I don't understand what your first sentence is trying to say.

Outside that.  You don't seem to know what sexism is or why this is sexist... which probably goes a long way towards your ignorance here.

Once again... it's sexist because it's exclusionary.

It's not that it's sexist towards the dancers.  It's that it's sexist towards the female employees of GDC.

"Put up with women we paid to perform being objectified or lose out on an important networking oppurtunity."

That IS discrimination.

A few memebers mentioned gay male dancers... and yeah if gay guys were dancing shirtless and making out.... the majority internet community would lose their collective shit over it... and most developers would be bitching about it because it made them feel uncomforable during an imporatant networking event.

 

The reason you drifted away from your original point was because it didnt have any merit to begin with.

I already know why you think it is sexist. There is no proof of exclusion. You are making this up.

The reason why I drifted away from my original point was because of race discussion.

OK now. Proof please. Prove it that the female dancers were not just dancing at the GDC. Because all I have seen about it is people complaining about their clothes. Nothing else.

"Put up with women we paid to perform being objectified or lose out on an important networking oppurtunity."

lolwhat. You seriously think that is what was going through the people's mind when they organised the particular event?

So in otherwords... you didn't read the post i linked to where they specifically said those women who were dancing at GDC were paid by the staging company and brought there without company approval like was written in their contract.   No wonder you didn't believe the IGDC was actually sorry about the party and thought it was wrong... you didn't actually bother to look at the evidence.

They were paid to be there, they were paid to dress like that, and they were paid to dance on the bar.

The proof had already been provided.

 

As for the last part...  you are again missing the point spectacularly.  It doesn't matter what was in their mind when they organized it.  That's the message they sent.

Generally racist people don't mean to be racist.  They actually believe all that ignorant shit they say.
