I could be wrong but in my experience game developers are predominantly male, but not predominantly white. at least not like 90% white or something so stark.― panettone for the painfully alone (mayor jingleberries), Friday, April 3, 2015 1:15 PM (7 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalinkwell i mean for one there's the entire japanese & korean & chinese industries― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, April 3, 2015 1:54 PM (6 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I got big time into Castlevania last year and was searching the music for the original NES game, which was done by a Japanese woman named Kinuyo Yamashita. The game has joke credits ("Screenplay by Vram Stoker") and she was credited as "James Banana". The composer for every 2d Castlevania from "Symphony of the Night" was another Japanese woman, Michiru Yamane. Konami had lots of female composers, and a composer was not simply someone who wrote music that ended up being imported into the game. They had to know how to code, how to create sound effects and music using the same base-level data manipulation that was used to make the rest of the games.

i am curious how so many women composers ended up in the Japanese video games industry at the time, they all started in the mid-late 80s. or maybe it was just Capcom and Konami putting out a call

tbh I think it's just any culture that is or has become male-dominated
I think I had a long ranty bit on this thread or another about how, as a medium becomes more mainstream or interesting or profitable it becomes more colonized by men who consciously push women out. Like these pissbabies try to pretend video games have always been misogynistic shitfests but there are obvious counterexamples they don't want to acknowledge because it was before their hegemony came into play
― mh, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 14:54 (nine years ago) link
Blaming the "mainstream" feels like a way of letting a whole bunch of ppl off the hook, also the core of gamergate isn't CoD fans it's like pissed chronotrigger dudes w anime twitpics.
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 14:59 (nine years ago) link
that's a good that was lost on me before; the fratty guys who play CoD are gonna largely end up with women in stable relationships, but the pissed chronotrigger dudes, who knows
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 15:04 (nine years ago) link
Did those dudes exist when Chrono Trigger came out, though? Maybe they were just as misogynist and shitty, but they didn't have a social platform to pretend their views were the same as the people creating games.
I guess what I mean is that their personal views were irrelevant because there wasn't a community. I guess by "mainstream" I mean "public dialogue" where they could assert their supposed norms.

They absolutely existed in some capacity when CT came out. I probably fit the bill at the time (to an extent, I don't think I could be cruel like these types but bear w/ me). The difference is, I wasn't weaponized. I was just a dumb awkward teen who "didn't understand girls" or whatever. But I was perfectly polite to them on the fanfic website I wrote on & on IRC & etc. because (a) nobody was telling me feminists wanted to take it away, (b) people weren't as easy to internet stalk, (c) there wasn't a constant feedback loop of drama and information like twitter which virtually emulates obsession & trains it into people i think
