In this episode, Brenda Romero, the Gloria Steinem of the games industry, zeroes in on the key problems facing women gamers and developers: sexism, sexism, and more sexism. Booth babes, chain mail bikinis, and lack of healthy avatar options are all just symptoms of a much broader problem.
Warning: I’ve done my best to censor out the adult language in this episode, but my apologies if any managed to slip through.

So I guess they hire sexist jerks too: Check out this guy on Twitter: Borisof007, he’s apparently a new recruiter for Zynga who uses his personal Twitter account to connect with people/candidates but I scrolled through his page and he also encourages women to be sluts? As he is a ‘proud slut’ himself? He chats with countless ‘cam girls’ and follows porn stars too? Why the hell would I want to work for a company where someone can be so sexist without any barrier between professionalism and personal life?
Jeez. Some people just never grow up to be professionals.
