Massive Ubisoft Report Details "Frat-House" Culture Of Sexism And Abuse

Kind of surprised at the general "meh"-to-hostile reaction to this. Humanity has a history of mistreating each other. Guarantee you all of us have done it and will repeat it, but hopefully it's minimal and unintended bias on most of our parts, no matter our DNA. To call a man an animal because of his skin? To take away a woman's sense of professionalism? Not acceptable. You be the person who has these things done to you and see how you feel.

Maybe it's that you don't want to read about it here on a gaming site. Fine - skip the article. I'll stand up right now and say it's good to keep the dialog going; without these types of highlights there is no progress. Go read up on Wizards of the Coast, their lip service, and the recent events and fallout for proof.

All of you reading this have the potential to be good people. So do that. Respect each other. Be better.

We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are. If you can't deal with women or have racist issues go the hell into business for yourself. If you can co-exist peacefully and be happy with it, even learn something from it, grab a seat at the table and build something better or stronger.

Seriously, there's no place or excuse for treating people like crap unless they earned it. Screw the "woke", it's about respect and dignity, how we're brought up and what we're taught. Do better.

Some years ago, I would've said that it kind of sounds like today's young folks (late 20's and under) are so soft that they can't be told "no" in any fashion by any executive or boss. But knowing how many people are assholes when under duress -- perhaps most especially bosses -- now I'm not sure if that theory holds up.

I can't blame anybody if they feel "harassed." I was a boorish supervisor myself, "bullying" subordinates around when I felt like they needed a taste of their own medicine (tbf, they took me for granted, rather than bully me outright).

lol this sounds like an 80's sci fi movie, and it is , we're 2020 yet it sounds like it happened in the 1950's. Infidelitey? really? what does that have to do with the workplace, and this in europe, paris, As a european myself I find that very hard to believe (not that i approve of cheating, I just never heard somebody had to step down for that, well at least not in the last 50-60 years or so)

Stuff like this report is necessary because the industry needs an overhaul. I can't count the stories I've heard of sexism for m friends working in the industry. And they continue to do it because no one holds them accountable. It's happened with the movie industry, it's going to happen with gaming. People will make light of the issue, but any woman who wants to work in the industry has to put up with this BS.

Ubi Toronto was colloquially known to be a safe place for "bros", amongst the aspiring employee applicants I know. Toronto is home to several national game dev schools, which brush shoulders with the Ubi Toronto; my sister attended one such school, and I did volunteer focus testing at Ubi Toronto (and thus met other students or relatives of students). Some of them say as much.

If they can get away with releasing their crap games, they surely can get away with anything. 🤔

Are they hiring?

Woke capital. When China takes over, they will laugh at things like this.

I'll never look at a Rabbid the same way ever again.

Funny how the comments are open on this one, I wonder if GS thought this would be a golden opportunity for users to one sided-ly throw Ubi under a bus.

Aside from the horrific anecdotes, I'm not sure I buy sexism "seeping" into the games. If it does, it ain't just theirs.

This is Dumb AF, who cares? This SJW nonsense has to stop, just because our stupid millennials, believe in destroying American culture, and everything we've built in the last 250 years, doesn't mean other countries should be held accountable for the moronic views of social justice in the US.

Are they going to try and cancel French culture now too?

@xpert718: they just need to put a good game with it, but I'm not touching anything that feminist frequency dishonest channel endorses. Or at least not paying full price for it.

@xpert718: "It just needs to be done well."

Yes, as it needs be done with any protagonist.

@xpert718: Yeah but usually publisher teams are extremely conservative in term of revenues. They're basically afraid of any changes that could maybe potentially or not at all impact sales or backlash...

Excellent, bring it all out! Too long have these ghouls haunted our world! And I'm talking about all of them, from the UbiSoft frat boys, to the creepers hanging with Epstein on Pedo island.

Woop Woop, Juggaloooos!

toxic this,,frathouse that,,,i don't care anymore! not even a little..

Cancel Culture and virgin dweebs like Jason Shrier

constantly calling out other people for being human &

knowing dangWell he himself has skeletons in his closet.

This behavior is ugly..

*i'll never foret Jason Shr on YongYeah talking about toxic masculenity this/that

& all i could think of is what kind of person actually believes this nonsense...

I don't tend to buy games with a female protagonist because I really can't identify myself from a female perspective. Having said that, I played Odyssey as Kassandra and really enjoyed it. She was much better than Alexios. Also, the voice actor for FemShep was much better.
