>>5958868>>5958890>>5959057>>5959064Thank you very much for this episode recommendation, I hunted it down and watched it all yay there are even some TACTICAL OPERATORS finally yay.
This episode highlights a disturbing reversal, in that American law and justice is portrayed as the ruthless and exclusive enforcers of an aggrieved wealthy venture capitalist class who believe they are being persecuted by their own consumer audience of users, who are attired like Islamic State terrorists. For example from the script:
(...)
These guys want Raina Punjabi out of the gaming world.
Just because she's a woman?
There's a lot of haters out there that think she slept her way into the business.
Oh, right, right, she's engaged to that venture capitalist, Steven Kaplan.
Okay, so because her fiancé has money, that means she has no talent?
To them, and they want to take her down no matter what.
(...)
In reality, the perpetrators of sexual deviance, oppression and sexual violence are in fact the venture capitalists themselves (for instance, see this article from 2018)
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/01/brotopia-silicon-valley-secretive-orgiastic-inner-sanctum>Some of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley are regulars at exclusive, drug-fueled, sex-laced parties—gatherings they describe not as scandalous, or even secret, but as a bold, unconventional lifestyle choice. Yet, while the guys get laid, the women get screwed...(...)>Ava was working as an executive assistant at Google when she ran into her married boss at a bondage club in San Francisco. He was getting a blow job from a woman strapped to a spanking bench who was being entered by another man from behind. Ava and her boss, an engineer, locked eyes but didn’t exchange a word (...)So it is a bit awkward. I was also trying to discern what videogame they were using for the first person shooter graphics and the rival female developer Civilisation 4x game (which actually used 3rd person type rpg graphics??) it was a bit difficult to tell from the brief visual interludes.
Nonetheless thank you very much for this episode recommendation I really enjoyed it very much
