Player2Player brings you an interview with Sanya Thomas, Internet Relations Manager for Mythic Entertainment. Here's a bit:
It has often been said that MMOGs themselves and the MMOG industry are not all that woman friendly. Have you ever run into problems or issues in games or at work because of your sex?
In general... well, I know that harassment is a problem. "Tweety" used to get a lot of email from people who had just been hounded into a breakdown by nasty, hateful people. As a guide, I saw some things between players that made my hair curl. But speaking for myself - I don't generally have problems, in game or out. In game, I communicate to others very well what I consider acceptable behavior, and these "icky" personality types want someone they can intimidate. They don't want to mess with someone strong. Out of game, I don't believe in lawsuits, I believe in regular workouts at the gym and a solid stomp to the instep of the offending people. This keeps my problems to a minimum. Mythic is actually the most psychologically comfortable place I have *ever* worked, which dispels the MMOG cloud quite a bit =) Granted, Mythic is VERY unusual compared to other developers - the company is over 1/3 women. We're a pretty feisty bunch, too. |
