[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7508711, member: 37579"] Because it’s a serious issue. There’s an epidemic of hate online aimed at female creatives that has ripped through video games, movies, and comic books. It’s hit on RPGs a few times and we don’t need that getting worse. And we certainly don’t need to joke about it like the poor treatment of women gamers in the industry and gaming tables is some kind of laughing matter. You literally just said: which implies a scenario where they wouldn’t. Otherwise, that wouldn’t have needed to be said. And since it followed a comment where you explicitly brought up gender, this also implies they might hire someone who is not the best person for the job but is a minority. Which, by the way, CAN count as an added qualification. Because different life experiences and perceptions offer a different perspective to their writing. You don’t want a team of people who all think the same and come at the game in the same way. Imagine looking at two candidates who can both do the job. One is more experienced but those experiences and their approaches are just like one or two other members of the team. The other is less experienced but offers a different perspective. In both cases you’ll get someone who can do the job. But who do you hire? I’d go with the one that adds more to the team. [/QUOTE]
