You can babble on about how gamers are sexist, misogynistic pigs because they don't approve of a game dev harassing and insulting consumers and tweeting about how they were glad someone died, the rest of us will just continue to laugh at your dumb ass posts like we've been doing for over 3 pages now.

OBriens statement is actively dangerous; it takes at face value bad-faith arguments made by aggrieved people online who may or may not be players.

I mean when i come with literally multiple sources supporting her and disagreeing with the decision, only to have those sources just handwaved away as biased...what's the point of taking that side seriously? But it shouldn't even be a matter of who supports who. That employee is a PR nightmare. Man or woman, I would dread having someone that inflammatory interact with clients/customers/patients. It blows my mind that someone can have so little restraint as to not berate a consumer publicly, and has apologists for it. I mean Christ this employee had the luxury of seeing what she typed before even hitting send; it's not like an "accidental" slip of tongue. This shouldn't even be about gamergate or whatever attached harrassment campaign. It's a basic exercise in an employer not being able to stand by an representative's actions and having to let that person go as a result. --- https://imgur.com/SGkkbF0 <cite>MrPeppers posted [p:904858527] in ArenaNet&#...

That employee is a PR nightmare. Man or woman, I would dread having someone that inflammatory interact with clients/customers/patients. It blows my mind that someone can have so little restraint as to not berate a consumer publicly, and has apologists for it. I mean Christ this employee had the luxury of seeing what she typed before even hitting send; it's not like an "accidental" slip of tongue.

Gamergate was literally founded on the Five Guys infographic (cause nothing says ethical journalism like a Facebook infographic made in MS paint made by a guy angry at his ex girlfriend about how she cheated on him with 5 guys 3 of which were completely proven false and two for which there exists no supporting evidence besides he said she said.) --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:904858593] in ArenaNet&#...

Btw the only "journalism outlets" that came out in support of her were Kotaku, Polygon and Buzzfeed. The same ones that are universally mocked by the public, both gamers and non-gamers alike lmao. Sorry to break it to you fam, but the general public doesn't think women are so delicate that they can't be criticized for anything and need to be treated with kid gloves. I noticed you continuously ignored that she was fired over more than just the tweet too; she has had a history of being shitty and got fired from all of her previous jobs for that as well "B-b-b-b-b-but muh sexism" nah stfu I guess her peers coming out in support of her universally mocked too?
