Steubenville rape case. Another one.<\/p>\n
Two weeks ago I saw my feminist crew, all awesome. We don\u2019t talk as much about terrible things in the news like rape cases, how media treats them etc as before because we\u2019re sadly, so used to it. Angry, not surprised.<\/p>\n
We walked the streets. We had heated debates, we wrote thousands of pages, we met this way. I still remember the feeling of entering a bar 90% full of women and sit down there like \u201cyes, I\u2019d like to know more it\u2019s interesting and I\u2019m totally not overwhelmed and looking weird\u201d.<\/em> I was in my early twenties and it would change my life.<\/p>\n Learning that women weren\u2019t coming so much with the help of a dick was amazing. Hurting like \u201coh shit, the power balance I\u2019ve been told doesn\u2019t exist! Tell me more, damn *recalculate*\u201d<\/em>, learning things that looked rock solid but in fact weren\u2019t. Two big paradigm shifts in my head were the realization of all the work women do in this world and gets unnoticed for. Unbelievable. Massive failure of a system forgetting half of its population. The second one was realizing how much physical harassment women get and how much rape is something spread out and happening most of the time inside close circles. These twos things made me think hard.<\/p>\n That stuff clearly pushed me away from the classic machismo culture. Which is the only one in the game industry. I was sad to be sick of deep sexism -and thus avoiding bromancing\/networking- but I was also happy to get that consistency that I love so much in my head. When news like Lara\u2019s controversy, the lack of women in tech or terrible female characters show up I just stare at it and feel that I made the good decision. Happy to see that the message is spreading, slowly through the now classic explanation-men outrage-backlash-little progress loop.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s Rihanna and Chris. I never fucking want to hear anything about them, ever.<\/p>\n It\u2019s just that sexism\/racism are this big thing reducing my enjoyment in this world by a LOT\u2122Louis CK. Like for all of us actually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Steubenville rape case. Another one. Two weeks ago I saw my feminist crew, all awesome.
