Microsoft apologies for scantily clad women at a party. The rant.

This crap.



Again.



This is why we can't have nice things.



I mean seriously, WHAT on Earth do scantily clad women dancing at a party, have to do with WOMEN IN GAMES?!?!?!



Have these people ever been to the beach? A pool? A ball game? Heck, dare I say, a strip joint?



But seriously, this is getting old. There is ZERO correlation between SCANTILY clad women dancing AT A VIDEOGAME EVENT PARTY, and SCANTILY (whoa! hol' up...that's probably not going to come out right) clad women working in game dev!!



Listen, I come from a good family - many of strong, successful, women; I have a teenage daughter (who is probably reading this!); I've been in the gaming industry since they pulled back the curtains decades ago. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN DANCING AT A VIDEOGAME EVENT PARTY!!! And if they're getting paid with our geek/nerd money, well, so much the better because you gotta earn.



Now, if this were hosted at an IGDA event, that's a completely different (that's for another post) story. But this was a game publisher's after hours party (Disclaimer: I was invited; but didn't make it to GDC this year) - for fun!



Then, once again, like clockwork, we have yet another instance of execs, this time Microsoft, queuing up to apologize (!!). Which of course is going to be regarded as a "win" by SJWs intent on their continuing their protracted attack on our industry by any and all means necessary.



People, this is why we fight.
