>>713580210 (OP)The sort of people who make games are nonconfrontational by nature, so what happens is you have a team of 250 people, one of them is a troon or is troon-adjacent, so they get into slack and start spamming their special topic as all autists do, which happens to be troon shit. Once this happens, a few things happen:
the other employees don't want to push back, because they're afraid to be rude
the other employees don't want to push back, beacuse they're afraid of HR
the other employees dont want to push back, because it will be posted on social media, and troons will mail bombs to their wife and children
In this way a troon can exert a lot of outsized influence. There are other aspects, like the propensity for game developers to be online a lot and the propensity for troons to end up as jannies and thereby control online spaces, but that's really the gist of it, a single troon can't be pushed back on very easily, and won't be in the usual game dev environment, or corporate environment in general.
