Should not be surprised that someone who is not a moron works for a good company like Valve.

Finally a woman speaks out against all this bullshit. If there is any sexism in the game industry it's heavily in favor of women.

I just love how the negative reaction to this/saying there's little to no sexism in gaming is "you're an uncle tom".

Finally. Someone with some goddamn sense.

Men have retreated to cyberspace & the psycho femnazis are trying to invade as with everywhere else (BOY Scouts, yMca, men's clubs, the flipping bathroom). They can't observe any boundaries because they are borderline psycho. Personally I love the complaint.. "He does not open up to me" .. Why would any man allow his own thoughts to be mulled over by someone else. No boundaries at all. (see Borderline Psychotic Personality Disorder). I am older than many here, listen to the Jony Mitchell song: "My Secret Place". You actually are within your rights to start telling women (fault, hourly, every flipping minute for many) to butt out, go away, mind your own business, we don't want to play with you. All the "isms" be damned, start observing boundaries (bidirectional) or deal with the repercussions of your rejection of reality & human nature.

It's likely that Valve is an unusually good company with respect to sexism, given how picky they are (and pretty much have to be) about hiring and maybe how easy their model makes it to avoid assholes, but whether they are or not one person saying that they haven't experienced sexism doesn't tip the scale all that much.

So obviously because this one female game dev who works at Valve, a successful game development company from a Seattle suburb, hasn't personally experienced sexism, it totally doesn't exist in the game industry.

Guess who's wrong!
