Most countries and borders that exist today are there because of war and taking from natives.
Not for hundreds or even thousands of years, they haven't. Sure, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has come and gone but it did so without the wholesale slaughter or displacement of the people who lived there. Any more remedial history questions?
That's not what mansplaining means. The question to ask is, would the guy have tried to explained how to do her job if she was in fact a man in the same position? It's not about cluelessness, or explaining in a "man" way. It's about whether the guy would have talked to a guy in the same position as she was.
Actually, it looks to be about straw manning, as at no time did Deroir 'tell her how to do her job'. There's this whole narrative that Jessica and her supporters have constructed that is based on past baggage, real or imagined, but not what anyone actually said.
specifically it adds context, e.g. that a woman is getting criticism that a man would not have
No. From your link:
In its early incarnation, it had a straightforward definition: when a man condescendingly lectures a woman on the basics of a topic about which he knows very little, under the mistaken assumption that she knows even less.
...which was even nonsense in its origin, as if women don't engage in patronization, condescension, or delivering arrogant lectures.
In any case one good point has been made: the Reddit Mob, once mobilized, can get anyone at the company fired. That's not a good thing.
Even first wave feminists had the capacity to be full of it - right as they were demanding equality between the sexes the Vietnam war was raging, yet being included in the draft was curiously absent from their demands. Getting equal pay for equal work was of paramount importance - have an equal chance as Bill or Steve in dying on the other side of the planet - not so much. When this is pointed out they generally try to weasel out by saying they were against the war - but that did nothing to equalize the draft.
And on the tropes of asshole bosses being called bitches if they were women yet admired if they were men - which is crap as everyone has had a male asshole boss that they've hated. They should have gone with straight up egalitarianism and solidarity and skipped the demagoguery.
But in a male, that's what is called self-assertiveness.
And that's called total bullshit. If it were a male developer going on an unhinged sexist rant against a woman making polite feedback, he'd be ejected from the company so fast he could wave at the international space station as he passed it.
Or rape? Shit man come join us back in reality when you get a chance. We miss you!
Not guilty is not guilty.
And my post stands.
Hardly. Was Roseanne on ABC's clock when she started comparing black women to apes? Your apologia isn't going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen.
There was nothing constructive in any of his posts. They were startlingly inane.
Not true. But even if they were - it was no excuse for Jessica to lose her thoroughly sexist shit. She's also a massive hypocrite as well, given how she has no problems telling male reviewers how to do their jobs with actually inane comments.
Common, even you know this is BS. Just flip the genders - would you be defending a male developer that flipped out on very-politely-delivered feedback and wouldn't stop going off on how the woman asking the question was a dumb broad demanding his time?
Agree on firing bad employees - but stacked ranking is BS. Destroys moral and company loyalty, while rewarding silos and sabotaging your coworkers to make sure someone else is in that bottom 10%.
It is an obnoxiously facile reply, explaining back to a developer something that basically everyone that has worked in the industry has thought about, let alone someone who works on a narrative team.
Speaking of obnoxiously facile replies, Deroir was not "explaining branching dialogue" to the developer as if she'd never heard of it. That is a straw man that keeps being repeated on this subject and it's BS.
This smacks of exactly the same bullshit entitlement that people have when criticizing (often female, but sometimes male) athletes.
You and the other people repeating these tropes are so far out there you can see Pluto from your house. Nowhere did Deroir act as if he was entitled to anything. The only person doing that was a thin-skinned asshole wanting to have a "safe space" from any feedback on a public twitter account with over 10,000 followers.
You have to go to eighteen levels of straw manning, word twisting mischaracterization to describe Deroir's comments as anything other than polite and constructive.
The guy (Deroir I think is his name) replied to this with a suggestion so insultingly simple it deserved scorn.
