Some of the women who signed a letter two years ago accusing Rocksteady Games of not preventing sexual harassment in the studio have signed another letter defending their employer’s response, studio Batman said: Arkham Knight today.
The studio released the letter on his Twitter account, saying it was unedited, unsolicited, and signed by seven of the eight original signatories to the original letter still working at Rocksteady.
“In [The Guardian’s] article, we feel that the anonymous source as sources tried to speak on behalf of all women at Rocksteady, and we do not feel that this article is an honest representation of us, the events at the time or since the letter was received, “she said .
They continue with the claim of the original article that management virtually ignored the 2018 letter, saying that Rocksteady team leaders had a series of meetings with the women there to address their issues and have since continued to work “to ensure that we have a voice within our work and within the studio … “
They also made trouble with the fact that their original letter was made public, saying that the signatories had collectively asked that it be kept a private matter years ago.
“This has left us feeling that we are being violated by the source as the sources, because it was kept private for all involved for personal reasons, not because of sector secrecy,” they said.
They signed the letter and reaffirmed their support for minority developers in the sector to speak out to create safe working environments, and studios have taken their concerns seriously.
The 2018 letter was signed by 10 of the 16 women who worked at Rocksteady at the time, addressing issues with a variety of unacceptable behaviors that everyone tolerated in the studio, including sexual harassment, sloppiness about transgendered people, and conversations about women in abusive or sexual ways.
