind League of Legends, Lacy made it her mission to hire a woman into a leadership role. Lacy had heard plenty of excuses for why her female job candidates werent Riot material. Some were ladder climbers. Others had too much ego. Most werent gamer enough. A few were too punchy, or didnt challenge convention, a motto you can find in Riots company manifesto and recruiting materials. Across the board, youd have side-by-side similar backgrounds, said Lacy, which is not her real name, but the leadership team would constantly ixnay any female candidate for leadership. Hiring a woman into a leadership position proved impossible for Lacy, she said, and she left the company in part because of the sexism shed personally experienced. She said her direct manager would ask her if it was hard working at Riot being so cute. Sometimes, she said, hed imply that her position was a direct result of her appearance. Every few months, she said, a male boss of hers would comment in public meetings about how her kids and husband must really miss her while she was at work. One day, Lacy conducted an experiment: After an idea she really believed in fell flat during a meeting, she asked a male colleague to present the same idea to the same group of people days later. He was sceptical, but she insisted that he give it a shot. Lo and behold, the week after that, [he] went in, presented exactly as I did and the whole room was like, Oh my gosh, this is amazing. [His] face turned beet red and he had tears in his eyes, said Lacy. They just didnt respect women. Women who dont fit in with Riots bro culture - a term I heard from over a half dozen sources while reporting this story - say these amenities help make the job bearable for only so long. Over the course of several months, Kotaku has spoken to 28 current and former Riot employees, many of whom came forward with stories that echo Lacys. Some of those employees spoke on the record; most spoke anonymously because they feared for their future careers in the games industry or they were concerned that League of Legends passionate fanbase would retaliate against them for speaking out. Both male and female sources have described seeing unsolicited and unwelcome pictures of male genitalia from bosses or colleagues. One woman saw an email thread about what it would be like to penetrate her, in which a colleague added that shed be a good target to sleep with and not call again. Another said a colleague once informed her, apparently as a compliment, that she was on a list getting passed around by senior leaders detailing who theyd sleep with. Two former employees said they felt pressure to leave after making their concerns about gender discrimination known. One former male employee said that Riots bro culture is more pronounced behind closed doors, and hurts men too: One of Riots male senior leaders regularly grabbed his genitals, the source said, adding, If he walked into a meeting with no women hed just fart on someones face. The bro culture there is so real, said one female source, who said shed left the company due to sexism. Its agonizingly real. Its like working at a giant fraternity. Eighty per cent of Riot employees are men, according to data Riot collected from employees drivers licenses. In 2016, Riot surveyed its own employees to study the correlation between in-game and workplace toxicity. It turns out that Rioters who received complaints about their in-game behaviour were also awful to work with. According to that study, 25 per cent of employees let go between 2015 and 2016 had unusually high in-game toxicity. https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/08/inside-the-culture-of-sexism-at-riot-games/ --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:906451759] in Kotaku: In...
