Wait, they were having sex with people at the party? Are they prostitutes or dancers?
just like booth babes at E3...
First of all bad analogy because everyone of course handles stuff differently with family members.im kinda surprised that so many people are ok with that.
so if your sister or mom told you she was a stripper or an escort (i think it's just another word for prostitute) you wouldnt have any problems with it, you'd be glad they finally found a line of work that suits their tastes, right ?
hey guys women getting work based on their physical appareance is completely unnaceptable, by accepting this fact in society we are actively preventing all of them from becoming brain surgeons.
I can't help but laugh. Who are you to judge what someone else finds to be a satisfying job. Perhaps these women love socializing/dancing at these type of parties. Or perhaps they just enjoy the fact that the job pays very well compared to the average job that you consider to be far more fulfilling. Either way, it's up to them to decide what to do with their lives and careers, not you. The very notion that you find it necessary to "protect" these women from these "vile" jobs where they get paid well ironically makes you rather sexist yourself. After all, women, like men, can make their own choices in life just fine.A woman's life shouldn't have to be about "getting by", it should be about having a DECENT good-paying and satisfying job. Most if not all of the men at that party have jobs like that. I am helping to spread awareness of this mistreatment of a gender by a company of developers that a lot of people hold dear; surely I'm not a white knight, I'm just saying.
Do you really think so little of strippers and prostitutes that can't fathom the agony of one of them being related to you?
I think we should stop worrying about the lives of other grown adults and let them live how they want.
hey,this is legal to

Look, the reality is this line of work isn't going to help your last 30's/early 40's. Then what are these people supposed to do with their lives? Just marry a rich man and perpetuate another stereotype about women? We should be helping women get better jobs and have better lives.

This thread is getting loco.
I don't think you realize how sexist you are being right now with this attitude. Who are you to tell a woman what to do? Why should you be an authority over what they do with their lives? I have a few friends who do this kind of thing as a side gig, one of whom just graduated law school and another who works in online marketing. It's just something they do on the side. They get paid to go to parties. If I were to show this thread to them they would laugh their asses off. They don't need this white knighting and they're not being exploited like some Russian prostitutes whose pimps are holding their passports hostage or anything.Look, the reality is this line of work isn't going to help your last 30's/early 40's.

Yes i'm sure that there were 7 girls among 210 people on electronics faculty i were in my university because other girls passionate about electronics were being scared of party culture in the industry.
And 80-90% of girls in my high school having serious troubles with mathematics was obviously just a result of sexism and not choices of what they like learning.
im not saying legal = ok, at all
im saying the topic at hand is how apparently "disgusting" it is that Mojan hired these girls and suddenly the OP goes into a completely misguided (hur) tanget about the concept of women in society and apparently him deciding what job they should have and what job they shouldnt
porque esa promesa? :s
Ohhhhh that makes sense, seemed like a strange thing for them to do!No, they were attractive women hired as hostesses to serve and socialize with the guests. Sort of like how a popular nightclub has attractive servers and bartenders. Apparently a few people feel it was sexist and have now started to spam twitter.
Unlike the IGDA which represent an advocacy group and collect dues, this was a private party by a studio.
I don't think you realize how sexist you are being right now with this attitude.
im hardly a white knight,and a i know really well how this world runs,i still find a bit stupid that mojang did this,on the actual climate on the development comunity,and all the talk about women on this medium you got and pay scorts on you party? i know he is european (the whole thing is different there) but its still stupid
First of all bad analogy because everyone of course handles stuff differently with family members.
Second there is a difference between strippers to prostitutes and then to women who go to parties to break the ice and get paid for it.
Third I have a female friend who does the latter, no problem with it, she is happy with it so what?
It is quick money earned, she can use it pretty well for studying.
Advice for the 'misguided' dude, who says they don't have another job or study and use rhe money for it?

Welp, here goes:
This way of making money is not intellectually stimulating for a person. These women could be getting a degree/making a real career out of their lives; instead they have given in to society's vision of them in order to pay the bills. It makes that person come off as slutty and stupid, and that something as artificial as money can pay for her attention. It perpetuates stereotypes about an entire gender of people that have historically been mistreated by men. It makes women who aren't there to make money feel uncomfortable, and creates a hostile environment towards women in the games/tech industry. I'm against the notion of people being paid for their sexual attractiveness, yes.

Damn I would've love to be at that party.

people whose job is to get paid for sex and are totally fine with it are a minority
so selling your body is just "quick money earned", i think that's a really fucked up way of thinking
Wait what?I don't think the whining is out of white knighting for the women being paid to be there. I'm sure they had a good time and love that work.
I think it's more about industry women attending these parties, and how it feels for them when as a minority, they see other women hired in as decorative baubles to provide eye candy for the men.
I think people are a bit more sensitive about this stuff now given the debates going on about it.
The problem in this thread is that people who don't move in those circles think its some outlandish nefarious practice, and being a gaming forum it tends to attract people who don't see this kind of thing often if at all.Holy shit, all you people up in arms. Look at the fucking party. It's no different than any other nightclub or dance party. This isn't an advocacy group that collects member dues. This was a private party thrown by Mojang. No different than in any other industry, ie. Music, Film etc.
Have you folks never been to a large dance party before? It's even more hectic than I thought. Of course they are going to hire attractive bartenders, servers and hostesses to socialize. No different than if you went to a club downtown.
what?
it's a private party by a company. It's people hiring women who do this thing for a living, and paying them, for what they do and know how to do
they are working, the women are getting paid for what they decided to do and the people at the party are getting the other end of the service, as it happens in any other context
why is it suddenly just wrong in videogames?

OP is presumably a male who wants to tell women how to run their lives in the name of equality.Is this thread going to discuss about what should society be like? This is going deep.
Also, every larger parties have high chances of this stuff happening, not just this industry.
Have you asked those women what they want to do? Maybe they actually like doing stuff like this to make a few extra bucks.A woman's life shouldn't have to be about "getting by", it should be about having a DECENT good-paying and satisfying job. Most if not all of the men at that party have jobs like that. I am helping to spread awareness of this mistreatment of a gender by a company of developers that a lot of people hold dear; surely I'm not a white knight, I'm just saying.

How does it being "the norm" make it okay? Are you people not fucking human beings?
