Female Game Developer Fired For Calling Other Women "Pretty"
Daily Caller ^ | 3:45 PM 10/09/2017 | Ian Miles Cheong

One of the largest video game industry conferences currently taking place in Poland has become subject to a controversy after its social media manager—and game developer—made a gaffe on Twitter. Her crime? Using the word “pretty” to describe other women. Her innocuous tweet was met with immediate fury from transgender game developers like No Man’s Sky’s Innes McKendrick, who assumed Wiznerowicz’s gender, and demanded that she “shut the hell up and listens to them.”

I bet no one called Innes McKendrick "pretty", thus her professionalism as game developer was never put in question. Too bad that it did not help "No Man’s Sky".

Ah, so “pretty” is the current trigger-word. Always good to keep up on this sort of thing. Next thing you know McKendrick will be mad at me for calling him an ugly pervert. Glad I dodged that bullet.

I was talking to my boss once and she commented that another female employee had a “very pretty figure”. I would have been sent to HR for that.

Calling someone ‘pretty’ means that someone else is not.
We are all equal.

That is their reasoning.....................

I was a manager in an industry where the workforce was 85% female. I got dragged to the quarterly Sexual Harassment Get Your Minds Right Seminars.

-Don’t say they look nice.
-Don’t crack any jokes.
-Don’t make eye contact for more than four seconds.

Meanwhile I would routinely walk into employee lunchroom conversations about sex that would turn me beet red.

Well I won’t be getting “no man’s sky” that’s for sure. Wait a minute shouldn’t that be “no person’s sky” ?

It’s bad enough that Laz would hit any broad, no matter how fugugly.

Now Laz doesn’t even care if it’s a broad!

.... Sigh... I just don’t understand you kids, nowdays.

That, of course, constitutes sexual harassment of YOU, by way of creating a hostile workplace environment.

By that reasoning they should also be offended if someone were to tell them how smart they are.
