Jade Raymond wants to be left alone.

[Lantyssa]

Link to that video, please. Bonus points if the devs on either side of her are wearing suits while she isn't.

It was an early game conference interview.  Just photos as I recall.  I had no luck finding it, partially because it was so long ago I don't remember which conference it was.

I remember it though because it was so early in development there was practically info released.  There were two women promoting it, both in too tight/skimpy outfits to have what one would normally think of as the devs running the shop.  I thought it was a war game of some kind, as the booth was draped in netting and Jade looked like she was doing a sexy veteran cosplay.  I was upset because they were selling the women but weren't giving me any actual game info.  (That's what ticked me off, as I want to know if a game is worth following or not.)  Then later I found out one was the Producer and the look of the booth had no relation to the setting of the game.  It gave me a huge "wtf?" moment.

Maybe it was a part of a larger Ubi display for one of their war games and they changed the sign for the Assassin's Creed interview.  That would at least make some sense after the fact.

mostly flawless.  wikipedia vandalism makes it wonky sometime

If Wikipedia is wrong, it is reality that needs to change. 

[Samwise]

I just want to know why Lantyssa hates women so much.

[Roac]

Remember ladies, you are only allowed to be successful OR attractive.  Know your place.

[Azazel]

I think it's more about Jade being pimped out by Ubi because she is attractive.

[Xerapis]

And don't forget, it's always okay to say "pimped" UNLESS you're referring to Chelsea.

[rk47]

they can still capitalize by rendering her in a 3rd person action shooter for even more reason for her to go for interviews. Down with Lara Croft, Long Live Jade Raymond!

'Jade this must be something new for you, from game producer to the game main star attraction itself!'

[Lantyssa]

I think it's more about Jade being pimped out by Ubi because she is attractive.

This.

And letting herself do so then complaining about her image.

[Signe]

Fuck Jade.  If she leaves me alone, I'll leave her alone. 

[Roac]

I think it's more about Jade being pimped out by Ubi because she is attractive.

She's promoting her company's product, something people in this or similar roles routinely do.  The only difference is in being both attractive and female.

Yeah, its not like they put her before the team or anything. Making her stand out.

Everyone
Does
That

That's what marketing is.

[Phildo]

I wish Jade would leave me alone, too.  She won't go away, no matter how many times I tell her that I don't date game designers.

[Lantyssa]

And in a revealing outfit.  When's the last time we saw Raph or Lum do that?

[Big Gulp]

And in a revealing outfit.  When's the last time we saw Raph or Lum do that?

Mmmmm.   Don't push those enticing images at me like that.

[Samwise]

[Roac]

Probably the last time we saw them wearing casual women's fashion.  Also, that's hardly revealing.

[Merusk]

In my mind I keep replacing references to women with in-kind references to African-Americans and "revealing outfits" with "Uncle Tom Getup."  It makes the whole conversation even more bizarre.

Really.

[Samwise]

You think you have it bad.  I keeping replacing "women" with "fat guys", "Jade Raymond" with "Gabe Newell", and "revealing outfits" with "revealing outfits".

[Special J]

Remember ladies, you are only allowed to be successful OR attractive.  Know your place.

Well that won't work either, then you'll be ridiculed for being a pig.  Burkhas might be the only way for women maintain credibility in this industry.

[Lantyssa]

What she was wearing in the interview I am refering to was hardly casual women's fashion.  (Really wish I could find it.)

[MrHat]

Was it sexy? I bet it was sexy.

Tell us more.



I bet she licks her lips in interviews too.

[Ratman_tf]

Remind me to shoop this when I get home.

[Jeff Kelly]

It's funny how she's victimized for being somewhat pretty and showing it.

Instead of you know, blaming the pathetic horny motherfuckers who fall for something like that. I especially like how people here actually believe that she had it coming, that the pathetic disgusting little comic is somehow justified because she "is pimping herself out".

The truth is that no one of you should care even if she'd go naked.

Some of you here employ the same line of reasoning that blames women for being raped because of the way they dressed themselves.

[Mrbloodworth]

She's got her own juvy Industry record to prove it! She's a criminal Designer. And criminals Designers are hot! Now it'd be a real shame if he she rots in jail The office for the rest of his Her natural life. It is time to talk interview!

[Signe]

She's naked somewhere?   

[LK]

In the minds of every man reporting on her activities.

[Samwise]

f the way they dressed themselves.

It's funny how you equate being made fun of on an amateur cartoonist's DeviantArt page to being raped.

John Romero must have trouble sitting down.

[Ratman_tf]

We here know of male devs (notably MMOG devs) who've had much worse done to them. I remember the disgruntled from Lum's message boards would make fun of his weight. And I don't want to think about the shit slung against smedley.

So this chick can't take a pale shadow of the nonsensical nerd rage that permeates the web? Should we find her a nice crib and bottle while the Manfolk make games out of logs and steel?

The 'pale shadow' was a highly sexualised view of her role in AC. I'll make a comment about your second point there as soon as I understand wtf you're are on about.

Very few insults levelled at male game designers are sexual in nature. The "LOL your fat" comments or insulting someone's intelligence is one thing, but I haven't seen any "Lum is only getting an interview because he's got a sweet ass" comments in my travels. Yeah, there have probably been a few "you r ghey" comments, but tend to be pretty weak sauce. God help any truly homosexual MMO designer who got outed - it'd be open season.

It stabs at the heart of women only being there to look good / be sex dolls while men do all the real work. It's not a healthy attitude to have, especially as the game industry keeps reaching towards the mainstream population.

Also, it's not a 'pale shadow' when it can dog you for the rest of your career in the game industry or even if someone just happens to Google your name for some reason.

[Samwise]

So it's okay to insult people as much as you like but only if sex is in no way involved?

Any there any other taboo subjects the internet should be made aware of?

[schild]

Why would you hurl sexual insults at fat, slovenly, overworked wrecks of human beings when there's so many other targets painted on their back?

Here, let's try this:

CliffyB has nice hair.

Was that good?

Maybe if gamers everywhere were cynical, maladjusted, evil little girls then male game designers would get insulted.

Edit: No offense to game designers meant in the first paragraph, just making a point.

Insulting someone's kids / family is also a no-no.

[schild]

Your mom is a no-no.

[Samwise]

THIS IS WHY THERE ARE SO FEW PEOPLE WITH MOTHERS IN THE GAME INDUSTRY.

You bastard.
