They lost their jobs because they violated the rules of a convention and cost their employer money.

Oh, I agree. She got what she deserved too.

So, when you see people braking the rules, you should mind your own business and let them get away with it?

One guy said, "I would fork that guys repo".

Sexual innuendo may not be sexisim, but it is without a doubt sexual language, which was in fact expressly prohibited by the pycon rules.

She tweeted to the pycon people that some people behind her were making sexist jokes. I assume so she would not have to get out of her chair and miss the speaker.

She tweeted to pycon that some guys guys were making inappropriate comments. IDK if it was in the article linked from the page, but it is on the web somewhere...

The double entendre is not the issue. The sexual nature is the issue.

She did not get them fired. She has said that she disagrees with the firing as well.

Puns of a sexual nature would technically be considered to be sexual language by the most literal interpretations.

Yeah they were at that convention because their job payed a lot of money for them for attend. If I was their boss I would fire them just for getting kicked out and wasting the money, let alone the backlash their comments caused to the company's reputation.

RTFA? She did take it up directly with the organizers, who ejected the guys from the confrence for violating their rules. The rules explicit say don't make sexist jokes, and they went ahead and made sexist jokes.

More like, a couple of guys violated the rules of the conference they were attending, and thus were ejected from the venue by security.

They violated the rules of the convention, and were ejected from the convention for doing so. They were escorted them out of the room by security.

So by your logic racist jokes are fine to tell when you are sitting next to minorities? As long as you don't actually direct the racist jokes directly at a specific individual there is no reason that anyone to be offended?

That liquid symbolises the tears of Sega's loyal fans, which will invariably be shed as Sega ruins another one of their beloved franchises.

Shining Force IV: Tears of Loyalty...

I am really enjoying Onslaught mode in Zombie Studio's free to play shooter Blacklight : Retribution... it is like Ghost in the Shell v.s. 28 Days Later.

The game looks like Fallen Earth with aliens.

Wow, a car analogy. What the fuck do you think this is, slashdot?
