Weren’t a lot of those blizzard interns doing shit other than working on games? I want to say those female interns were doing shit like marketing or HR or working in accounting, not actually sitting down and working on code.

Does this end after the first episode where she's required to ride on her skills and not her vagina and she gets fired for being shit? Or that she's talked to bluntly because nobody cares if she breaks down and cries? That no one cares how she feels? That she can't actually get a job because its harder when you don't have a diversity box to tick? That even when she feels like shit, she has to 'be a man' and suck it up? No? That its only going to portray men as being some sort of supernatural creatures who have this magical privilege?

Honestly, I know exactly how to do a show like this in this political time period. You have it go normally, everyone treats her like a 'man' and she's treated really differently than she was before (except we don't know how differently she was treated because its never shown). At the last episode she comes in, 'I'm a woman, bitches!'

Except everyone knew the whole time and just thought that she was just some weirdo or gay.

Also, lol, grants for twitch streamers. Does that include breast implants or teaching them how to fill 85% of the screen area with their chest?

There was a lesbian, Norah Vincent, who decided to pretend to be a man for a year to see how it is.
After the experiment ended, she concluded that being a man sucks and being a woman is a privilege:

It was the best. She was out to go 'lol, I'm going to kill the patriarchy' and at the end she's like 'there's no patriarchy, male privilege doesn't exist.'

They do know they can get arrested for trying to pretend to be a man while being blacklisted.

I know this is fake. But they are treating it like a drama and not a comedy. LOL

Blizzard has cucked their own game so hard you have to talk in code to shit talk on Overwatch. Next up you get banned on Overwatch for admitting you're a man. I mean, you get banned for literally fucking playing the game.

The triple combo of objectification, infantilization, and instagram-like relentless positivity sure does wonders (:_( for mental health.

That's literally deepfakes. All this whining about how THE MENZ lack the empathy to imagine how technology is going to be used against women (deepfakes, inferential classifiers, triangulation on dating apps), and here they've been working on the same fucking thing.

A badly designed experiment leading to an unfounded conclusion. She can't emulate the experience of actually living a man's life by pretending to be a dude while going out.

(Wo)manhood is being born, raised, educated, socialized and legally acknowledged as a (wo)man, knowing you can't quit your life and go be someone else without suffering significant loss. Losing a job sucks when you have to face your family's disappointment and your neighbors' derision, and rocks when you're getting three chapters' worth of material for your six-figure book deal out of it and an opportunity to drag your boss and coworkers through the mud. Getting rejected by a potential date doesn't sting so much if you wouldn't be going further anyway and had a measure of power over her all along.

And on the other hand, she hadn't experienced the long-term benefits of growing up as a man of her social class -- having friends (her new male persona obviously started out having none, and it's not really a friendship if you can't talk about your problems), entertainment that caters to you, more "networking" opportunities, a better job and a greater quality of life that comes with it.

So it's no surprise that building a new life from the same baseline is harder than living her own where she has friends, romantic relationships, and a career. But it doesn't prove anything. The source of her mental problems (she had to get hospitalized for realz, although with another book in mind) was forging relationships based on lies, being an asshole to decent people, and being on high alert when she was supposed to be socializing and relaxing.

With that in mind,
As strange and politically incorrect as Emma’s new life may be, she begins to enjoy the newfound ease of access and power that comes with being a man.

Bullshit. The "ease of access and power that comes from being a man" is getting parental guidance/support, a good education, a polished CV, and knowing the right people. If you don't have any of this, you don't have "male privilege", dick or no dick. Simply pretending to be a dude won't help, especially since her references have been set on fire, and the "access and power" she gets in the story come not from gender but from pretending to be another person who wasn't blacklisted.

Liberal feminists are entitled cunts who don't understand sexism because they've never experienced it.

you know, i'm getting tired of being told i have a nice easy life from people with more power and easier lives than i do.
people who can just scream MUH VAGINA and get what they want instantly
people who don't have to actually work
people who don't have to listen to feedback
people who can run into an echochamber and have tons of soyboys and dangerhairs throw money at them because someone said they were less than 100% the best ever.

YouTube has ordered a pilot episode of the half-hour comedy It’s A Man’s World (working title), in which a woman who gets blacklisted from the gaming industry must pass herself off as a man to re-enter the field and continue supporting her family, Deadline reports.

Longtime TV writer Theresa Rebeck (Smash) will be scripting the series, which will be produced by Assembly Entertainment in association with ITV Studios America.

The pilot order doesn’t mean It’s A Man’s World is guaranteed to get a full pickup from YouTube — but if it were to do so, it would be joining a roster of 50 original series YouTube Premium plans to premiere in 2019. Luke Hyams, YouTube’s recently appointed head of originals in the EMEA, said earlier this month that YouTube is seeking “personality-driven, authored pieces with the potential for international appeal.”

Hyams also said YouTube is seeking “more serialized half-hours” — so it’s not surprising It’s a Man’s World is on the books. Especially because the widespread gaming industry sexism that the women targeted during 2014’s Gamergate tried to call attention to is still apparent today.
 
Yeah, the whole 'men's connections' thing doesn't come from wandering into a place and singing, "I have a peeeeeeeeenissss~" It comes from socializing and getting in good with other men. People do favors for friends and friends of friends, news at 11. Some random asshole who nobody knows is not going to get magical assistance in life solely based on his perceived sex.

I keep thinking of Rome with all these companies, they keep percieving themselves as too big to die so they keep getting weird idea's in their head and doing stupid shit. Youtube keeps trying to persuade itself it's something it's not and is spinning gold into shit, with the absurd attempts to be a tv channel or netflix.
In contrast the AAA Gaming industry keeps pretending it's some sort of moral force in society as opposed to a bunch of corporate bastards who'd have women employees chained the kitchen and their shareholders claiming jus primae noctis if the Shareholders demanded it enough. All the nice stickers on the privy mirror in the world can hide how deeply cynical and souless this all is.

This bloated horror can't continue for these companies indefenatly, size does not prevent collapse it just draws the whole thing out. We're at the early stages of the Rot, the self-indulgant complancy is really gaining traction. Now all we're waiting is for a variable to slip and I watch them fail to react accordingly.
