YouTube has given a pilot order to It’s a Man’s World (working title), a provocative half-hour comedy taking on gender inequality in the gaming industry. It is written by Smash creator Theresa Rebeck and produced by Christina Wayne’s Assembly Entertainment in association with ITV Studios America.

When she gets fired without explanation and finds that she’s being blacklisted by everyone in her industry, Emma decides to dress as a man to get a new job and to continue supporting her family. As strange and politically incorrect as Emma’s new life may be, she begins to enjoy the newfound ease of access and power that comes with being a man.

When will they learn?

 

[Agent Wet]

How many times are they going to keep doing this kind of shit ?

 

[Zaragoza]

Towards the end of the first season she finds out (((who))) really were responsible for her blackmailing.

Hasn't this been the plot of several awful comedies and one decent one (Bosom Buddies?)? If we're stealth rebooting early Tom Hanks vehicles I DEMAND a Mazes and Monsters remake.

I'm legitimately on the verge of totally removing YouTube from my life.

Seriously, I have every episode of The Joy of Painting on my hard drive. I can last forever.

This sounds like an awful 80s sitcom.

Anyway, they already did the high school version of this in the 80s. Just One Of The Guys. It's not a new idea. But in the 80s we didn't have current year identity politics so the story was allowed to be fun.

Thousands on Tumblr are probably already kin with the main character.

I remember when I told a friend I was making a game so they got me expelled from school until I dressed up as a man

There was a lesbian, Norah Vincent, who decided to pretend to be a man for a year to see how it is.
After the experiment ended, she concluded that being a man sucks and being a woman is a privilege:

a provocative half-hour comedy taking on gender inequality in the gaming industry.

yes, it does seem kind of unfair, if only women got the support they needed...

 

[lordoftheflies]

the best thing of this is that there is no middle ground.
if they try to make it a political commentary they will have to shat on gaming and will get hell for it.
if they try to be self aware and mock the stance that men have it easier than women, SJW will eat em alive.

no matter how they play, they already lost

Well, now we know what side YouTube is on!

As if a woman would get blacklisted from the industry. What did she do, fiddle kids?

It is written by Smash creator Theresa Rebeck

I thought Smash was made by Sakurai?

Ohhh not the good Smash, okay.

Also fun fact, she was actually fired from Smash. Why, I don't know, but that really doesn't bode well that she was fired from her own creation.

Also fun fact, she was actually fired from Smash. Why, I don't know

My understanding is she was consistently late with content and unable/unwilling to take notes. Also, she brought in stuff from her private life into the scripts and it was easily the worst part of the show.

Hmm. Creator/writer for something unable to think of anything new, instead just has a self-insert going through what they went through. Where have I heard that before... oh, right, a whole slew of narcissistic SJWs whose works subsequently fail. Funny, that.

So basically the John K. method of running a show? Refuse to turn in work and throw a shitfit when the channel cans your lazy ass?

Oh but she's a woman so it's misogyny. No, seriously, she claims she was let go for no reason other than that she was working in a male-dominated field.

Weren’t a lot of those blizzard interns doing shit other than working on games? I want to say those female interns were doing shit like marketing or HR or working in accounting, not actually sitting down and working on code.

the twist is she learns she was fired for being a toxic cunt, realizes she was wrong and moves on

It's not woke enough if whoever plays Emma is not a black disabled FtM tranny.
