I can't blame them for trying. I blame the studios that actually contract them.

I have no clue how even a single game company falls for this shit, if their "findings" were actually relevant in any way they wouldn't try to sell themselves as hard as they are doing.

When I go to a hairdresser I don't have to sit down and listen to them waffle on about how important their jobs are, I just look at myself in the mirror, remember how hard it was to cut my own hair the last time I tried and then I make an appointment with them. IMO, if you need to tell customers why they need your product/service then its a shit product/service.

Anecdotal evidence here, but: from what little interaction I've had with romantasy books, with women as the target audience, it's still mostly men doing the talking. I think not even women enjoy women speaking too much, unless it's themselves doing it.

It's been about equity and not equality for years. It's not enough for things to be equal, everyone not a white/asian male needs to be boosted above white/asian men to even things out. That's how things have gotten the way they are, it was never about equality, it was about attempting to reverse the power structures and now it's just flat out anti male in a lot of cases.

She gave the gaming industry a complete ass blasting with feminist critique mostly due to the fact that by then it had been made up entirely by men.

As someone spends 50% of my time making PowerPoint presentations for work...These slides hurt my soul.

>"Lightning Returns" is touching the edge of the slide
>No credit or mentions of the data source anywhere
>Bar graph shows an increase in female word count with no notes or key takeaway on the how they moved the number
>But the bullet points are way too wordy anyway
>Severe lack in examples of the gender biases that they are claiming are the root cause
>Slides lack any branding of the consultant company making it even more unprofessional

I also don't like the light blue and peachy colors they picked but that could be a personal preference. And I'd have used an asterisk on the FF bar graph to indicate which FF games had female leads which could provide an explanation as to why the dialogue may be disproportionate. If anything, that would also help better support their mission by taking the conversation beyond just "women have fewer word counts in games" to under representation in general - or something.

Gotta make it clear of what the problem statement is. What you've done and re offering to address it and fix it. And share the success story to get people bought into your service.

Hope you enjoyed my PowerPoint autism.

It works quite well when there's enough meat on the bones, beyond simple outrage. And not just a powerpoint at GDC or somesuch. Journos have never been as irrelevant, and yet /v/ will still hype up Dorito Pope's advert show for months. E-celebs are often isolated islands, and yet I have the displeasure of finding out about their retarded drama on here. Cyberbullying isn't real just like cyber-histrionics, so walk away from the screen nigga.
It's useful to notice and proclaim things, but not ""discuss"" them on the wider web, because that's the attention marketers desperately crave. If you wanna bring up GG, then recall the pivot that happened when Anita started to make it all about herself / her movement. And suddenly everybody's feeding the troll, engaging with nonsense drama on the terms of the allegedly aggrieved party.
Post excerpts from Ubisoft's reports, or quotes from directionbrained devs, but do not engage yourself. Good old "1 post by this ID" tactic, idiots and children will always bite the bait.

Upper management doesn't give a shit about creative freedom, as long as profits are flowing and the shareholders are happy. Problem is they wants DEI, Blackrock demands it. So to appease em these firms are hired and have their ideas forced onto directors and developers. A company going public means the elitist of the elite now can demand anything from your company even if it'll sink the company. After all failing to appease shareholders is an actual crime in America.

I have to sit through a lot of PPTs and this is honestly not that bad, even if your advice is solid. I'd half expect a scatterplot graph with an interpolated line for slide 1, two pie charts left-and-right with the game covers top-and-bottom for slide 2, slide 3 broken up into 6 seperate slides, and finally just a bunch of profile shots of the authors as the last slide with no contact info at all. If you were really clever, a meaningless statistical factoid that makes no sense, like +/-SD across all the FF titles.

>>726733009
They say it happened in real life, it has all the hallmarks of a hysteric mass witchhunt

Most notably because you can't just fucking gas random people to sleep, an anesthesiologist is someone who goes to school for ages and then works very hard using a honed time and dosing schedule to keep a person covered in monitors in that very thin zone between "conscious" and "dead"

The women might as well have reported that each of them got hit in the head with a big mallet and they were unconscious for eight hours and then they woke up with a lump and a little yellow bird flying around it
