Terrible video and title.
Paper is here: http://www.digra.org/wp-content/uploads/digital-library/11313.33017.pdf
Nowhere in the paper does it talk about a ban of entering the program, at all.

I think its kinda on page 17.
qoute
"***The underlying ethical question regarding our research is that it could be used to reinforce
developer/player stereotypes and sustain dominant game genres/licenses OR it could be
used to break stereotypes, diversify developers/players and innovate titles in the game
industry*. NHTV could use this research to profile its game students before accepting
them in a variation of the IGAD program.*** Not only could this improve the students’
chances of success in the program, it may also enhance their employability. Atypical

personality types could be injected into the industry to make it more representative of the
general population. Game development studios could use the information gained from
our research to better match developers to genres and/or stages of production to improve
a title’s completion rate and/or assure its quality."

I love how that PDF says 0 about auto racing games, which is all I play.

This is why we need a strong antiSJW presence. Come join /v/antiSJW, my rational minded brothers and sisters

Couldn't find /v/antisjws, but did find and subscribed to /v/antisjw. ;)
I don't know what his accent is, but I love it. Sometimes it seems Irish, then it goes Indian, and sometimes Indian + German. I'm not making fun of him, it's just way more amusing to me than it should be and I enjoy it.
Edit: Guess he's from Romania, he mentions it toward the end.

I can't even begin to fathom how stupid the world is becoming.

Yeah I used to think "If only all these idiots would embrace liberalism, we could have a better country." at some point recently I learned that dangerous idiots are dangerous idiots no matter what the ideology and that the extremist left is far scarier than the extremist right if only because people seem so eager to gobble it up.

I agree and disagree. Game Design degrees are IMNSHO a colossal waste of money (I have two Computer Science degrees, Bachelor's and Master's, so I am quite biased) but the precedent must not be set.
A lot of us KIA'ers like equality of opportunity, myself included. Anyone who wants to try should be able to get in. But an opportunity to try is not an automatic success.

Even if it's useless, I don't think the precedent should be allowed. Once they start banning you from one degree, what's to stop them from maneuvering themselves into a position where they can ban you from entering other degrees? Maybe I'm worrying a little too much, but honestly this is the kind of thing that can lead to gatekeeping of entire subjects at academic institutions.

Already happens. Your college essay is a personality test. I have a full scholarship for engineering, a 3.8 GPA and 31 on the ACT. But I was rejected by state film schools twice.
Was able to get my portfolio reviews, top score in visual, top score in writing samples, lowest score in essay and critical thinking. The responses felt I was not self aware and too consumerist bc I showed too much respect for traditional values and not enough dissent.
In other words I liked story too much to join in pushing the narrative.

It definitely sets a bad precedent, and shows just how prejudiced the US educational system is towards males.

Then the shitlords will create their own Game design Programs with blackjack and hookers.
Afterall the non SJW cishets are controlling everything.
No, but I really like to see how they manage that without eating thier own for not being "progressive" enough.
