I seem to recall Ubisoft working with a number Sarkeesian-type consultants in the years following gamergate. Seems like a case of the guiltiest being the first to accuse if I remembered that right, but I don't recall where I got the idea. Does anyone here know where I might have got that impression?

I assume any “woke” movement from a corporation is either to 1) avoid legal liability 2) capture some market via signaling.

I would guess that genuine efforts are few and far between.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes no problems it's all out there. 19% of women report sexual violence to police. (1) 10% of those reports result in a conviction. (2) So actually I was being conservative, it's actually 98%+ get away with it based on these two sources. And we haven't even got to child sexual assault conviction rates.

> 98%+ get away with it based on these two sources. Your first stats are 15 year old and are only applicable to Canada. You can't make broad generalizations like that. Different countries have different culture and very different legal systems.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure who you were replying with as the cited data was not from Canada and was not 15 years old.

If you have a more nuanced reply with better data sources please do so.
