https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7xeymz/two-more-women-accuse-nelly-of-sexual-assault I think after reading this alongside all the other sexual assault and harassment cases and that article about riot games, it's undeniable that there's a real issue in the gaming industry related to sexual harassment, assault etc. The handcuff stuff was really graphic...lol What are the best ways companies could combat these issues? I feel like we can and should do better, but how? What is the crux of the problem?

I think the problem is that men and women have been getting away with sexual harassment in the workplace for so long that it’s common. Once people start getting fined or prison time for sexual harassment, people will be a lot less interested in sexually harassing others.
I disagree, to be honest we've been ruining people's careers. The culture change needs to be within the companies. If you focus on the company and not the individual it pushes change, that and cultural changes take time pushing too hard will cause backlash and not the rip off the bandaid type of backlash. But the Trump getting elected kind of backlash, the one with lasting effect.
The backlash from pushing for positive change is never worse than not pushing for positive change at all.
Entertainment leads to popularity, popularity leads to power, power leads to abuse. It’s pervasive and the only thing that seems to work is incessantly calling it out, which is more exhausting to the accuser than the accused.
Abuse leads to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Yoda wasn’t wrong.
If a musical act invites you on the bus, it's not because of your charming personality.
Power and money corrupts. Who knew
Well, for one thing they still read VICE in 2019. But seriously, it's a "boys and their toys" kinda world so you bet they built it in their image. Good news is it's getting better, just taking its damn sweet time to get there
Games industry is a joke, it's 2019 and people only play rehashed garbage and copies of games from 2004.
Huh?
Metzen: literally WoW classic
The problem is the values of gaming companies. It may seem irelevant but its not. Traditional industries have been forcing values in their workplace, which helped create a less Chaotic environment. The misconseption that gaming industry is fun there is no need for strong values brought us here
I think the problem is that men and women are animals and have a biological imperative to reproduce.
If you have so little control over your emotional impulses, the corporate world really isn't for you.
And human biology is pretty much one of the rare ones among mammals because humans can fuck face to face and we don’t have a mating season and that procreation success increases when male and female partners both orgasm. Human evolution favors consensual sex and female orgasm, and having sex whenever and with whoever you want. Sexual harassment and rape are only favored socially in certain cultural practices and/or conditions of hierarchy or inequality. For example: Priests tried to teach Native American men to beat their wives if they had sex with another partner (polyamory was traditional in this group). Their wives all left them and stayed with siblings or kinder partners. If the tribe was run like a male-dominated corporate hierarchy... it may have been different.
gaming industry is hard, expect 80 hour weeks during crunch maybe as much as half the pay you would get working in tech or startup. its pretty much bullies taking advantage of young people's passions
This, I find this more abusive than a sexual joke someone made about a coworker
That's because this kind of bullying actually impacts you. Y'know, because statistically you're probably a dude who has been subjected to demeaning jokes for so long that you're numb to the effects.
Anonymous complaints lol. The accused on the other hand is all over the page.
