I'm sick of this bullshit convention culture that allows stuff like this to happen. The CodeMash sponsors should be fleeing from the event and be embarrassed.

I'm a fucking professional, not a frat boy. I like to socially drink as much as the next person but a fucking professional convention is not the place for it. CodeMash is responsible for this incident; they created a situation where a woman, overwhelming minority in this type of place I'm sure, was compelled to engage in this person to the point where it escalated to this level. It's fucking sickening.
I for one vow not to attend another convention where drinking is part of the event. We are fucking professionals, people. Stop trying to prove how hip you are.
- jvanenk 13y agoBecause of the timing, it's unlikely this was done in response to this incident, but CodeMash did update its code of conduct on September 26th. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/codemash/abX4UEL4vG4/eI2UNu6qLwkJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/codemash/abX4UEL4vG4/e...
- empthought 13y agoOh come on -- this was in the hotel bar before the conference even began. It was not an event in any way associated with Codemash except for the fact that Justine and her boss were both there for the conference. Where's your ire and indignation for the bartenders, hotel staff, and the firm where they both worked? Codemash, its organizers and sponsors aren't even on the radar for "people not actually the assailant yet are somehow responsible for the assailant's behavior."