Assuming that's all true - then you roll your eyes and brush the question aside, answer it with some friendly sarcasm, or even with (gasp) a professional response. Not by losing your shit and going on a sexist rant from out of nowhere.
Bottom line; your customers are the most important thing you have, so don't treat them like crap just because you're exasperated.
Fixed.
Personally I will now never even consider working with Arenanet's leadership and other devs I know are saying the same thing.
Uh huh. And if you're willing to throw your customers and community under the bus because one of your employees is a snowflake - let me know when you go public so I can buy some put options.
So if another country cures cancer, develops teleportation and extends human life to 500 years....it's totally fine if they commit genocide against your country?
Or, you know, we can admit that "savages" describes tribal people with little technological advancement who raped and murdered each other for 10,000 years before white people showed up, then happily raped and murdered them too.
Racist dumbfuckery. Not every native tribe were heart-cutting Aztecs. So fuck off with this bullshit rationalization for colonialism.
When only 7% of journalists are Republicans in a country as evenly divided as ours, there is NO WAY the news is unbiased or biased in favor of the right.
Democrats are farther to the right of Republicans as often as they aren't (see Russiagate for a current example) and hate the real left more than Republicans do.
When those same left wing journalists (who insist they are "main stream" and unbiased) make error after error after error against that Republican president but somehow amazingly not in his favor, after spending 8 years performing virtual analingus on Obama, it's a sign of a problem.
Obama was a right-wing freakshow, who went well to the right of his Republican predecessors on most issues. Ignore the PR and look at what Democrats actually do for once in your teabagging life.
"Hate speech" wasn't invented as a concept until the late 20th century
Irrelevant. Domestic violence wasn't a term 1,000 years ago, but you were still a piece of shit if you beat up your spouse.
so regarding a two-centuries old text by the standards of political correctness makes about as much sense as criticizing its spelling and capitalization by current standards
The 'founders' were racist imperialist assholes even for their day, so also irrelevant.
Not hate speech, some tribe were brutal savages that committed atrocities, even to other tribes. Your link to Souix issue has nothing to do with that fact.
Slashdot Mirror
Then you're incapable of basic reading comprehension, or love attacking straw men. Your loss either way.
That's exactly what it means: attacking an argument no one has made.
Not for hundreds or even thousands of years, they haven't. Sure, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has come and gone but it did so without the wholesale slaughter or displacement of the people who lived there. Any more remedial history questions?
No more or less than the people who high-fived when Roseanne was fired.
Not the point. You know what it was, so feel free to address it.
Actually, it looks to be about straw manning, as at no time did Deroir 'tell her how to do her job'. There's this whole narrative that Jessica and her supporters have constructed that is based on past baggage, real or imagined, but not what anyone actually said.
No. From your link:
Reddit is irrelevant here. The internet didn't create Jessica's volcanic temper, nasty streak or hypocrisy.

I could go point-by-point on the rest of your facile bullshit, but I'll just leave you with one of Jessica's tweets where she nastily tells a male reviewer how to do his job.
Not only is Jessica full of shit on all counts, she's a massive hypocrite as well.
You have to go to eighteen levels of straw manning, word twisting mischaracterization to describe Deroir's comments as anything other than polite and constructive.
Defending sexism with more sexism. Charming.
Nice dumbfuckery. Protip: acting as if people disagreeing with you proves your point doesn't actually work.
You wish. Whining about Aztecs is just whataboutery, which means you lost the argument, klansman. Try less racist dumbfuckery next time.
Assuming that's all true - then you roll your eyes and brush the question aside, answer it with some friendly sarcasm, or even with (gasp) a professional response. Not by losing your shit and going on a sexist rant from out of nowhere.

Too lazy to come up with something better than a half-assed straw man?
So if another country cures cancer, develops teleportation and extends human life to 500 years....it's totally fine if they commit genocide against your country?
Racist dumbfuckery. Not every native tribe were heart-cutting Aztecs. So fuck off with this bullshit rationalization for colonialism.
Nice racist circular reasoning. What's next, citing Elder's of Zion?

Whataboutery to justify racist imperialism FTL.
