It seems like literally all woke game companies now fadce sexual harrasment lawsuits. And since we are in the modern era, I am at a point, where I have no idea what to think.

Are all the game dev managers pervs? (understandable effect of woke culture), or is that just a huge push to gain control from below? (understandable effect of woke culture)

There are two factors at play here:

Wokester culture encourages spurious discrimination allegations and lawsuits, and wokester companies attract wokesters who will do that, and
Wokesters project their discriminatory and malicious behavior onto everybody else, so in addition to all of the bogus and spurious allegations there are also going to be a lot of legitimate ones

The wicked eat their own.

I think there is also one more factor.
Woksters deny human nature. That means, that if they live in the bypolar world, where women are the same, but can do everything beter etc, it is much easier to break some unwritten rule, then it is to break a CLEAR rule in conservative circles, where roles are well defined.

So you mean literally getting sued for sexism because you have more upper body strength than your female colleagues, who were offended?

@NEETzsche
Yes. I heard reliable stories about women mis-hearing jokes, that resulted in HR nightmares.
But again, I don't know. I am trying to wrap my head around the situation. Especially considering, that I cannot take any information about these situations with any certainty.

@LukeAlmighty @NEETzsche the bar is embarassingly low. they arguably swung the pendulum a bit far.
@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty The bar is an accusation is made by someone higher on the progressive stack against someone lower on the progressive stack. That's the bar. There are no other criteria for truth.

I would characterize “mis-heard” jokes as spurious allegations.
