But she did reply, and this individual was not critiquing her, he simply wanted to open a dialogue. Instead she took it as an attack against her person and proceeded in the following tweets, to call some fans asshats, and said they were mancrying. She took offensive where there was none to be taken. Your a writer, you…

Consumers are 100% permitted to have opinions and complaints about the products they buy. Telling devs how to do their jobs is what players are for. This instance was totally reasonable and thought-out.

I question your wording here. You say that she was “approached.” However, she was posting her thoughts regarding her work on a public forum. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that she was “approached.” If anything, she was “inviting” discussion. Discussion specifically about her work. That she apparently couldn’t…

Does anybody think she was obliged to reply?  If she simply ignored the tweet, would anyone have been up in arms?  I doubt it.  She was criticized for her reply, not her non-reply

The amount of water being carried for Jessica Price by Kotaku in the piece and the comments would be enough to make a new ocean. It is bad enough that she is a loathsome human being who applauds when people she doesn’t like die of cancer, but even more ridiculous is that she was flat out wrong here.

Price is a powder keg of wtf, she shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.

I disagree, Heather. She was speaking on her personal Twitter, yes, but she was speaking about the kind of work she did in relation to a recent AMA that ArenaNet did on Reddit. She was, in fact, representing ANet by opening up that line of discussion on her own Twitter feed. If I started speaking about my place of…

Read the original messages and judge for yourself. Were these appropriate responses to customers? Or was she an innocent victim?

My dude, Deroir is one of the most respected content creators in the GW2 community. He’s also an official Arenanet partner and has an NPC named after him. Definitely not “some rando asshat” - he was respectfully bringing up a legit criticism that a lot of people in the community have had with the game’s writing, and…

1) You don’t know my life at all. I can’t even go to the goddamn beach with my boyfriend without some asshole shouting homophobic slurs.

Suppose, every day, I pick up litter around my house. Then, one day, a group of assholes comes in and says “There’s a bunch of litter around your house! You should pick it up, or we’ll stand out here and protest! Fuck you for allowing this trash to be all around your house.”, would I be wrong for going out the next…

They set the standard of firing people who randomly insult their fans.

If she doesn’t want people replying to what she posts, she can start a blog and turn the comments off. That’s not what Twitter is and acting like someone replying to your tweet with extremely polite disagreement is some grand act of sexism is idiotic.

Taking the original twitter spat alone, her behavior was ridiculous. She posted a multi-tweet essay, essentially, to a public space. Someone respectfully commented on that essay and she began passively insulting him.

she was being vulgar and a misandrist. using profanity at people being respectful toward you when you misunderstood is just wrong. she deserved to be fired.

“By the time that guy came along, I was so tired of having random people explain my job to me in company spaces where I had to just smile and nod that it was like, ‘No. Not here. Not in my space,’”

I mean, it is Canada. Either the cop was so patient because their handbooks aren’t laced with racism like in America OR this is an example of the handbook at play, luckily this guy is white, lol.

It’s time for bloggers who never actually created anything of value to stop telling artists who make that their life’s work what to do.

You sound like a manbaby. Why are you threatened by strong female characters? Disney owes you nothing. Rose Tico left instagram because of misogynistic comments like yours. TLJ wasn’t overly long. A slow speed chase through space is exciting and very much in keeping with Star Wars style and content. You’re just mad…

You know, some people also didn’t like The Last Jedi because it’s a structurally questionable movie with some bad writing and underdeveloped (or underused) characters.
