Oh yeah definitely a thing, it always feels like it’s some seemingly innocuous comment that gets filtered through personal feelings and taken as a personal attack.
I had a pair of producers I’d worked with for years say they were scared of me after a meeting. They barged into a meeting and kept interjecting because they…

I’ve been living my whole life hearing about millennials being lazy, entitled, and sensitive. Ok Boomer has at least 20 more years before we are even.

As long as Boomers act exaggeratedly offended when they hear it, OK Boomer will live on.

This is another amazing write-up, Heather. I love to read your stories and gather some insight into what you do and how it’s done.

You really hate it when people of color, especially women of color, have better jobs and more respect than your sorry white ass, don’t you?

hnnnnngh shiny rock lizard brain need plz give

lol you’re so mad that your limp-dicked idol is going down in flames that you’re making accounts to troll comment message boards with pathetic quips that 6th-graders would roll their eyes at. Evaluate your priorities in life. 

I am so glad that you are in the treasonous minority and the majority of decent, patriotic people in this country are going to put you and your discount bin fuhrer in their proper place.

Anybody talking about “likability” in the context of an actual white supremacist can log right off, personally

On one hand: Yeah, I get it. The situation in Hong Kong is a pretty massive lose-lose situation for almost every western company. You don’t want to lose access to the Chinese market, and China’s shown a willingness to do so vindictively in the past. But your employees got those pesky morals they won’t shut up about,…

Okay, but this is just more corporate speak without any merits. The whole “free speech is important, but we also feel like using our platforms is inappropriate!” really comes down to “Don’t cost us any fuckin’ money, kid. Please make your protest convenient to us.”

I have neither shouted nor shown any political stance. Just pointing out that you are being needlessly defensive about something no one is forcing your hand about.

Ooohhh, poor baby is tired of hearing about politics in his fuunn ttiimmeesss?!

No one if forcing you not to be apathetic.

Gee, I’m so sorry. It’s crazy that people like me care to point out silly things like companies participating in the suppression of dissent against an authoritarian government during a massive crackdown on millions of people wanting nothing more than democracy and personal freedom.

My best advice to beginners is don’t be overwhelmed by the intricacies of the rules. Learn the basic rules (phases, casting costs, attacking, etc) and then learn the rest of them as you play. It’s kinda like D&D in the sense that you could read every compendium before you even started making a character but you really…

Fun fact: nobody has been fired, we’re all still here and still doin’ our thing.

Best wishes to all the Kotaku staffers just fired.
