Just wanna make sure you know that it's the ENTIRE games industry: There's a room in the Nintendo call center that upper management/red badges jokingly refer to as "The Rape Room".
When I informed both staffing agencies about this (Parker and Aerotek), it was waved away. I began keeping a written record of every time fuckshit like this happened and was scolded by a Nintendo FTE for "writing in my little notebook" when I should be working.
I started at Nintendo right as Goober Gate was picking up and the amount of times I overheard contractors and FTEs alike refer to women who worked there as "bitches", "cunts", and "SJWs" was.....a lot.
Also! When I DID bring this up to the staffing agencies, they didn't take a single note the time we met. The entire vibe was "Why do you hate fun :((((" or "I've never heard of this, you must be making it up!"
Oh and P.S. If you worked there, with me or not, pls do not take this time to tell me how much you liked it there or how you never heard of this. Lots of people have, lots of people haven't. I liked some days there, but most of them were hell and I KNOW I wasn't alone there.
Wanna know the wild thing about That Room? Everyone I know, including myself, who has heard someone call it that? A woman (contractor), told by a man (FTE), when the two of them were alone. Almost as if some sort of signal is being sent! Hm!!!
