Fucking Game Jam

So, I should probably be writing this about on Plus10Damage, but since they don't allow swearing (well they do, but only under circumstances, because we want to keep some semblance of professionalism) fuck it. I need to vent on how fucking shitty what happened at this game jam was.
Ok, so for those of you who don't know, this game jam was supposed to be a group of well known indie devs making a game in a few days, with a group of Polaris youtubers (totalbiscuit, JonTron, Angry Joe - you know, most of the big ones) judging the best game. The main focus was supposed to be on showing the public the actual process of game development, as that's something that's rarely seen.
However, since Disney now owns Polaris, and since there were sponsors like Mountain Due, it kind of turned to shit.
Firstly, they turned it into a fucking reality tv show. You know, the kind of braindead television most people go to youtube and netflix to avoid.
Secondly, the devs were sorely mistreated. Because they were sponsored by mountain due, they weren't allowed to drink water. They HAD to drink mountain due despite fucking dehydration.
Jesse Cox was supposed to be a judge because he is a pretty big youtuber. However, the sponsors told him they didn't like his screen presence - essentially saying he was too ugly to judge video games - and told him he wasn't a judge anymore. He may be overweight, but he doesn't look fugly by any stetch of the imagination. Here's a picture of him.
Even Dodger was initially turned down as a host because they didn't think she was "professional enough." Yeah sure. Rumour has it it was because she was too short. She is far from ugly. Like... seriously far from ugly.
Not to mention one of the female developers was asked to take off her jacket to look more attractive, and then told she had to cover her tattoos while still somehow showing off her figure. They were asked stupid questions like "do you think your team has an advantage because you have a pretty girl on your team" and other stupid bs I thought we left behind in the fucking sixties.
Eventually everyone said fuck this and left on the first day. Both the youtubers and the devs said they weren't going to be a part of it and essentially wasted $400,000 of sponsors money.
Still, despite that being somewhat awesome, the rest is fucking disgusting. Seriously, fuck this shit.
I am a little tired, so I may have misinterpreted some shit so I'll post the full article here so you can read if you want to.

It is like 5000 words so I kinda just summarised. But seriously, fuck you Polaris, and Disney, and mountain dew (you don't even get capital letters you fucking kitten raping cunts) for turning what would have been an awesome insight into game development into a soulless cash grab.
