Brave Tiana Lowe first brought us the scandalous news from USC that an all-male ‘Legends of Gaming’ panel was canceled at the last minute because there were no women on it.
USC runs one of the only gaming courses in the nation so this news is very worrying – and students are unimpressed.
But the newly notorious Tracy Fullerton, USC’s Director of Fauxminism, sorry, Gaming, is doubling down. She told the student paper she was ‘on the right side of history’:
“There was no perfect choice here. There was only the choice to stand for one set of values or another. So, I chose the path I believe in. You all are free to disagree, but I think it is the right side of history.”
That’s so kind that we are all free to disagree. USC students have, however, missed this awesome opportunity. Tiana Lowe wrote:
Everybody wins, until the top games department in the country cancels the “Legends of the Games Industry” — that’s not me editorializing, that was the actual name of the panel — just four hours before the event because the panelists happened to, well, collectively lack vaginas. The cancellation of the event denied female students an educational opportunity in the name of feminism.
Tiana’s op-ed speaks for a lot of folks online, too. Here’s some of the Fallout 4 what Tracy Fullerton did:

USC Director Tracy Fullerton censored the panel because there was no woman on board, as the last minute. She made gaming legends go home.

@DrEvilGamer But thanks to Tracy Fullerton, they didn't have to face the Legends of the Game Industry panel today. Aren't they lucky?

Heat Street is examining the alleged connection with Indie Cade and the SJW vs Gaming Legends reaction at USC – more on this developing story about ethics in games teaching as we get it.
