It makes sense that of all the different versions of GAF and RE, it's newly-alt-right-GAF that does it.

Watching the ArenaNet stuff morph from ‘person goes off on a customer over social media’ into ‘Gamergate harass a poor woman out of the industry’ has been interesting. The truth is like a skin to be peeled off and thrown away.

[Tuckers Law]

Makes perfect sense that Anita would worm herself into the conversation once the reees and their ilk on twitter were screeching that there was gamergate involvement, after all she's the yin to the gamergate yang of attempting to steal an unrelated spotlight with little-to-no connection and make it all about themselves.

Not to give credence to the latter but it's not mutually exclusive. Mobs by definition are hard to define, and there's certainly a tendency for fandoms to form those online and for many fanboys to exhibit reactionary and nostalgic kneejerks including against any form of artistic and thus casting diversity.

But yeah nuance is often the first victim of those debates.

If the Republicans have switched pay-masters to the Russians, then the US companies no longer have any influence. It seems like they've already bought out the NRA.

Yes, a country with a GDP lower than most of individual major EU states is totally able to wrestle total financial control of the whole political class from some of the wealthiest capitalists in the world, who have never been shy with their contributions, in a system very lenient on private financing for parties and candidates.

For any Trump supporters reading this: FYI the US and Russia have never been particularly good friends, other than a short stint in WW2.

Of course Trump is too dumb to know this.

Can we just lock them up already? Screw impeachment, screw procedure, and screw the court that was formed in Trump's favor.

I just want the FBI to cut to the chase and get these GOPigs out of power now.

The only way to prevent the Coup is to execute our Coup earlier.

People just need to put pitchforks away, all around. The ArenaNet woman screwed up in a way that could be fireable offense at a lot of companies, but she also didn't necessarily need to be fired. A reprimand would probably have been fine. But because there was a mob (not Gamergate before the firing, mind you, but a mob nonetheless), the company couldn't really afford to not fire her. But that mob didn't need to form. The attacked dude could have reported it to the company as an individual complaint, and the company could have handled it in a proportional way. But because thousands of people got offended on his behalf, firing her was the only reasonable solution.

Stop forming mobs, people. If someone wrongs someone else, let the wronged handle it. You don't need to rally behind that person like you were all attacked. Only that guy was.

Why are you even mentioning all this crap regarding this particular incident? Obnoxious bitch that has been fired before for being an obnoxious bitch acted like an obnoxious bitch against a customer that was extremely polite to her and got fired, that is the real story here. Why the fuck you people decided to give even an inch to these SJW distinguished mentally-challenged fellows regarding this subject I have no fucking idea. I mean I suspect why but still.

I feel that if she had agreed to publicly apologize she should have been able to keep her job. I doubt she would have been willing though, because her victim complex seems too strong and she doesn't strike me as capable of seeing that she was in the wrong.

[Optimus]

For the record that piece of shit was celebrating TB's death along with the rest of the SJW scum.





Funny how the same hypocrites that talk about against "freedom from consequences" defend scum like her that celebrate and brag about a young man dying from cancer and all this because he disagreed with them.

Want proof that gamergate is vastly morally superior compared to these subhumans? Just look at their reaction at TB's death despite the fact that a few months ago TB was shitting on them publicly. The thread about TB on KiA was full of people offering condelences, I don't think even one comment was negative and the ones that talked about TB's disagreement with GG were all pointing out that it doesn't matter and that he was still a great person.

[Kurt Russell]

In this case it is. The artist formerly known as Gamergate had nothing to do with this shitshow.

Maybe. Her account suggests she was just fired, though, and not offered any form of apology ultimatum. That also seems like the most prudent move for the company once the mob has formed. It would have been too costly to keep her on at that point.

Either way, my point is that she screwed up, and the attacked party should have filed an individual complaint and allowed the company to handle the behavior without the pressure of a mob breathing down their necks. She was a jerk, and may have ended up getting fired even without the mob, but I'm almost always going to oppose a mob calling for someone to get fired for a screw-up. The only exception would be something like a Harvey Weinstein situation, and even then, I think a whole lot of evidence needs to come to light before public backlash costs someone their job.

Ultimately the problem was that many of the usual suspects began propping up the erroneous argument that she was the one who was first attacked and wronged.  Factual reality has no place for these kinds of people, and it does a disservice to the causes they always claim to champion.

Yeah, and her retweeting his message to broadcast to her numerous followers how sexist he was probably didn't help keep a mob from forming. I mean, no doubt that nearly the entire situation was her own orchestration. Even still, I will almost always discourage mobs from forming and calling for someone's job, even when I agree with the mob. It's like vigilante justice: even if it would occasionally be helpful, it's so prone to abuse and misuse that it's a concept that needs to be rejected outright. Same thing with mobs: while they occasionally will reach a "correct" outcome, when they miss, they miss hard, and people get hurt. So mob justice should almost always be rejected.

