A games developer’s career is under threat today after he ‘virtually teabagged’ a female journalist during a demonstration of a video game.


Oh dear.....

I have been both team-killed and 'tea bagged' in online fps games.... Sometimes at the same time

#METOO?

The virtual teabag scandal was highlighted by Mike Futter, a games journalist, who tweeted: ‘Friendly tip for devs showcasing games: don’t intentionally team-kill a journalist and then teabag them… especially if she’s a woman.’

So we are now admitting there is inherent differences between men and women that require qualitively different treatment for women? Or is (virtual) sexual assault on men less serious? I didn't think we were allowed to differentiate between different 'types' of sexual assault these days (maybe unless it's based on the gender of the 'victim')..... Or is Mike Futter actual a sexist peddling the soft 'ism' of low expectations?

And 'shocking in game rampage' presumably in an Fps or at least weapon wielding game..... really metro.... Really?

Note: I would agree with the proposition that 'team killing' and 'tea bagging' a journalist may not be the most professional behaviour for a dev regardless of the gender of the journalist context depending and it may not be the best way to promote a product as a dev.... Again context depending..... Perversely not all 'bad press' is bad for a product.... For example I only heard about kingdom come deliverance because of the fuss over its ethnic makeup.

People need to get out into the country and fresh air more and not be so easily determined by silly labels or childish events like this.
 
How utterly ridiculous.

If I was demoing a game and a dev TKed me and teabagged me, I’d laugh my arse off.
 
Twitter nonsense being used by a worthless 'news outlet' to get clicks from people triggered by political correctness GONE MAD
 
The journalist who suffered this simulated sex act appears to be Amanda Farough, a self-professed feminist who once worked for Mic.

She tweeted: ‘I said out loud, in my headset, “And this is why I hate playing these kinds of games. Thanks for the demo.’

‘Now, granted he thought I was his “dev buddy” by accident, but holy **** was that a mistake,’ she added.

‘No PR around. Just dudes showing me a game and rolling the dice on being rude.’

So he thought it was his mate and she still wants to kick up a fuss :/
