No, I never said it meant that, I explicitly said that in the post you’ve quoted for christ’s sake. I said on the balance of probabilities where we do not know for certain the facts of the case, it is a reasonable assumption to assume that most of the work would be done by men in such a setup rather than assuming otherwise. Not that it is a certainty.
You are essentially arguing that if I am introduced to a workplace where there are 20 employees and 1 of them is black, it would be just as reasonable for me to assume that the black employee creates 50% of the assets as it would be for me to assume that they are responsible for about 5%, when I have no other information to go on about their productivity, roles, or responsibilities.
Are you actually serious? That would not be a reasonable conclusion to jump to at all with no other information outside of the employee demographic makeup. Note; i’m saying reasonable conclusion, not definitive. I use the words I do for a reason, and it’s with the hope (which i am seeing is naive) that people actually understand what I mean by them.
Saying something is a reasonable conclusion is not the same as saying it is the only correct conclusion to make.
EDIT: and regarding your “you misunderstood what i’m saying” “some women” criticising these changes is in no way, shape or form “proof” that the majority of women oppose these changes which is what I was disbelieving. Yes, it is “some evidence” of resistance, but it is in no way heavy enough to make the claims you’re making at all.
I go back to my football analogy. me being friends with 10 people who also like football is not enough for me to conclude that the vast majority of people in a city of 20,000 people thus love football. It simply isn’t. It’s proof that “some people like football”. That’s it.
But here’s the thing, I never said ALL women support these changes, not even once. So like many here, you’re arguing against a strawman. Have fun with that.
Dude your are the one here who do not get it the frat boy culture have nothing to do with some art work in a game. Talk about ignorance when you think that some art makes people behave in a certan way show how ignorant you really are. So i can say the same to you less ignorance.
If you have no information on what roles, responsibility or productivity every one have then you can not say that art work in the game was created by men or mostly men.
Coming from someone who claims to be able to read, you clearly demonstrate that you don’t understand a single thing that is written. I literally never said that some art made people behave a certain way. Congratulations on making things up because you didn’t understand what was written.
You’re correct, and I said as much earlier in the thread.
This change is probability prompted by decisions made on a company level in light of the cultural reform being imposed on blizzard. It has nothing to do with individual agendas or ideaology. It is not about “erasing women” or “telling them to cover up” it’s a bunch of suits doing something they think will help them navigate the situation they’re in. It’s as simple as that.
My point about the men doing the artwork initially is more to contest the idea the paintings were created with ideas about “female empowerment” in mind. I never claimed they were created for X or Y purpose, i merely argued they probably weren’t created for THAT purpose. And seeing as how the management of the time has been recently criticised for “endorsing a frat boy culture” it actually lends itself to my argument if they were simply “acting on management”.
But does it, though? I imagine there is a reason that some industries are male dominated, and others are female dominated…
Lets take warehouse worker as an example, lifting heavy things… Gender of employee generally does matter for this kind of job - female employees tend to be assigned to small items
“Play to your strengths” - and male/female do have different strengths believe it or not
Look at mr arrogant thinking he knows better what people meant than the person who wrote it. How about you admit that you were wrong. If not, then go clown somewhere else with your bullcrap. I literally never said that those painting were the cause of the behaviour at Blizzard. Provide me with a direct quote or just shut up instead.
high-tech and art doesnt need muscles.
art department, they hire people with the talent and experience. in some political atmosphere, companies might tell/hire people with a certain strong political views. (but not always)
No, you really didn’t. You making things up based on what you believe people mean =/= providing a direct quote of that. It’s amazing that you don’t even understand such a simple concept.
I didn’t say all jobs, but if I can give any examples at all of where the gender of an employee DOES matter objectively, then it is not true that gender doesn’t matter… I’m not saying it always matters, or that one gender is better at everything than the other, I’m saying that both have strengths and weaknesses, and it makes sense to play to those strengths/weaknesses
Everyone can see that you are making things up. But hey, if you want to present yourself as a liar on these forums, then go right ahead. Have fun in your fantasy world with your made up reality.
and still YOU haven’t proven that i am said liar so clearly i am not making things up. Funny how you think i live in the fantasy world and yet YOU have a problem with some art in a game of a fantasy world. Clearly you have bigger issues with your hypocrisy.
