Things I’ve been told by men in the game industry over the last 10 years: - Smile more - You’re too emotional - I can see you’re getting mad - It’s fine if your shirt is too low, you’ll get more views that way - Do you even play games or do you just stand there and look pretty

- Your email was too abrasive - You’re being too pushy - You were put on this project because they expected you to fail - Are you single? - I bet you’re shit at games - That’s a dumb idea - You didn’t get the promotion (no reason)

If you or someone you know has said one of these things to a woman in the industry, whether it be game dev or content creator, think long and hard about it. And don’t fucking do it again.

I don't see why all listed things are specifically told by a man to a woman. As to me just comments from some arrogant and/or ignorant people, which they can say with some variations to anyone.

The sad thing is, as pointed out by Katrina, these comments are specifically targeted to women only because they are women while men could be targeted for other reasons.

What can I say, that's indeed sad then, Bryan.

And I'm definitely not saying men don't have to deal with rude things like this being said to them - Because it does happen, I'm just saying all of these things have been said to me and a lot of other women without any justification.
