Because they should be banned for sins against political correctness.

I just take it as he works at a shitty IT place because I have had plenty of white woman work for me in IT and they do quite well. I am more of a finance guy and my staff and leaders are more and more women and they are as good or better than the men.

It is a shitty thing to say and it has nothing to do with political correctness. Not wanting a drama llama on the team
is one thing, but if someone posted about a women only gaming group there would be pages of meaning and whining here about it.

I would have mocked it, but was busy. I should do that now, I guess, but I will enjoy some roti prata instead.

Attorney 1: And now, my star witness, the aboleth will take the stand. His telepathy allows him to be a perfectly accurate judge of character.

Attorney 2: Objection! By precedent set by His Honor Gygax, I challenge you to step into the Circle of Discriminatory Will! The loser shall perish and all court fees will be extracted from his estate!

There are women only gaming groups, in roll20 they are allowed, the criticism is because the ppl that tried to have a men only group were banned, so it's about the double standard.
Just like in the UK the effing government has job openings where they discriminate against white men. Either it's okey to discriminate or it's not.

Now he said first abt not hiring anybody with a grievance studies degree. And then he said it about young white women. Maybe in his mind most of the grievance studies graduates are young white women (and I think he would be right in thinking so).

So it's not muhsoggyknees. And you're free to mock him, it's called free speech, same thing that allows him to say shit you find deeply offensive.

Quote from: Myrdin Potter;1084847It is a shitty thing to say...

Yeah, I think it's shitty, too. (Not only does it describe a shitty hiring practice, but it I'd say it also describes a legally dangerous hiring practice.)

You can legally discriminate when hiring if you have less than 15 employees.

And you can even dodge that by using contractors.

Judge to Court Clerk: How much XP will Attorney 2 get if he defeats the aboleth?

Hey, he specified white women. White people are oppressors. He's just "punching up".

This place isn't as different from RPGnet as a lot of people want believe. Tribalism, anger, and resentment are pronounced in both. And I'd wager in both forums single, childless, sexually inactive people are dramatically over-represented compared with the population at large.

Sounds like a sequel to Harry Potter. The Law School years.

It's not misogyny to say that I don't want to hire insufferable white chicks because they are all the worst. Any minors or double majoring with women studies and it's always women studies and I'm not hiring you.

I have a team that has 30% women doing actual technical work. I'm far above industry norms. Where is my virtue points for that? I don't get any because feminism is about making the world easier for rich white girls.

You want to know why young white women are the worst? Because they are so extreme even the POC they say they are trying to help find them bat shit crazy. I have black, Asian, Hispanics, and Arabs women all working for me. Yes, I have white women too. But, I have to interview these people and you can just feel it. They are the worst.

Women are great. This isn't about gender. It's about white women over the last 30 years never being disagreed with and having huge Chips on their shoulders.

You are conflating white women with women. See! Feminism is about white women.

Women are fine. Women are talented and equally capable as men and vice versa. Young white women are awful and I hate working with them. If I could trade every white woman I work with under 30 to a black woman, Mexican woman, Asian woman, Arabic woman, Persian woman, I would. It's young white people that are drama woke people. Not minorities

I'm a Person of Color. I deal with these woke white people treating me like a child. You know who'd I rather deal with the worst MAGA guy ever because at least they'll treat me like everyone else and not as a baby unicorn.

You get it. As an Indian American I deal with white supremacy each and everyday and how dare my LIVED EXPERIENCE be questioned. Now, I'm an Asian American which I know is only a +1 to my virtue score and I am male which is a -10 penalty to my virtue score.

Anyway, I was being cheeky. I just am tired of young white women being so terrible and ruining everything.

Even after what you have seen of their behavior you can post that with a straight face.

- They get told that SJGames is unable to really comment about the whole FGG situation due to legal reasons.

Too bad SJGames should even if it causes them legal issues their silence means they are absolutely positively complicit in the entire affair.

- People point out that it might hurt SJGames financially to just stop everything with FGG

They get banned too bad so sad SJGames should lose money and go bankrupt.

-People ask for cooler heads to prevail

Before they get banned they are insulted thrown imaginary word their way by both the mentally ill mods and gamers from the sight such as "concern trolling and sealioning" and you have the stones to comment that this place is as bad as rpg.net. Any credibility you had with me as a poster you had went out the window. Only the most dense and purposefully naive person would do that. This place is far from perfect for you to say this place is as bad as rpg.net.

Send me the address of your drug dealer and check into a hospital you might suffering from a major concussion. This place is as bad as rpg.net give us a fucking break and more importantly get a fucking clue.

well I think you are correct on one thing, and I would take it further

white people are the fucking problem, but not in the way the leftists think. It isn't Indians, Muslims, Persians, etc. pushing Marxism, pederasty, "polyamory", transgenderism, etc. I don't see libraries in black neighborhoods inviting transvestites in to read to the kids. It is Elizabeth Warren, Sanders, and others who want large-scale socialism, identity politics, reparations for slavery, etc. (even though a fraction of blacks even want that).

The "woke", atheist leftist is invariably some white beta-male, or some blue-haired, overweight white girl from an upper-middle-class family.

I live in an Indian neighborhood. These people have no time for this bullshit. They might lean left a bit on certain issues, but they are not psychotic socialists engaging in identity politics--the white people are doing that.

It was white, activist academic Peggy McIntosh who wrote the paper about "white privilege" (the invisible knapsack) back in the 1980s that launched the current wave of hard-core identity politics in the US.
