I do as well. For example, I love to belly dance, but worry, as a white woman, that it’s cultural appropriation if I were to pursue learning the various dances, and wanted to perform as part of a dance troupe (not that I’d ever be good enough for that!) 

No, that seems like an entirely reasonable take. It seems antithetical to a diverse society.

Am I the only person who struggles with cultural appropriation uproar? I thought different cultures mixing and borrowing from each other was the point of living in a diverse society. Is it reasonable to assume that people of different cultures living together would wall off the ability of their culture being used by…

“Also, keep in mind that, when it comes to actually helping those kids escape from that flooded cave, Elon Musk provided exactly as much help as I did.”

His tunnel boring machine must have hit a major breakthrough, given the rate at which he is digging himself in a hole.

seriously... one of the major themes from the show is that John B. felt he didn’t have any family that cared about his welfare, just the potential of the gold he’d hid.

Who wants to bet it’s those cousins from Florida who weren’t portrayed in the greatest light? They came across in the podcast as making a cash-grab anyways.

AYSM? She implied the commenter was sexist. That’s an attack.

You must really hate the game reviews/critiques/thinkpieces that make up about half of this site. Because I’ve got some bad news for you, most of the folks writing those aren’t developers and largely have no professional game production experience whatsoever.

ANet fired Price because she was representing the company as a terrible person. Tons of people liked her work, even Deroir has stated multiple times he liked her work and is big in the GW2 community so her blowing up on one of the largest influencers who has supported her is a huge factor.

They didn't do anything to themselves, this won't affect ANet at all because they didn't do anything wrong. Employee has a history of being a dick on social media, employee gets fired after she does it too many times. 

That’s what the media told you to believe. Now yake the time to read the entire ordeal on Twitter & see all the information Kotaku & Polygon left out.

I think Price definitely deserved to be fired, but Fries firing is more questionable, and it’s hard to say why he did. Maybe he refused to apologize. Maybe ArenaNet wanted to make an example out of him too or didn’t want Price to seem like she was fired because she’s a girl and he wasn’t because he’s a guy. No one…

Not sure if you’re trying to dismiss what I’m saying by implying I’ve missed the point or am late to the party but the article suffers by twisting the initial narrative. Those “ripples” include those emboldened assholes pointing to cases like Jessicas and claiming the gaming media just twists the story to fit an…

While true this article is still glossing over and making Price a victim of others instead of her own actions.

The repercussions you speak of are based on lies. Prices blaming sexism and mysogyny, bots and reddit mobs instead of her own actions is disgusting. There is nothing else to infer here. Thats it. There is no “ripple” its simply sensationalism. Read the offending tweets yourself. Anyone making a mountain out of this…

Exactly. If you work for a company lets say, and attack its fans for merely making a polite suggestion, you would probably be fired too. To add to that, she then implied sexism, misogyny and a reddit backed conspiracy...all for her own mistake of needlessly insulting a fan of her work and her employers. Unacceptable…

While all the GamerGaters are shit heads, and people trying to sack individuals they don’t agree with is disgusting, Price is a total fucking asshole and has proved it multiple times in her social media feeds. ArenaNet did the right thing by letting her go. No one wants to employ a public facing person with zero self…

Disclaimer: I am just talking about Jessica Price here, the other episodes of harassment are shitty and unacceptable and I am NOT pro-gamergate here.

“Two Guild Wars 2 narrative designers, Jessica Price and Peter Fries, were fired after Jessica attacked a well-established community member for asking a questions, shouted sexism, and refused to back down. This led people to dig into her Twitter page and realize she frequently posts opinions that ArenaNet does not…
