Just fire up the old google and type in "fart fetish videos"

I don’t want to end up liking it. If you see me with a murder-victim avatar, you know I’ve gone too far.

I know this is a sad occasion for all of us, but if it makes anyone feel better, I still have several hundred incredibly detailed stories about my slutty days in the 70s and early 80s.

I'm drinking buddies with the sys admins and network/firewall people, I used to be one of them myself. I moved to development to be a lazy fuck.

Sys admins always have the best stories.
One of them told me that my boss had a huge bondage porn folder on his work laptop.

When I was starting off my work life I was desktop support. One day a call came in for a guy needing an office install, we had a ticketing system and everyone was avoiding this ticket and it was about to go out of SLA so I took it and went out disc in hand.

When I got there the dude wasnt in but the door was open so I went in. I walked in an gagged as the office walls were plastered with centerfolds and naked girls of all sorts and the air had a strong eau de cum stench. I dropped the disc and ran back to my desk grasping my pearls and when I came in the other guys just laughed. They knew obviously.

Apparently this guy was disgruntled but for some politics reason they couldnt fire him. I later found out he called to say someone dropped a disc and they could come collect it, I moved companies 2 weeks later.

I had a friend who worked as a "computer programmer" for the FAA and he literally did nothing all day.  When I say nothing, I mean nothing.  No work at all.  For 2 years.  He couldn't stand it and left.  So, I guess what I'm saying is: I believe you.

The worst thing I've heard about where I am is a dude peeing in his office plant.  Suddenly that doesn't sound so bad.

At my previous sub-basement sweatshopjob there was a lady who worked in HR that was morbidly obese and had trouble moving around.  She would always wear these big, long dresses.  The reason I mention this is because there were several incidents reported of someone shitting on the floor.  And they knew who it was, too, because each time this happened...the ends of those long dresses were covered in shit and she didn't realize it.  :yuck  She was often the one reporting this, too, pretending that it wasn't her.  It usually happened in the restroom but one time it happened on the carpet in the lobby.  They had to close the place down and get professionals in to clean it.

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.



lol they knew she's a dumb cunt that celebrates cancer victims' death and accuses customers of sexism for daring to offer polite constructive criticism? Thankfully the developer and developers like them will think twice now before hiring these fucking lunatics.

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.

Well, is good that everyone here has expressed dislike of Assimilate, so the ratio of Assimilates like people probably is not as big as you perceived given you have a tolerance limit of this thread.

She probably gets harassed by Assimilates in twitter and probably was encouraged at the beginning by the company, but I also guess she was probably told to control herself given that TB comment.

Jesus Christ, Leigh Alexander is a despicable cunt.


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 can't really disagree;  between that and the ridiculously disengenous tweet from Anita about the ArenaNet situation these people are fucking killing me.

Anita has always been like that, disingenuous and opportunistic. It would have not been as bad if people were more critical of her videos rather than bitch about misogynistic trolls or whatever she was scamming people.

Or at least his perception of it.

if what she said in her interviews - Allison Rapp
if what she said in her interviews - Brianna Wu
if what she said in her interviews - Etc, Etc, Etc

How many infractions did she have with the company before this incident?
How many warnings did she have for her behavior on the internet?
How on Earth is it pretty likely the CEO was bending to the mod?
Are you having sex with the person in their HR department?
How are you not posting on Reeeeeee? You are like their poster child for defending the indefensible.

Now feel free and call me a Nazi.

The CEO was asked to respond to the interview in question and all he responded with was to return an email from their PR department that basically was a "No comment, please read our PR response."

The PR response was "They were fired for attacking the community."

There is no evidence that there was any sort of HR process, past infractions, etc. and when asked to clarify the company basically refused to say anything other than they were fired for the tweets.

If she had lied during the interview I doubt they would have let that fly.  Although I do think the "I talked to them about my social media advocay during my interview" is a really weak point;  that doesn't mean they knew she was a total dick to people about video game narratives or that she would say shit like she was happy someone was dead.

no evidence other than her being fired from Paizo for the same thing you mean?

So the new standard some (including the gaming press) want is that you should say whatever you want on social media without consequence because something something alt-right trolls may take credit?

I mean, it's a pretty damn convenient excuse to be an asshole on social media and not have to worry about any blow back on your personal or professional life. Of course, this new standard is for only a select few. Try to apply this standard outside of progressive circles and watch how quick they change attitude and are all for your words on social media affecting your life offline.

TVC is at his/her best when sticking with the grizzly stuff and serial killers. More guy committing suicide by a bandsaw, less of the fart humor.

The prudes of the forum find both distasteful and say so, but when I post that shit they performatively post about how they’re concerned for me, flapping about like paid grievers at a Chinese funeral. They’re such phony pieces of shit.

Anyway, that stuff typically comes when I have too much free time and indulge my worst interests out of boredom. Farts come when I don’t want to or can’t put in any effort. Rubber, latex, and dirty feet come when I need to cum.

My only comment: be mindfull of the thumbnails for the videos.  I don't browse this thread assuming a giant cottage cheesed ass in a g-string is going to show up in the thread.   It's not my prudeness I'm worried about but passerbys when I'm at work.  I do my best with an adblock filter that blocks out images but I haven't tweaked it to block out YouTube embeds.

Thanks bb.

Apologies. The first one I posted was benign, like a camera pointed at the floor, but as things escalated, I found myself searching for things like “wet thong farts” and wasn’t even considering the thumbnails.

Looked like she got a pretty low number of retweets and likes, so I think her time in the spotlight is pretty well over.  I can't remember the last time anyone mentioned her apart from last year when she acted like a legit cunt at Vidcon and verbally blasted some of her critics sitting in the audience, who had done nothing, and then screamed at Boogie for having the audacity to disagree with her and make a positive comment to end the panel.  And this was at a panel against cyber-bullying.  Fucking crazy, hypocritical asshole.

