💻 📄 Beitrag: ihr möchtet gern Game Studies im DACH-Raum studieren, aber wie... und wo?? Joshua Lendel und Alex Thallinger thematisieren im Beitrag

Einstiegshürden in die Game Studies. Angebot, Orientierung, und Ausgrenzung

den oft abenteuerlichen und nicht selten ausgrenzenden Einstieg in den Bereich der Game Studies. Den Beitrag könnt ihr hier lesen:

Einstiegshürden in die Game Studies. Angebot, Orientierung, und Ausgrenzung

Der Einstieg in die Game Studies ist für viele Studierende von mangelndem Angebot einschlägiger Studiengänge, Orientierungslosigkeit im interdisziplinären Forschungsfeld und gefühlter oder tatsächlicher sozialer und kultureller Ausgrenzung gekennzeichnet. Bei über 500 Hochschulen im DACH-Raum finden sich nur bei 8 Studiengänge und Promotionsmöglichkeiten in den Game Studies, und in der fachfremden und interdisziplinären Auseinandersetzung mit Games fehlt oft der Bezug zum Feld. Durch soziale und kulturelle Vorurteile und Erwartungshaltungen gegenüber ‚dem Gamer’ entstehen Dynamiken der Stigmatisierung rund um digitale Spiele, die eine Abwehrhaltung produzieren, die vor allem im Zusammenspiel mit sexistischen Strukturen nicht-männliche Personen in der Games-Kultur im Allgemeinen und den Game Studies im Besonderen doppelt trifft. Wir schlagen daher vor, pro-aktiv studentische Initiative und Interesse zu unterstützen, das eigene Interesse an Game Studies explizit nach außen zu tragen, standardisierte Fachdatenbanken und Lexika zu etablieren, und Angebote für Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen zu setzen, die ihnen einen gleichberechtigten Zugang zur Scientific Community ermöglichen.

#Femmeschwelle 23. Liest du gezielt zu Feminismus, schnappst du eher Dinge auf oder leitest du dir das meiste selbst her?
Ich habe ja #GenderStudies studiert vor vielen Jahren und mir da ne gewisse Basis angeeignet. Und dann schneide ich viel im Internet mit, lese Artikel und z.T. Diskussionen im Netz - manchmal bringe ich mich dazu ein.
¡Comparto esto desde la cuenta del grupo, que casi no la usamos!
Un artículo sobre un tema siempre interesante, el efecto del género en la medicina y la ciencia. En este trabajo, en endocrinología reproductiva en los EUA:

Persistent gender disparities in research productivity among U.S. reproductive endocrinologists: a cross-sectional analysis - Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics

Purpose To assess gender-based differences in career trajectories among reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) physicians in the United States, focusing on leadership, research productivity, and professional involvement. Methods This was a cross-sectional comparative study of demographic, professional, and research metrics stratified by gender. Practicing REI physicians were identified through the ASRM directory. Physician gender was evaluated as a variable influencing career outcomes. Main outcome measures included practice setting, geographic distribution, research productivity (h-index, publications, citations), academic leadership, journal editorial board, and society board positions. Mann–Whitney U and Chi-square tests were performed. Results Among 767 REI physicians, 55% were male and 45% female. Slightly more females worked in academic settings (33.3% vs. 25.1%), while more males were in private practice (70.4% vs. 66.7%). Leadership representation was comparable between genders. Female physicians had marginally greater representation on editorial (7.8% vs. 7.1%) and society boards (5.8% vs. 4.3%). Males, however, had significantly higher research productivity (mean h-index: 16.44 vs. 10.94; publications: 52.53 vs. 26.72; citations: 2216.69 vs. 1155.28; all p < 0.001). Conclusion Despite near parity in leadership representation, gender disparities persist in research productivity among REI physicians. These discrepancies may reflect systemic inequities in academic support, promotion criteria, and institutional culture. Structural barriers such as inequitable research resources, gendered service loads, and family-building or domestic responsibilities may further constrain women’s ability to engage in sustained scholarly productivity and advancement. Future efforts can prioritize inclusive data practices, equitable promotion policies, and targeted interventions to support diversity within reproductive medicine.

