What's most interesting to me is that people choose to blame developers for their observations of quality or content of software, games, etc. Completely ignoring the organizational or institutional structure involved, as if we all have complete autonomy over the products we work on.

I've seen people blame developers for, like, female characters in games being oversexed. Newsflash- that's a business, product, and design decision. People even tried to blame engineers for the VW emissions scandal! Companies nowadays set ridiculous release schedules, overwork their developers, and release crap. But sure, blame the devs, that will probably help.

The author here is a dev so there's really no excuse.
