To all those out there in game-dev world: if your company makes you feel kind of uncomfortable because the bro-ey elements are offputtingly dominant, and your leadership makes sexist remarks without consequence...
...the problem isn't you.
...but the problem is also you.
...the problem isn't you.
...but the problem is also you.
Unchecked shitty behaviour isn't your *fault*, but maintaining a culture that supports this shit without question *is* kind of your fault... or more accurately, something you can do something about. If you're in a position of privilege, you *can* help.
"Uh. This is making me uncomfortable."
"Can we not, please?"
"Hmm. I'm not sure that's appropriate."
"This right here seems awfully close to an 'HR issue'."
"I've got a problem with this wording..."
etc.

etc.
You don't have to scream that your CEO is a misogynistic piece of crap, but you can make *them* feel more uncomfortable by ensuring they know their words/actions make *you* uncomfortable.
And if these things *don't* make you uncomfortable... then you're almost certainly part of the problem.
