chrono625 07/09/18 9:40:12 PM #155:	Esrac posted... https://archive.fo/0y9to 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. The victim complex is strong with these people. --- https://imgur.com/Rqk1DYV - Super Bowl XXI/XXV/XLII/XLVI Champions - NY Giants Eli Manning SB tracker: 2/2 Superbowls 2/2 SBMVP's <cite>chrono625 posted [p:904791146] in Arenanet p...

There are two options that fair minded people would pick between (note: option 1 is much, much better): 1) People are, except in rare circumstances, not punished at work for what they say in their private lives 2) Everyone gets punished and held accountable at work for what they say in their private lives, even when it's something trivial SJWs are butthurt because they actually want option #3, which is that they get to control speech and only people who say things that they don't like get fired. And that's actually how it was for a good chunk of Obama's administration until Conservatives started fighting back.
