Because the sort of people I just described can NEVER be considered in any way, shape or form to be sexual harassment, so should have no problem in having them hired for an event/party.
So you abiding to the sexual harassment polices of your company should not have prevented the people I asked about.
You are incorrect. You literally have no idea what you are talking about.

It's not. IGDA didn't pay for Skrillex nor Diplo.

I love how people just totally jump the gun based on some rumor. It goes from "there are women who are paid to be here its weird" to "strippers, possibly escorts at Mojang party, Notch personally responsible." Then there are fiery debates, some white knighting, etc.
Now we find out that this is probably not true in the first place.
Don't change Internet.

I love the ambiguity of the thread title. I can just see Notch soliciting random women on the sidewalk outside of the venue.
"Hey toots, you wanna shake yer moneymaker for cash?"
"Sir, I'll have you know I'm a nuclear physicist and do not appreciate that at all!"
"I don't care!" [/simpsons]
I won't be surprised if there's no real story here.

Oh shit we have a gender situation alert! We better act outraged on behalf of people we don't even know! Because gender situation!
There is seriously something wrong in our society.
Why do we have to pay women to come to a party??? Why dont they come on their own???
Whats the point if its only a sausage fest and the only women, which are on the party are paid strippers/escorts or whatever???
Explain this to me please.
Even if its a rumour on the party of mojang, this shit happens all the time everywhere else.

No, I'm saying it would go against most companies' sexual harassment policies. I agree, you are delusional.
Looks nice? Seems a pretty good reason to me...

Wasn't there another Mojang party controversy too?
Right now, loads of rumors flying around. Will wait for proof.

Jeez, Notch should just stop with the parties. All it does it generate a shitstorm.
None of it even happened so no, nobody missed the point.
yeah i know but this seems to be the norm. women dont want to act with sausages if there is no benefit as you can see on all of these parties.
It's still a stupid point. If a woman is uncomfortable with seeing other women dance, they can look away or leave.
I really don't think women are nearly as sensitive to this as people here might be thinking, though. Just feminists making mountains out of molehills, as usual.
Thankfully most of the people here seem pretty right minded.
More like where is that "meanwhile at mojang" pic where there is some strange bondage stuff going on in the middle of the room, and in the crowd you can spot a fedora guy who looks like Notch.
I was shocked and appalled.

Now we are creating controversy for controversy sakes, fucking lawl
OMG women at a party were dancing and got paid for it, ZOMG! haven't we learned anything from Anita and the DiD (damsel in distress) Trope
We have to protect them, White Knight Shield Up!

That fat guy is showing how it's done.
I kind of understand.
But for argument sake:
Men can't look at beautiful woman, because other woman feel insecure?
As long as the woman themselves aren't treated different, what's the harm? Because they feel insecure? Isn't that their problem, and something they might want to work on?
Or maybe they don't want to provide a hostile environment for their workers? How old are you?
That's not really what's happening. Re-quoting again.
If this happened, it's just reinforcing the shitty state of gender equality in the industry.

I honestly can't believe the number of posts like this that have been made. It's really pathetic.

Let's hope they do, problem solved
Wishing death on the people who think hiring women to attend a party isn't a particularly wise decision? Great!
No its pathetic that this thread was even made when the events in question never even happened. It's not pathetic to ridicule this non-news.
