And fellas, feel free to deploy any of these when we hear creepiness directed at someone else.
I firmly believe that half of where we are with people saying quiet parts out loud is because people were met with awkward silence instead of polite but firm accountability and felt emboldened.

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot.
Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

as someone who did name and shame alongside multiple women, it was BRUTAL - while I don’t and frankly can’t regret it I would not recommend it to anyone. There’s an entire system of right wing misogyny that goes after you whilst even the most well-meaning male colleagues send you support in the DMs
"name and shame them" so yeah the number of times I've seen multiple women come together with binders of evidence about a single man and essentially nothing happened to him kiiiinda discourages that approach

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.

Played the demo and immediately backed it!
The setting and premise are all top tier but the gameplay also brings an innovation to "arguments" that reminds me of the best moments of Ace Attorney.

I played a bit of this demo today - it's really cool but one thing I love is how it uses the language of deckbuilders/card games to complement its narrative beats. A few games tried to do this, often they tried to be more systems-heavy (like Griftlands) but this is more narratively elegant.

Yeah I v much agree with this — and also that here on social media someone may be following you for one thing, and predisposed to listen bc they agreed with you or liked a thing you made, and are therefore more open to your other opinions and arguments, esp if you’re not a condescending prick
agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.