When she first got into that whole gaming shtick, she to me felt like a professional polemic with little knowledge of the things she shits on. Hence I tried not to pay attention to her straight from the start, I just noticed loonies like bish going on banning sprees against "anti anita" dogwhistlers on RE1.0. - which didn't make her or her fellowship look any more worth listening to.  :doge

My neogaf permaban was after like 6 posts. 5 of them were me asking for one of those Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate codes. The one that got me banned was posting a picture of her in a thread called "The Most Annoying Character in Gaming."

My plan was quoting the people that'd pretend to be disgusted by that post after that, but I was already banned.

I don't know if she did but she should have branched to actual academics as a career considering she had a couple of speeches in that context (and after checking wiki, has a degree). I'm not sure she had the skills / chops to do so, from the little I have seen of her work, but well you can always learn.

Still would, tho.

This isn’t exclusive to the gaming press or the left. Hardly. Quite a few publications(and by that I mean every single conservative outlet) and samples of the same groups cheering on this firing get all pissy about people in the tech industry being fired for perceived misogyny, a certain James Damore comes to mind. Or ones where the stakes really are different like the Nazi with the security clearance.

A not insignificant chunk of the population would love disproportionate standards to only be applied to the group’s they think should be punished for their speech. But will cry foul the moment it is wielded in their direction....which is probably basic human nature.

Personally I’d just settle on the imperfect balance of improving labor rights and if that lets a few Jessica’s say some dumb shit every now and then, or some closet Nazi troll the libs with some racism, at least they have more than mob pressure getting them fired, and less excuses if the processes were followed to claim victim.

Most of the internet culture wars are hypocritical performative bullshit. That's why you see a whole bunch of right wingers cry racism and bigotry when white people are even mildly attacked but turn into free speech absolutists when it comes to expressing their own bigotry.

Case in point, some guy made a honeypot for the entire chud constituency on Reddit to brigade, and then btfo'd them

So the new standard some (including the gaming press) want is that you should say whatever you want on social media without consequence because something something alt-right trolls may take credit?

I mean, it's a pretty damn convenient excuse to be an asshole on social media and not have to worry about any blow back on your personal or professional life. Of course, this new standard is for only a select few. Try to apply this standard outside of progressive circles and watch how quick they change attitude and are all for your words on social media affecting your life offline.

This isn’t exclusive to the gaming press or the left. Hardly. Quite a few publications(and by that I mean every single conservative outlet) and samples of the same groups cheering on this firing get all pissy about people in the tech industry being fired for perceived misogyny, a certain James Damore comes to mind. Or ones where the stakes really are different like the Nazi with the security clearance.

A not insignificant chunk of the population would love disproportionate standards to only be applied to the group’s they think should be punished for their speech. But will cry foul the moment it is wielded in their direction....which is probably basic human nature.

Personally I’d just settle on the imperfect balance of improving labor rights and if that lets a few Jessica’s say some dumb shit every now and then, or some closet Nazi troll the libs with some racism, at least they have more than mob pressure getting them fired, and less excuses if the processes were followed to claim victim.

How about we just fire people for being a dick on social media if they support the idea of firing people for being a dick on social media?

If one of my employees was being a dick to customers who didn't deserve a shitty attitude, I'd fire them regardless of their non-related beliefs of labor rights or 1st amendment rights. I would just frame the firing in a more neutral way publically, cause that's what PR should be doing.

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

(Image removed from quote.)



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.
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.

So, is "It's Twitter, she should have expected this since it's a public site" the internet version of "she was asking for it"?

Quote from: Khanimus
Here's a secret about how misogyny and harassment works...

It doesn't matter whether women are nice or not.

Someone linked to some Twitter feed promising a comprehensive breakdown on the whole thing and it summed up the guy's entire chain of posts as "I'm an asshat I'll tell you how to do your job." I feel like the handling of this is too disingenuous for even Ree to brush over.

Price is doubling down on her shit as well.

You can respond if you want, but I've got any notifications from people I don't follow muted, and I'm not going to check responses. If you're a legit industry/press person and want to get in contact, we have mutual networks through which you can do that.

Much of the narrative around this has been around 1) that I was fired; and 2) whether there was warning/discussion.

That's missing a big portion of this. So let's talk about not how I was fired, but how it was announced.

The announcement was an escalation. The company could have chosen to say "their remarks don't represent the company, we don't agree with what they said, and they're no longer with the company."

That's not what they did. They framed an interaction on my personal social media in which I told a few individuals who (I thought) were being assholes that I wasn't on the clock and wasn't going to feign affection for people who are being assholes as "attacks on the community."

They knew--or at least had a responsibility to know, in 2018--what would happen to a female game dev who was fired in response to an exchange about sexism. It would have been bad enough if they had just fired me and announced I was fired.

But they escalated. They pointed to Peter and me as Enemies Of The Community. That wasn't just firing us and, oh well, if they get harassed, them's the breaks. That was active solicitation of harassment.

ArenaNet actively solicited people to harass her, and should have known that in CURRENT_YEAR that you can't just fire a woman who sees sexism in EVERY INTERACTION ONLINE.


Quote
Oh, one more thing. Mike O'Brien's most recent statement reduces my contribution to GW2 to one scene from one episode. Given how often women's work is erased or minimized, that's especially egregious. So, for the record:

Everything in GW2 is made by a team. There's no content that's made by one person. But in terms of influence: the entire season is mine. I led the season story breaking meetings, I led the episode outlining meetings, and every line of dialogue went through me.

Everything you've seen of the story so far this season is my work, and you're going to be seeing my work in it for a long time.

She's fucking insane. ArenaNet is lucky to have had the opportunity to fire her.
