  • Hiring based on gender and sexuality means you purposefully pick lower skilled workers in order to fill a diversity quota.

    Incorrect. It means that you pick the best candidate, and when they’re equal you don’t just choose the white man like we always have in the past.

    I’m a straight white man. I have no issue with diversity because it makes everyone better.

    Every worker regardless of background has a unique view, and can provide creative solutions without having to be reduced to their genders, sexuality, skin color.

    Sure, that’s true because everyone has a different background. However, a straight white Christian man would likely never think of some of the things a gay Muslim would think of, because they have faced different issues and been taught different things.

    For example, there’s an issue with IQ testing, where the tests were designed for typical western education. However, different cultures can be better or worse at certain questions just by how they’re phrased. Some cultures may think of something geometrically. For example, all math by the ancient Greeks were done with shapes, not numbers. They would solve math problems in totally different and unique ways than a typical modern day western educated person would. They aren’t less smart for it. Their brains were just wired differently because of the way they were educated.

    Not every person thinks the same. Cultures, education, oppression, trauma, pleasures, and everything else effect how you think and you you’ll think of. Diversity in thought allows us to take advantage of this as much as possible.


  • It’s important to have a diverse workforce, especially in entertainment, because people with different backgrounds will have different ideas. Ideas are the lifeblood of how we improve things, and especially creativity. You people who can’t see this are destined to fail. If you think this is evil rather than smart business to ensure you have the greatest strengths through differences of opinion are really blind. All of history has pretty much shown that diversity breeds creativity and growth. Hegemony breeds stagnation.




  • Have you tried it? I played the beta and didn’t care for it, but a few years after release I tried it again, with a different mindset, and enjoyed it. I played it for a few months then. It’s not the best MMO I’ve played, but it’s good enough. If you want a pretty casual MMO in the Elder Scrolls world, it does the job fine enough. I personally don’t think it does enough to push you to socialize (most MMOs now have moved away from this), but it’s a decent single-player theme park with plenty of interesting things to do.