Alright, so we finally have our first undeniable #EpsteinPlot post; I'm sorry it took us like twenty posts to get here but like I warned you way back when I first repurposed this thread to talk about Epstein, his powerful friends, and the incredibly massive coverup surrounding all of this, this is multi-decade crime against not only Epstein's victims, but our society as a whole. I can't walk you through it in three 5K character posts, even if I wish I could.

Of course, #Epstein plotting to discredit sexual assault survivors out of his own self interest with other powerful men accused of abuse during the #MeToo moment isn't the biggest conspiracy fact exposed in the Epstein Files, nor are his co-conspirators the most powerful people among Epstein's friends, confidants, plotters, and advisors. The people in the story I shared above are all scumbags and monsters, but they're pretty small fry compared to say, two US presidents (including the guy in office right now) and a former Israeli Prime Minister.

Despite this however, even this chain of plotting in Epstein's email box, directly corelates with macro decisions made by members of the #EpsteinClass that affect our society as a whole - in this case US President #DonaldTrump, who is not only #InTheFiles but I'm comfortable putting on the #EpsteinList of actual pedo rapists and likely human traffickers. To understand the connection between the micro and the macro, Let's turn to this recent piece by Joan Wallach Scott that talks about Trump's executive order on gender (the same one that says I, as a trans woman basically don't exist) and the growing, successful quest across the United States to eliminate gender studies courses, through the lens of an Epstein class chock full of extremely powerful abusers and more than willing enablers exposed in the US Justice Departments various (and still incomplete) #EpsteinFiles releases.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/13/gender-studies-trump-epstein

Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why

"The move to cancel gender studies is explicitly justified as a way to comply with Donald Trump’s executive order of last year titled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. That document makes “the biological reality of sex” a matter not of science but of law.

Until this week’s latest dump of the Epstein files by Trump’s justice department, I hadn’t seen the connection between the two. But now it’s as clear as day. The abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women and girls apparently knew no bounds, whether they actually slept with the women on offer or simply shared Epstein’s fantasies in order to gain influence or funding."

Okay so first things first, lets put lets put former director of the Whitney Museum #DavidRoss "in the files" and on the "confirmed sick fucks" list even if he was bonding with Epstein over pedo shit, not necessarily committing rape crimes as far as we know, yet. What a revolting human being.

With that out of the way, I think the author's argument that Trump's attempt to enshrine biological gender determinism into law, and a fascist American right's weaponization of that law to eradicate critical studies programs that not only elevate women's voices but illuminate the structural causes behind the victimization of women and girls by powerful men and the existence of the Epstein ring itself, are a clear and obvious boon to abusers and confidants named in the Epstein files, is utterly unassailable. Re-marginalizing women's voices as a whole, further marginalizes women accusing powerful men of sexual assault; full stop.

So at that point, all that's left to argue about is whether or not this relationship between Epstein's plots to rewind time on the accusations against him, the larger Epstein circle of friends attempts to rewind time on #MeToo accusations, and noted Epstein associate and imo exposed ring member Donald Trump's attempts to rewind time on women having a voice to accuse men like him in the first place, is intentional. On that matter, the Epstein Files are as of yet silent, but as a rational observer I think the establishment world around us warping to Trump's whims and desires silence and further re-marginalize women and sexual violence victims, is singing quite loudly. I can't prove that Trump's executive order, or the decision by US Universities to end gender studies courses arose directly out of Jeff Epstein's plotting, but going forward I want you to pay attention to how often the things Trump and his fascist administration do to reshape our society, just happen to line up perfectly with the ideas and strategies being run through Jeff Epstein's inbox by some of the most powerful, influential, and quite frankly fucking disgusting people on Earth.
