losing my mind. gamedev is a cesspool, we've known that, but somehow polish gamedev takes the fucking shit cake. many of you probably heard about it already but I need to rant all the same and I waited long enough just to be safe.
so there's this studio, they're looking to expand their team as they're committing to a bigger project now. lots of people are looking for work so everyone happily accepts the interview invites from the main dude from the company. on paper, all looks great: there's some confusion about the project and the money and the expectations, sure, but that's a given in this field. things are always confusing.
and then, halfway through whatever recruitment conversation you're having with the dude, no matter the position you're getting interviewed for, he hits you with the main point - all with crass emojis and shits and giggles:
the game is about a sauna. so the main expectation is for you to take part in sauna sessions with the team, and with him. hehe, nakey nakey, tits out, we're all friends here so you shouldn't be embarrassed! if you don't want dudes seeing your tits and junk, hehe, we can offer you to only go to the sauna with the ladies in the company - they'll take care of you, wink wink! but nude sauna sessions with "asses out, haha, like a nude sauna larp" are the main expectation.
and he sends you nude photos of models at the beach to "show you the beach that'll be the backdrop of some scenes". tits out, have at it. if you're a woman he starts making stupid ass innuendos. if you're a dude he tries to start some sort of camaraderie over the whole thing. he makes inappropriate jokes asking if maybe you have some lady friends working in game dev looking for work, too.
the dude is now frantically editing all the public linkedin posts he made about it. deleting the recruitment offers. he's so fucking surprised he was met with disgust and resistance and somehow no one wants to sign with him... what the everloving fuck.
Sure. The real muses (multiple, because apparently Taylor was a horn dog that slept with every woman she came across) were all SO special and hidden and such a secret that Taylor needed Karlie to be a beard for them, with Karlie being kind enough to let Taylor’s fans harass and bully her for years, and then needed a man to be a beard to cover Karlie. Multiple men, at that.
Don’t like Karlie? Take that up with Taylor!
She’s the one that recreated their Style VSFS walk and does it night after night after night.
And that’s just one of the absurd amount of examples. No need to twist yourselves into pretzels to prove she’s not really actually important to Taylor and only the other women are. Just because you don’t like her, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t exist.
something i will forever be mad about and was just thinking about; people accusing kit connor of “queerbaiting” so much that they forced an 18 y/o to come out
1. straight people can play gay people (ie. eric stonestreet as cameron tucker; modern family) and gay people can play straight people (ie. neil patrick harris as barney stinson; how i met your mother)
2. there are PLENTY of queer characters in media whose actors have unconfirmed sexualities. WHY are you attacking specifically one kid ???
3. “queerbaiting” cannot apply to real people in media. characters in media? sure (ie. kara/lena in supergirl) but go after the network (ie. the CW) not the actors. but a bisexual character played by an actor with an unknown sexuality? NOT queerbaiting.
4. i get there are stereotypes of what a queer person should look like (im guilty of trying to adhere to those) but appearance does not equal sexuality/gender. queer people can ‘look straight’ and straight people can ‘look queer.’
anyways i’m a hs stan and will forever be angry about that whole situation
For anyone who wants a sneaky peak at what I have planned for Halloween this year- anyone up for a little Lost Boys x Tainted Love crossover? 🖤🩸🏍️ Frances is the Vamp. Birdie is the victim
Rolling a dice to see if the filtered post is actually just blurred because it’s talking about sexuality (totally valid and cool) or about sex (very ew and not cool).
I thought Disney cannot disappoint and infuriate me more after Snow White live-action
I was wrong
What the actual fuck is going on in the idiotic Mufasa?????
They're not brothers??? Mufasa took the throne from the rightful heir Taka??? ARE THEY ON DRUGS?!?!?!?!
Have the assholes in Disney forgotten, that The Lion King is LITERALLY Hamlet for kids?!?!?!?!! There was no secret about their past!!!
And Scars line about "I was the first in line for the throne" didn't need to be explained! He was! As the younger brother of the childless king he was! And then that king had a child and Scar was moved down! That's how the line of succession works!!!!
