There were vocal devs. They went and formed Activision because they said "fuck making games and not getting credit". You see shit like this today due to real and imagined hostility over the internet, which has allowed people to be total assholes under a protective cloak of anonymity while allowing some individuals to stand on the virtual soap box and gain attention by virtue of the amount of free time they have to make videos and play victim over social media.

If you're talking about just purely vocal devs, it's because the internet was less relevant, and social media practically non-existent. Those two things give people who want to piss and moan about anything a soapbox to stand on.

There are plenty of transgender video game devs even from the 80s. It's no surprise considering the job is about creating and living in fantasy worlds. The main difference is back then, it wasn't enough to ONLY be sexually aberrant you needed to actually produce games that were decent on their own merits.

If even just ten years ago you'd told me that gold medal decathlete Bruce Jenner would have a sex change and be on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine I'd have laughed.

Political ethos like the SJW movement work by attaching themselves to something with a lot of social capital, taking over, and using that social capital to further their political interests.
They got into gaming, comics, etc. now because now those areas have enough cultural influence to make invading them a valuable political move. In the 80s and 90s video games solely influenced diehards and children, so they had no real social capital.

Source or you're full of shit.

Brianna Wu is a shitty person, but that doesn't mean she isn't a she.
Respecting a trans person's gender identity should be unconditional, it shouldn't be a reward for good behavior.

>> No.3719341

>>3719152
Also they didn't use their trans status for attention. The political climate was such that if you were a tranny, you kept that shit to yourself. Women who could successfully transition and pass perfectly as female in western society, sheltered their secret like their life depended on it (because it usually did).

I mean fuck, I still remember when I was a young trans teenager and there were no support groups for that. There was no LGBT when I was in high school, it was GLB.

Respect is earned. Wu is a crook, lazy, inept, a liar, and defended the likely-offended pedophile "Sarah Nyberg" because he's also a tranny.

Now, Lady Chablis, she's a woman. A respectable, entertaining, hilarious woman. With a dick. People like her are what I respect, people like Wu pretend to be trans for attention, which causes LGBTs like me problems.

Twitter and Social media didn't exist, and no one really gave a single shit about who worked on games

Though, if we're talking about developers that are trans, Burger Becky is pretty based, and doesn't really yell about SJW shit all the time.

mostly because there were only a handful of developers who were famous enough, and there wasn't social media giving a platform for other things.
