Is he even faculty anywhere? It seems kind of dishonest to flog your terminal degree if it has nothing to do with what you actually do.

idk i kinda think the whole college thing is mostly a bourgeois mechanism to keep blue-collar workers out of the professional-managerial class but that was just my experience job hunting after the rona got my company a bunch of people off and killed an entire business unit anyway

it's very cool, and good, that they get to leave the company with their golden parachute and not be terminated and had their benefits revoked or whatever the technical term for losing your poo poo when you gently caress up at a company is that only seems to happen to us working class assholes, and not the loving vultures at the top, ever, because that would actually be reflective of a culture change, not just scapegoating a couple of guys that got outed while, again, double-checking that their golden parachute is adequately packed.

it's especially fun when they make the argument that preferring to play as female characters means you're rewarding abusive companies

yes, ubisoft is a horrific company run by horrific individuals, but what company isn't? at some point you have to kind of throw your hands up and say 'welp, there just is no ethical consumption under capitalism' and do your best to try and push for more expansive change than just...the firing (or allowance to resign with retirement benefits intact) of a handful of named execs that will just be replaced by another abusive capitalist piece of poo poo

having this autistic rule that you have to play as female characters and then ending up giving money to Ubisoft because of it is peak woke


Its Chocolate posted:

they made an arbitrary rule that they have to play as a girl in games, probably for woke reasons, and it led them to giving money to a company that protects sexual abusers and does terrible poo poo to their employees

Vagabundo posted:

The proportion of women as the default main character in video games has remained in single digits for a while now (gonna go out on a limb and say that sexist shitfuck who just got shown the door at Ubisoft is probably one of many of his ilk in the industry), but there is a clear downward trend in the same for men after a recent peak in 2016 (I wonder why :magemage:).

Apparently roughly 2/3 now have the option to customise the sex of their character, and that has been rising steadily.

I'm gonna go ahead and be captain pedantic on this, but the shitfucks let go so far were "allowed to leave" rather than "shown the door" meaning they basically got their golden parachutes packed, checked, double checked, re-packed and triple-checked before leaving.

Anyways

Slate had this article from a few days ago about how Liberty University spent millions over the last few decades to make a decent athletic program. But Falwell and Liberty's racism towards black people are driving away the black athletes that the sports teams need to survive.

maybe they could make a transition to esports?

Cardi B was very open about her path as a dancer and a SW, and came under some flak by telling extremely graphic stories on her Instagram live about when rich manhattan guys would come in to her club to pick up women, she would get them way too high on street drugs and pills and rob them blind. she admitted to sexually assaulting a couple of them while they were passed out because they were kinda hot and some people got mad at her, but she countered with “they were gonna try to buy my pussy anyway, it’s not my fault Warren can’t handle some lean”

so make of that what you will. She’s unapologetically herself, for better or worse.
