I am, indeed, BR. :)

I didn’t know about the scarcity of special prisons, though. That’s good to know. From now on, I shall be more careful when committing crimes.

Yes, fucking children is unspeakable and pederasts should be punished. However, just to be clear: You’re not on any moral high ground if you are OK with murderers murdering because the murdered also did something wrong. You’re just OK with murderers indulging in their criminal behaviour because you hate their victim.

Don’t twist my words. One doesn’t need to be a hermeneutics specialist to be able to appreciate the difference between “a real concern” and “the real concern”. I can be concerned about more than one thing at once. I’ve never said nor have I ever even came close to implying that the principal concern should be his…

That’s actually a real concern. He should go to jail but he shouldn’t be tortured and murdered which is what will probably happen to him if he goes to working-class prison.

Thanks for that. Numerous, repeated posts defending women-only spaces at PAX and why excluding men from those events isn’t the same as being “sexist against men”. The man’s got an actual history showing he’s not the same person he was 14 years ago. That means something. 

There are a lot of depending factors. I grew up in a heavily racist country, for most of my life I truly believed I was not racist while literally doing racist things. I was indoctrinated into it as a child. Even on my journey out of it there were so many layers of racism tied into my identity, my communities…

Here’s a thread of him 3 years ago defending a decision to host a women/non binary only event at PAX, to add some weight behind “people change and can begin to erase their terrible legacy through acts of greater good”

Do you know how many forums accounts I’ve made over time that I’ve lost the password to along with whatever old ass yahoo/aol email I used? Or that I straight up forgot exists by this point? Granted my internet legacy is bad takes and not racism or sexism, but you’re acting like him leaving it undeleted is some…

I refuse to deny people the ability to grow and fix their shortcomings. There’s literally nothing to be gained by doing otherwise. Age is irrelevant.

What a terrible take. If he currently believes this, fire him. If he has owned up to his own shitty past, as long as he didn't hurt anyone and go unpunished, then no, you shouldn't have to pay the piper for something you said 14 years ago.

I would not be surprised if what he was trying to get across was ‘please let me know if I am unwittingly following an abuser, so I can stop following them, and it’s OK to do so privately’, but it did not land well.

If they had demonstrably changed their behavior, then no, I wouldn’t. If it was an ongoing pattern, then sure, fair game.

So we are all defined by the mistakes we’ve made forever? What good does firing this guy do if he has truly changed? This isn’t about protecting fellow employees, it’s about saving face for people like you.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re a troll, an op, or a bizarre person who is constantly missing the forest for the trees. 

One is a person who had disgusting views, the other is a strategy employed by people who still hold those views to societally punish anyone they disagree with. I’m gonna say they’re both bad and leave it at that.

I’m not sure it’s about the age you said it at than the culture you said it in though.  Topics are way more sensitive now than they were 14 years ago.

It’s not, but are people in their 30s or 40s going to have to worry about their shitty 14 year old self’s Myspace page coming back to haunt us? A crude/offensive Yearbook signing?  That time they vented on their GeoCities page?

Not to minimize the misogyny in any way, but if I, a 50+ year old dude, wore that shirt, I would expect a few comments directed my way.

This is really stretching for the dogpile. A vendor attaching a penalty charge to a quote and a gross incident at a satellite office in Eden Prairie, MN, schlepping the dregs of Activision’s output, is decidedly not Blizzard/Anaheim, as horrible as both stories are. As embarrassing and horrible as what has been…

“Now you must attempt to reconcile with Tabitha while staying in her depilated, unsettling mansion, while befriending locals of the town, and becoming embroiled in a mystery surrounding some strange noises in the woods.”

Why is the mansion described as having been shorn of hair? Do you maybe mean “dilapidated”?
