YOU!

It’s pretty weak rhetoric to try to parallel the behavior of the rage babies here to those other circumstances when there are better tactics.

I guess they were just looking for a reason at this point. She doesn’t take criticism or opinions well. She may be great at her job, but shitty interpersonal skills. And pretty terrible human being from the look of her tweets. Fuck.

This is the most dead-on take. The same people complaining about this firing actively cheer and propagate an atmosphere in which this precise type of firing is commonplace. In other words, they approve of the tactic, they just don’t like seeing it applied to people whose views they agree with. We should all be against…

As a Computer Engineer and as a woman I have experienced sexism in the past, and let me tell you something, it doesn’t look like this.

He literally did nothing and his stance on gamergate was essentially the same as Switzerland in world politics.

It wasn't patronizing. Seriously just stop with this. There was nothing patronizing about his comment unless you are a thin skinned person who dislikes having your abilities called into question. 

“That’s not true. The online mob was demanding she be fired. ArenaNer can retroactively claim otherwise... but that’s them simply trying to save face. “

Hi, liberal here!

In no way am I dismissing any other part of the article besides the opening where they state she was fired due to a mob and misrepresenting what the original commenter said.

“started simply because they choose to fire her simply due to an online mob demanding it.” 

Just because a man offers a dissenting opinion, or an opinion at all, does not make it ‘mansplaining’, which is also one of the more idiotic fucking terms coined in the past decade - on par with YOLO. Gender/sex had absolutely NOTHING to do with the situation until she made it so. 

“trying to sack individuals they don’t agree with is disgusting” ...um half of this network of site’s articles are “gotcha” videos or tweets demanding mob justice 

Or maybe, just MAYBE she deserved to be fired for her actions AND the subreddit deserves to be banned. Just because you have one villain doesn’t mean the other side is a hero: they can both be villains.

We don’t know that for certain. This is far from the first time she has been a shithead towards fans. After so much crap, ArenaNet could have been looking for any reason to fire her; that happened to be it.

Because she also hates Peter Thiel and you know, that whole Gawker thing...

If my twitter profile said “Microsoft Database Engineer”. And on this same comment I insulted you repeatedly. How long do you think it would take for people to contact Microsoft to have me fired?
Its basic knowledge in any business. You dont mix your work and social profiles. I dont understand why is it so hard to…

It’s a huge game of hide the real “socialism.” Everything remotely socialized is socialism until it craps out and becomes “not real socialism.”

Democratic socialism isn’t social democracy dummy. Democratic socialism is exactly like regular socialism except they want people to vote in their own tyranny instead of having a revolution. Social democracies are capitalist systems with a larger welfare state. The difference is that social democracies don’t give a…

So you don’t think adding 2% to your population for multiple years when almost all of those people don’t speak the language or have skills to work in your economy isn’t a big problem like in Sweden? Because Sweden’s next election may return a party whose history includes collaborating with the Nazis. Italy returned a…
