Jim Ryan's email is like an early Christmas gift. Sony fanboy logic versus outrage fanboys, and outrage fanboys win out. 

The concern trolling about Starfield being delayed, completely trumped by Sony's president saying the dumbest shit imaginable.

I care less about Playstation being competitive than I do about the company learning a lesson and changing for the better long-term.

If they have to lose out on an investment opportunity to kick their shitty CEO out, I consider that acceptable losses. Bungie's female employees deserve better than being shackled to a crusted-up dinosaur like Jim.

[benjipwns]

I don't think the lesson Sony would take from Bungie backing out over this is "immediately fire any executive who sends an internal e-mail that upsets a crazy fringe" but that may just be me and PlanetSmasher may be much more informed.

I'm amazed some people are confused why people are upset about women being told they should respect the opinions of those who seek to take their rights from them.

They are not confused. They just don't want to say what they really think about the topic

Oh I know but they're being coy so I have to be a little more discrete than just @'ing them and telling them to shut the fuck up.

I hope the mods ban these people because it's exhausting

And honestly, I find it impossible to believe that someone is so empty-headed that they accidentally make a "know their place" comment in a statement where they're both-sidesing the curtailing of women's rights.

Dude is either an asshole or an idiot, but I'm leaning toward asshole because you don't get to be the CEO of a company as massive as Playstation while being stupid enough to make a mistake like this accidentally. It's not a "whoopsie!"

So glad I didn't buy any God of Wars after II, or a PS3, or a PS4, or a PS5, or a PSP, or a Vita and won't buy God of War (2018) on PC until its price is low enough right now.

You aren’t @‘ing them because you’re a fucking pussy, PlanetSmasher. We can all read what you’re saying, these aren’t private messages.

User Banned (Permanent): Concern trolling with regards to reproductive health and bodily autonomy

I'm shocked that some people don't realize that a lot of people are religious and don't believe in abortion especially at a large company like Sony. He should have said as a company we believe a woman has a right to choose but we also want people to respect other's opinion. This idea that everyone feels the same at a company is ridiculous now people are calling him a racist wtf !? Republicans have made everyone extreme overnight Jimbo screwed up by not having a full fledged statement but the overreaction is fucking stunning.

[benjipwns]

Aw yeah, we have officially have a sensitive thread:

User Banned (Duration Pending): Trolling in a sensitive thread regarding reproductive rights

Yeah Jim Ryan should be demanding all employees to be super vocal about their support or opposition to Roe v wade. I can't see how that would backfire in any way

User Banned (Permanent): Drive by trolling in a sensitive thread regarding reproductive rights, numerous severe infractions

Sony is a public company. Board could try to force him out over shit like this.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Trolling in a sensitive thread regarding reproductive rights

Unless I'm misunderstanding the article, email says something like "hey, some people are pro abortion, others against it, we gotta live with each other. btw, my cat's birthday was a lot of fun!"
This is outrage worthy?

User Banned (1 Week): Console warring in a sensitive thread

and people will still tell you Jim Ryan has a plan for PlayStation and he knows what he's doing with a straight face after reading this absolute nonsense email.

I'm no longer chalking up the fact that they have 0 major 1st party game announcements in 8 months and none with release dates to COVID or "they're waiting for the right time to do a big show!!", this guy is fucking clueless and inept.

Get him out. out out out out out out.

[Uncle]

They're always so angry about things that have no affect on their lives. It's very strange.

everything affects everyone's lives

if I refuse to chime in with sufficient support for a Sony boycott, it may be enough to tip the scale to leave the boycott organizer distraught that her movement is not seeing widespread acceptance, causing her to give up and move to Canada where they still respect reproductive rights, and the lack of her presence means the CVS where she works has to close an hour early, which means a trucker who was going to buy a 5 Hour Energy there will be delayed from his purchase, and he will fall asleep at the wheel, and run you over

now you are dead because I didn't agree to boycott Sony, I hope you are happy

A key part of the first game’s themes was that each of the characters was a survivor of trauma and had to process that. Specifically with an emphasis on survivor’s guilt in Cal’s case. Guessing they’re doubling down.

Actually, a key part of the first game’s themes was throwing fools off cliffs using my made up mind powers, and bonking them with my glowy baseball bat. Hope they double down on that.

In this specific situation I think that's kinda immature.

I understand the sentiment. But a positive message in support of women's reproductive rights really conveys the message we should be sending. In my humble opinion, of course.

Abortion rights is a serious issue. JIm's comments are being taken as stealth support. Women are dying because of the continuous push to strip them of their reproductive rights.

Saying "Fuck Jim Ryan" is immature, is perhaps the wrong choice of words. But I do think it misses the opportunity to send a much more meaningful message.

Just my two cents.

There is no neutrality, when you say it's ok to respect people who are agaist it, it's like saying it's ok for people to control my body

So in other words because they don't agree with you, they're the enemy. Got it.

Again, I'm not an advocate in making abortion illegal but I can respect both sides, as I can with most things in life. I've pretty much had to come to live like that in the modern society and workplace.

My favorite ResetERA.com conspiracy theory has always been the one where they assume every "troll" is actually another prominent member using an alt to avoid getting banned for sharing their true problematic opinions that they can no longer hold in.

Dude is an old white CEO. It would be more surprising if he WASN'T a giant sack of shit.

Forgot he's a cishet man too.

[Taco Bell Tower]

Jim Ryan was always an idiot, god knows how they chose him over Shawn Layden... in fact, Shawn Layden leaving Playstation after Jim Ryan was elected as CEO should have tell us everything we need to know. Jim Ryan is one of the reasons I waited to get a PS5 (although eventually will probably get one) and got a Series X first.

Fuck Jimbo Ryan but gonna get a PS5!

[Straight Edge]

Funny how they keep referring to "women's rights" when some men have uteruses too. Somehow I thought they'd be more progressive than that.

[benjipwns]

Sony should fire Jim Ryan into the sun and then demand all their employees fill out a survey on their abortion views and anyone who is wrong gets their assed canned immediately and hit with a hostile workplace lawsuit. Until they do the price I'm willing to pay for God of War (2018) on Steam drops by the moment.

Again living in China, if I wrote on a Chinese board I think the government is wrong and we should give protection to the rights of the unborn I'd have my account deleted. Writing even less on Resetera (ie 'people should respect each other's opinions on the issue') has led other users to a ban on here. I don't mind people discussing it, like if I say something and then twenty people tell me I'm wrong or they disagree or even tell me to fuck off is actually a healthy discusion. But the moderators clamping down because you don't follow the party line just means this place will become (or has already become) a bubble of like minded people

Resetera, officially more oppressive than the People's Republic of China.
