I'm reporting all of these videos btw.  Muscular women should use their bodies on the Olympia stage not the bedroom, and I'm not going to put up with it.

...wasn’t etoilet a GW2 stan?

he was and the game sucks. but the story and writing were some of the few good parts of it so ANet probably shouldn't have fired those two, no matter how dumb they are online.

The first muscle queen vid was the best because of the hooker shoes she has on.  More of that plz.

You really think Assimilate would complain about “pointless misogyny?”

[VomKriege]

He was being about as polite as possible throughout the entire thing

given that this guy is apparently so big and influential and given that apparently he had so much respect for jessica before this interaction he could have done a ton to improve this situation by just saying "hey please don't fire people on my account"

and yet

Genuinely surprised at the consensus being on the side of the sane for once in that GW2 thread.  Though I'm many pages behind, so things could change.  Only now getting to Planetsmasher's lovely posts.

The narrative by now is full on "Gamergate harassed a woman and she was fired!! Fuck arenanet!!"

lol, this is an amazing attempt to rewrite history. I don't think there was any gamergate involvement on the subreddit when this started blowing up. People were pissed at ANet for a delayed, half assed update, and then one of their writers decides to act like a colossal dick to one of the nicest guys in the community. Especially ironic considering that Deroir said he looked up to Jessica only days before.

So about the GW2 writer being fired. Fuck that shit. I don't like it when SJWs do it on people with a more conservative opinion, but I sure as hell don't like it either when GG or alt-right/whatever do it either. The social mobia should cease to exist.

Any 2018 blaming of gamergate for accomplishing anything is rewriting history

There are still a handful of losers claiming to champion GG, sure, but they ain't doing shit

However it becomes a self-fulfilling thing when reset freaks out and says "GG DID THIS!! THEY GOT HER FIRED" and the gators are like "uhhh...we did?  Yeah, we did!" and they start to crow and take credit for it and now we have a cite-able reference for Something Gamer Gate Accomplished In 2018

The half dozen people circle-jerking on some subreddit are really excited to find out how they got some kind of cultural victory without having lifted a finger

[VomKriege]

Imagine a doctor or nurse calling their patient an asshat.
Imagine a pilot calling their passengers asshats.
Imagine if a teacher called your kids asshats.
Imagine a cashier, a waiter, etc.

How hard is it to not be a trashbag? If it bothers you when people give feedback, ignore/block and move on. You have the luxury to step away from the fucking computer for god’s sake. Not everyone has that privilege when dealing with customers or representing the company

.
How many doctors, pilots, teachers, cashiers, and waiters do you know that routinely receive death threats on the internet from their "fans" for such crimes as being female while working. This is false equivalency.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kotaku-gw2-writers-fired-after-twitter-argument-gg-pressured-firing.54044/page-20#post-10169879

I think there's a legitimate debate to have on whether this deserves a firing and expectations of representing your employer 24/7 but holy shit at the contorsions to absolve her are insane.

I think it's shit too but the problem is, presumably if you don't fire the person then you will get boycotted, possibly by a couple hundred thousand angry people on twitter, perhaps more if it makes the news

Like if you remember this girl who tweeted "Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!"  What would have happened if she'd kept her job as a PR exec?

I don't see how it directly relates though to most "social media" related firings.

She was literally discussing the company's product online with a Twitter that lists her as an employee.   So you really think that when that get's reported to the company; the company shouldn't do anything about it?  They shouldn't have the right to fire her over it? 

Honest questions;  I don't see how this is some solvable problem other than "don't be a fucking idiot online when representing your company."

I'm totally understanding of people being uncomfortable when someone goes "viral" for being a jackass in public, and that all gets linked to their real name, and then they get fired.  I do not understand people uncomfortable with this situation though; nor do I see how they really are that relatable.

Not only that, but the guy she went after (Deroir) is one of the few "big" media/content creator types in the community. He has a long standing good reputation in the community, is an official ArenaNet partner and even has an NPC named after him in the game. And she tried to label him a random sexist asshat. It is the equivalent of randomly attacking someone from another company which your employer is working with, and then cc'ing in your entire outlook contacts list to "burn" them. Just wouldn't fly anywhere.

Do anything can range from many things.

They could give the person that was called a sexist an exclusive limited package of GW2 or whatever. Gems too.

See, this is where they lose me with this shit. If a coder fucks up and you get your items taken and it takes days to get them back, you get a compensation, they don't necessarily fire the dev. There's a lot of ways for the company to acknowledge the fuck-up and not directly sacrifice the valid employee on his/her field.

i do miss old gaf moderation in times like this though. besada would leave that thread open, crack open  mountain dew, and ban through the night if thats what it took to stop gamergate.


edit:

The level of discourse in this thread has been frequently disappointing. It does not appear that it will be productive to continue at this juncture. If there are any major new developments feel free to create a new thread at that time.

Really though, I think reset staff imagine a future where they are respected by the gaming industry, so they imagine it's in their best interests not to be known as a website that disparages "the establishment", regardless of whether that disparagement is justified.
