This guy sent me hate on Facebook so I told his mom on him. She was really nice about it.

I wasn't going to say anything because I'm afraid but fuck it. It took me years to recover from the abuse I endured at IGN. I've posted about just one incident but working under Steve Butts and Tal Blevins was an unparalleled experience in being bullied and belittled.

One thing that really bothers me about the Boyfriend Dungeon discourse is the criticism that players "didn't consent to" content in the game, and the way that language is being applied here.

When I got the offer from GameSpot, I asked Steve if I had any hope of being on editorial after all the work I'd done. He said I would *never* become an editor at IGN. And now I'm the reviews editor at GameSpot.

Encountering something you don't like or even something triggering in media is not a violation of "consent." It's a frankly gross bastardization of language to act as if that's the case.

It probably goes without saying but the Cyberpunk 2077 situation is such a bummer. It's not my job to defend a company (nor would I) but I really feel for the individuals who worked unbelievably hard and certainly never wanted this outcome. It just sucks!

I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone who has been standing up for me and other people who have been harassed. Know that it is very much appreciated. We often can't do this ourselves for fear of retribution so to see it on a huge scale means so much.

I had a lot of panic attacks in the years after I quit, and a lot more issues believing that I was worthy of my job and that my colleagues actually liked me. It's a lot better now. But fuck him and fuck Tal and also fuck that one Reaction Guy you all love so much.

If we're going to look at consuming media through this lens of "consent," then... you consented when you started playing and you can revoke that consent at any time by turning it off?? Why would you act as if you've been violated here? It's gross!

Tal was my boss for a while and was horrible to me. He'd yell at me for being away from my desk for any reason. One day I broke down crying at my desk because I could never take a lunch break and Sam (who is lovely) told me I could get lunch and it would be okay.

I came back after half an hour to THREE emails from Tal demanding to know where I was and why I'd left my desk. At lunchtime. My friends had to start getting me lunch because I couldn't leave.

I'm glad the content warning is being updated, but also, you couldn't possibly cover every bit of potentially triggering content. It would be an infinite list. Get some friends who warn you about your triggers in stuff ahead of time and stop talking about this like it's abuse

Steve regularly humiliated people like me and Chloi and Eric in front of others. He'd try to make me gather everyone for the morning standup because he knew it made me anxious. He'd swear at me when something was wrong.

When I reported my harasser to HR, Steve threatened me. He told me just wanted it to all be over and that I should just talk it out with him. He would bring me into rooms to intimidate me.

Steve told me that if I really wanted to be an editor one day, I'd have to do a lot more editorial work to prove myself. I worked constantly, doing editorial work at home and my promotions job during the day.

I continued to do editorial work. I did an editor's worth of reviews in 2016. I did Anime Club. I worked and worked and worked and Steve continued to taunt and bully and yell at me... and then offer hugs and apologies later, of course.

The point of reviews is not to be "correct" or to fit with some consensus; the point of reviews is to give an honest opinion and to back up that opinion with your words. It doesn't matter if you're an outlier if you can back up your arguments.

In this usage, "consent" usually refers to boundaries around acts of physical or emotional intimacy, the violation of which is frequently assault, harassment, or abuse. It's serious and it means something specific.

This has been said before, but you can't "accidentally" say a slur. If you're distracted or drunk or whatever and a slur is the first thing out of your mouth, that means it's actively in your vocabulary.
