The Australian & NZ dev communities are small, lovely, and protective of each other. In the short time I've been part of it, I've quietly heard plenty about what Jennifer has done - and personally watched her drive one talented young man out of the industry entirely.

The difficulty then, as now, is that Jennifer positioned herself publicly as not only a figure of influence but also a marginalized voice who is - by all appearances - on the side of woman in games. Challenging that, especially as a guy, was unthinkable. Yet... here we are.
The fact that Jennifer weaponized her own victimhood could end up damaging the position of every other female and minority dev who are all already trying so goddamn hard... it's disgusting. I demand the @IGDA take note and take action.
@IGDA Big props to @NinNons for speaking up, even when it has so much potential to damage her. All I can do is throw my voice behind hers and say that, yes, there is so much evidence for this it's beyond question... and equally outrageous that @IGDA did nothing about the complaints.
