the game industry still has such a problem with women, except these days, it hides behind plausible deniability. “she was difficult.” (she had burnout) “she wanted too much.” (she asked for mat leave) “but we’re so diverse!” (we hire women and treat them badly, but it’s not our fault they leave)
Passing through Cologne on a train and saw a very worn sign for the Australian Pink Floyd Show. I didn't even know that was a thing we did, or had

Do not let anyone spin this into some racist bullshit. The rightwing hatemongers who now will surely want to deport everyone to “protect the queers” have enough people in their ranks who are planning similar attacks.
