>Three out of four people working in the gaming industry are men. Almost the same proportion identifies as white. And those numbers have hardly budged since 2015, according to surveys conducted by the nonprofit International Game Developers Association.
>“If you’re a young person of color playing games, you don’t really see yourself represented,” said Mitu Khandaker, a professor at New York University’s game center. “That kind of instills in you this sense that maybe I don’t really belong.”
>That lack of diversity in mainstream gaming — games made by the handful of large development companies — can be cyclical, turning people away from the industry, said Dr. Khandaker, who is also the chief executive of Glow Up Games, a research and development studio focused on diversity.
>Women, for example, are rarely promoted to senior positions or made the heads of studios. Many gamers say toxic harassment online is still an everyday fear.
Damn, how do we fix gaming and make it less white & male?
99% of all workers in construction, trash collection, and ocean oil drilling are men. We need to get more women into these fields and end the rampant sexism in these industries.
Jordan Peterson
This We need to get more women in prison as well, prisons are too male

>Three out of four people working in the gaming industry are men. Has this moron of a """professor""" ever thought that MAYBE that could be due to the fact that, tendentially, women do NOT care about videogames as much as men? Why is this bigot mysoginist trying so hard to force women to like what they don't?
>Almost the same proportion identifies as white. Has this retard of a """professor""" ever thought that MAYBE that could be due the fact that, tendentially, there are more white people than black people in the world? Why is this racist trying so hard to overrepresent black people?
Don't forget homeless people. It's the same 3/4 male as the gamers.

>there are more white people than black people in the world?
This isn't true though. At all. There are more white people in white countries, but not globally.
Oliver Clark
I enjoy the fact that they always ignore a huge chunk of games are Japanese made.
Austin Phillips
We gotta get more men into fashion and design. Dance as well.
Noah Price
You forgot about suicide rates. Males have a monopoly in that as well. Females need to be better represented in that field or else suicide is just patriarchy.

>Almost the same proportion identifies as white
See that's the problem right there, i personally identify as trans-African, and I'm deeply offended when some two bit bigot journalist makes broads assumptions taking into account birth assigned race.
Elijah Jackson
>identifies as white As opposed to identifying as black, Asian or Hispanic? If I were to decide one day I'm actually Japanese, would I actually be Japanese? Why not just say "almost the same proportion is white"?
Ryan King
>muh fear >muh anxiety Who are you trying to fool? Being a minority among whites is like being a wolf among a herd of sheeps, whereas being white among minorities is like being a sheep among a pack of wolves.
Thomas Wilson
>ocean oil drillin Fuck off, we full
Joshua Kelly
its newspeak to include hispanics as white people
Grayson Sullivan
maybe because white/asian males are the ones who also play games and have an interest in them maybe because white/asian males are the only ones who have the intelligence and skill to create video games
Ryan Williams
Oh? Has their rank on the oppression index fallen?
Luke King

LOL
Eli Ortiz
only when black people need to be elevated are they disregarded
Leo Jenkins
Their index was always very low lol. Asians are basically considered white as they are successful ,so it is only niggers as always. Just look at all these diversity shit its always just negroes not indians,arabs or whatever lmao if that doesnt tell you something I dont know what will.
Andrew Jones
Whites make up 10% of the Earths population but have the nicest stuff so we get that white privilege horse shit.
Josiah Reed
White Americans are already a minority so they're making damn well sure they're sowing the seeds to drastically change the narrative if need be.
Jace Watson
>Damn, how do we fix gaming and make it less white & male? Killing americans.
Henry Morgan
>the industry has a lot of white males >this is bad because ????
But men commit way more violent crime, so more of them will be in prison.
However this doesn't apply if you look at Black men, because black men commuting more crime is a vast right wing conspiracy orchestrated at every level of the justice system and in every nation on earth
Luke Morgan
Why does a white majority have to be uprooted wherever it appears? Please just leave us alone, jews
>inb4 pol seething xddd
Jose Gray
Because leftists hate everything that is successful, and whites have the image of being successfull
Camden Edwards
>Three out of four people working in the gaming industry are men. Almost the same proportion identifies as white.
So what about Asian developers in Japan and China? Do they count as white too by this measure? If not, then I find it hard to believe that almost 3/4ths of all people in the gaming industry are white.

is there a law preventing women to open their own studios?
John Morales
Not even a mutt but you are happy about own demise and destruction? Lmao you self hating faggots never suprise me.

That would require effort and significant risk, which as you know are patriarchal constructs.
Bentley Mitchell

haha
Lucas Cox
>Because leftists hate everything that is successful So you're a leftist?
This streetshitter is retarded. I'm the same ethnicity as him and not once have I felt like I don't belong because a videogame doesn't have a streetshitter as the protagonist. These guys have such fragile egos learn to take yourself less seriously ffs
Camden Rodriguez
...what?
Noah Morris
This graphic is fucking horrid. How are you supposed to read any data on this besides "HURR DUUR RED LINE BIG PURPLE LINE SMOL"
Juan Hill
I want to kill all those retarded fuckers so much. Because of such shitters we getting "diversity" shitfest instead of good games that actually fun to play.