[Uncle]

The problem with anonymous mobs/internet groups like GG is that at a certain point any group activity that looks like something that group would do is going to be attributed to that group

"Gamergate did this," because Gamergate did superficially similar things in the past, and if you were to examine everyone who took part and discovered that few if any had a history or harbored misogynistic thoughts and tweets, then you'd hear how they were sleeper agents or created that account just to take part in this attack or other nonsense

Even if no one was Gamergate, the fact that some of the rhetoric might seem similar and that the outcome was the same means that no actually everything was Gamergate

If there was neither party would gain anything from making it public.

But yeah, mobs are dumb. I can't recall any specific time i've called for someone to get fired over some dumb shit they said. In fact, my second or third post on NeoGaf was defending Phil Fish after he said that Japanese games are starting to get sucky, and everyone was calling him a racist.

Honestly I feel vindicated, mostly to myself. I often exaggerate against people I heavily dislike and there's always some doubt in my mind about the things I assume about them. Their absolutely disgusting response to TB's death and the silence from the rest of these scumbags for the terrible things that were said confirms even the worst suspicions I had about them. They're all human trash. They're still posting articles smearing TB btw, I just read a new one today.

I haven't listened to the Giantbomb podcast yet, but they've gotten pretty terrible. I had a glimmer of hope that they would ignore topics like the arenanet thing. Especially since they never once mentioned Guild Wars in the past. I really don't need Jeff's uninformed hot take on the situation.

Yeah, it's tough to defend people you dislike, just to support a principle. I was actually going to bat for Lime of all people in PM's back when they were stripped of thread posting privileges with no warning. As much as I liked the idea of Lime not posting any more threads, I thought the staff was going about it the wrong way, and criticized them for it. Didn't change anything, of course. And this ArenaNet situation is another example. My gut instinct when reading what she said and that she was fired is "Good!" But then I realize that it's an instance of mob justice, and I have to push back against it.

The ArenaNet woman screwed up in a way that could be fireable offense at a lot of companies, but she also didn't necessarily need to be fired. A reprimand would probably have been fine.

You're probably right. And I wouldn't/don't have any problem with her being fired. I just don't like the mob being part of the equation. What I want on her supervisor's desk is "We have a complaint from a customer; this is what she said." Instead, on their desk was, "We have a complaint, this is what she said, and there are 3,000 customers who are all calling for her to be fired, threatening to stop supporting us if we don't."

You missed my point entirely, which I explained in all my other posts. I'm not criticizing ArenaNet; I even said that after the mob formed, they really didn't have any other reasonable response. Yeah, maybe a reprimand would have been enough, and maybe not. Maybe they would have fired her without the mob. But I don't want a mob to decide it. I want the company to be able to handle it without the threat of a mob influencing how they assess the situation. It should just be her supervisor assessing her behavior. And if that results in a firing, that's fine. She was a total jerk to the customer.

A mob catstrophizing and drawing attention to stuff that triggers them is basically how you get someone fired for social media posts though....

And honestly if what she said in her interviews is even partially true, that the company knew of her outspokenness on issues when they hired her, and even encouraged it, encouraged her and others to speak out and was completely ok with her social media behavior up until that point, it seems pretty likely the CEO was bending to the mob. Or at least his perception of it.

Given the frequency of unhinged responses like yours, I’m more than inclined to believe she probably does experience quite a lot in her online life that has led her to having a short trigger in perceiving things through a lens of misogyny. Even if in this case it seemingly was misguided and in that misguidedness was pounced on by people like you that relish in seeing punishment handed out to people found guilty of wrong-think.

But honestly, this is probably my monthly limit for this cess pool of a thread, TVC’s collection of fart videos would be an improvement to this dumpster fire.

yes i too have some concerns as to whether kris van assche can appropriately follow haider ackermann's luxe-vampire aesthetic successfully but i feel that since van assche has left dior homme and his own namesake label is closed his attention will be 100% focused on providing excessively priced leather shoes, accessories and ready to wear goods.

I mean it's hard to ascribe "intent" to the bunch of people who think Price fucked up. Sure, some people were saying "i'm going to boycott unless you fire her", but most of them were just saying how much they disagreed with her for saying what she did. The mob wasn't "whipped up", it was people hearing about what had happened and genuinely thinking the story was worth weighing in on.

The only reason this came back on ArenaNet is because it was her talking about the work she did on the story design that started the twitter fiasco, thus tying their reputation as a company to her words.
