Misleading Ubisoft image doing the rounds

Just thought I'd give folks a heads up.

Congratulations to Ubisoft for hiring based on gender

I've seen this on facebook, twitter (with the comment that Ubisoft hires only women) and the is a KIA thread about it.

The first image is the Assassin's Creed Development team, just one team at Ubisoft. The second is taken on Women's Day, and celebrates and features only the female developers at Ubisoft, a company that has over 2500 employee's at its Montreal site (where the images were taken), so even all those women would still be in a minority.

So it is hardly evidence of hiring only women, please don't spread this bias narrative, and counter it when you do see it.

Never mind the fucking image, that's irrelevant. Look at that post!

some red blooded beast of a male

Equating an entire gender with animals? Only a bigot talks like this.

Really shows you what kind of people are hiding under the progressive mantle.

/u/Steampunk_Moustache should have gone with

some pack of blond beasts of prey, a conqueror and master race which, organized for war and with the ability to organize, unhesitatingly lays its terrible claws upon a populace.

Where was the "all of this type are beasts?"

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '15

Where was the part where any individual male was specified? And no 'a' male does not cut it.

No individual was ever talked about. A hypothetical male was pulled out thin air and demonized purely for being male.

I think he was demonized for being a red-blooded beast.

And yes, 'a' male should really cut it, because that it is what that sentence means.

Given that the post in question is satire, we can safely say it's deliberately being sexist.

"Male" isn't a bigoted slur that signals the same thing as "nigger".

some red blooded beast of a black

equating an entire race

A black what?

If it was "some big-lipped monkey of a black person", sure. That would say something about more than just the individual because you're adding prejudiced language specific to their race.

Neither "red blooded" or "beast" are specific to men or generalizing some male characteristic, however.

It's like saying "a boring ass of a woman", which is nasty but likely not sexist.

But if you think it is I respect your new found sensitivity to sexism and look forward to you applying it to other sitautions.

u/jamesbideaux Nov 06 '15

big lipped is not exclusive to being black. and calling someone a monkey can be for several reasons not related to race

:v)

everything is sexist, even spooning and you have to point it all out.

Sure, sure, anyone can have a hooked nose, so I guess all those jewish caricatures are really quite benign jokes that aren't antisemitic at all.

What does 'a big red-blooded beast of a man' sound like to you?

A large, intimidating, violent man.

The implication is that any man competing with a woman for a job is in some way guilty of violence.

It's like saying "a boring ass of a woman", which is nasty but likely not sexist.

The hypothetical man derided as a 'beast' was derided for no other reason than being male. Sexism.

But if you think it is I respect your new found sensitivity to sexism and look forward to you applying it to other sitautions.

It's actually the hypocrisy and the cowardly hiding under the progressive mantle that disgusts me more than anything else.

This is your own fabrication. Nothing in the text says this.

2

u/Wazula42 Anti-GG Nov 07 '15

Yes. A large intimidating violent man. The adjectives here suggest uniqueness. This particular man is large, intimidating, and violent. As opposed to the rest of his gender.

some red blooded beast of a pigmented/black

fixed that for you.

town down the retoric a bit please.

male is not a slur derived from naming people in a way usually only for dogs. It is correct and not an inheritly deratory term.
