It’s not reasonable for a person to not be allowed to say “that’s my wife or husbands picture on my desk” and then be able to handle the follow up questions you asocial weirdo.

Reminds me of when this math teacher at my high school had a whole presentation for the class after Valentine’s Day about what he did for his wife, a fellow teacher at the same school , and how much he loved her. Completely inappropriate and on its own bizarre. Then he got caught with a student a few weeks later and disappeared with her. It was a little shocking as he was big on social media and had a whole youtube channel on teaching math that’s still up. I heard rumors that someone found him and he ended up marrying the student and became a postal worker.

Hey so I just skilled into a Zirnitra(its a loving TRIANGLE DREAD!) and I can't wait to get into a capital fight with the enemy so I can OWN THE OTHER SIDE. What have you fellow eve online enthusiasts been skilling into in this AMAZING internet spaceship game? Also any really decent people I can get in game to be real friends and not total drama obsessed losers? Asking for a friend. tia

The whole point of the law is to completely remove sexuality and personal matters from K-3 education. I see zero reason that it won't be followed by straight teachers. If I was an LGBT parent and got word that a straight teacher was ignoring the law that an LGBT teacher was expected to follow I would raise hell until that teacher faced consequences, and rightfully so.

its nice every once in a while for delta and goose people to run into each other and shitpost some dipshit into eating a ban

apparently the pubbies on reddit think we are the same group which is pretty loving gross.

no offense, just... like why would we play eve online...

Sure. Anyone wanna talk about that CCP survey that went out instead? What are everyone's feelings on things like "inclusion" and "not making this game an acid bath experience for women?"

I don’t expect women’s voices to have enough weight

Rhymenoserous posted:

I don’t want my only posts in this thread to be non topical and despite all my shitposting I do like that goons are still carrying the torch in eve so I wanted to come back to this. Though my opinion is gonna be pretty negative.

I don’t know how they think they can address this in any meaningful manner that isn’t slapping a “girl colored pink bandaid” over a gaping wound.

Ultimately the toxicity of this player base towards women is one that would need a lot of social engineering and monitoring of tools that explicitly do not belong to CCP to clean up. The worst of the worst horrible game ruining sexist poo poo I ever heard was in fleet coms, jabber and so on, not in the game client itself.

Without a big demographic shift towards women playing this game independent of whatever CCP does I don’t expect women’s voices to have enough weight to push through the white noise of a ummm at least moderately awful user base. There’s a concept of a poisoned well, wherein once so much poison is in the well you’ll never get clean water out of it ever again. Gaming on the whole already has a problem with this and much as Goonfleet lags behind something awful cultural moores by a good decade so also goes eve online to the rest of gaming.

Honestly you need look no further than the response on Reddit to the current problems to see what I mean. At best CCP can axe folks doing it within in game chat channels, they can promote women devs to encourage interest, but considering the last time a CCP lady got promoted from the gaggle her nudes were posted within the week, I’m gonna just continue to be skeptical that this player base is gonna play ball.
