she literally claimed in multiple tweets during her rant that her twitter account is a private space and that people were exerting ownership over her personal time by tweeting her.

She know's she's full of shit. She's a liar. She herself has used other peoples' "private" tweets as justification for them being fired in the past.

No, I think some of them just genuinely think their public twitter is a private space. And definitely not public when making a comment about the AMA you just did. Is NO WAY anyone could infer you are carrying on a discussion or wanting input at all from that.


Basically its: "My twitter space is a private space! Unless you feed my ego and agree, then thats fine!"

Well, let's be real here, the woman is uploading sex posts and then getting offended that people look at them. Still, it counts according to Brianna Wu's own definitions of harassment.

Wonder how this will impact her run for Senator. It'll be hilarious once her opponents start digging into her past actions. So many skeletons in that closet.

In the larger scope of things this does probably strengthen GamerGate since it is yet another instance that just effortlessly proves them right.

Not that this will likely matter that much since liars will keep lying, it'll still just be a big ugly fight that goes on forever. But Price is the type of person who just drags everything she attaches to down.

That was my takeaway from it, which I find...silly...so I thought I was missing more context. >_> If Wu insulted her afterward that's really crappy, but then I just think both of them are weird..

He was actually in the CON chatlogs leak from 2014 where he, Zoe Quinn, Katherine Kross, Chris Kluwe, Dina Karam, and other anti-GG figures were talking shit about other folks in the industry they didn't like. He confirmed they were authentic and apologized for his part in it.

Ignoring that you're a liar who made that up in lieu of having an argument, do you not understand that

A) there's irony involved seeing as the lady in question literal supports firing people over what they say online?

B) there's a difference between "making a joke" and someone calling your superior because they didn't like your joke and literally shitting all over your consumer base and accusing them of sexism just because they responded to your public game development twitter message and didn't 100% agree with you?

Are you suggesting that companies should just allow their employees (who have barely been employed a year) to attack their customers and business partners in public?

What if the guy she attacked was black? Would you still find her attack acceptable, or would you demand her firing?

Articles like this kinda make me scratch my head. Especially comments that express such dismay that ArenaNet gave their community the impression that their desires are more important that anything else.

Like, no shit, they're a business and part of that is keeping their customer base happy. Not going to do that by keeping employees that openly express hostility and contempt for them. If their community's desires aren't most important, what should be? Going to bat for an employee who said something shitty because she's a woman?

Or the remark about words like "customer" and "partnered content creator" being used like they have moral weight. I think that person is missing the point if they think morality has anything to do with it.

The Ablegamers bit at the end is irrelevant to this situation and I think the writer only added it to further paint ArenaNet as the bad guys.
