Don’t forget that it gives her the opportunity to play the victim. Conservatives love their fake victimhood. It makes them feel special, like they’re fighting against injustice.

Exactly, the US is one of the only democracies that protects hate speech, with predictable results.

Alternate headline:

“As a sign of X Corp’s commitment to free speech, we’re proud to provide financial support for Gina Carano’s lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination,” X’s head of business operations Joe Benarroch said in a…

I’m completely in support of this move; watching Musk find fresh, dumb ways to burn money is a newfound hobby of mine.

This was always the end goal.

Oh come now, they didn’t “lose.” A Trump appointed judge dismissed the case, which Disney would have anticipated and which they will have a response for, and the case will continue. A case being dismissed due to a lack of standing means that it wasn’t even considered on its merits, so Disney in no way “lost.” The…

I mean, this is the company that is laying off 2,000 people while simultaneously giving Bobby ~Fucking~ Kotick a gigantic golden parachute of $400 million.

How shitty do you have to be as a company, to not allow people to redeem their fairly earned game time codes *after* they’ve been laid off too?

Now people are blaming the layoffs on "sjws"? God. Please get media literate, and realize that not every single problem in the universe is caused by "The SJWs"

Do you blame political activists when the barista gets your order wrong at Starbucks too?

I don’t disagree, but that’s endemic of corporate culture in general and not primarily the video game industry. Video game and tech companies are standing out because they swelled their ranks during the pandemic, when everybody and their mother were shoving all their luxury money on stuff that could be used during…

Funny how it isn’t the corpo pieces of shits who decided it would totally be cool to jack up the prices to use their stuff aren’t in the chopping block.

“long-term success and profitability”

I wonder if women get briefed by developers/publishers when they’re hired to act or model for a game, if they’re at all made aware of what will happen in social media as a consequence of being hired. I wonder if, whoever will end up being cast as Abby in HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, she will be made aware that,…
