Yeah, I don’t think I’m the one with a problem here, if I’m talking about widespread censorship by the religious right and you jump straight to child porn. Let’s haul in every CoD player for mass murder while we’re at it.

Interesting. Never ran across that usage before.

Nice strawman.

Because - even if the unprovable claim is true - companies vary in how they’re run, especially between industries.

Leave the gender essentialism to the reactionaries, please.

Oh I’m not hopeful of it actually happening. Just saying the CEO wouldn’t have to sign off on his own replacement if he actually cost the company enough.

That explains why they hired someone who specializes in excusing them.
