Yes, needing to attend to ailing family members was clearly a smokescreen. Microsoft forced her out due to Halo’s development problems being hers and hers alone, just like how Disney is about to force Kathleen Kennedy out due to everything wrong with Star Wars being her fault. No, it’s not telling that women in leadership roles in male-dominated entertainment fields always seem to end up with weird targets on their backs from internet nerds!

Can we not.

 

Also, is funny because you guys were openly insulting assholes like Jim Ryan and Zaslav, but somehow women executives got it worse and deserve respect.

[clothedmacuser]

It is a turn of phrase with a long tradition, spun from corporate boardrooms in all seeming sincerity — no winks, no nods — just the sober announcement.

“Dear shareholder and John Q. Public: our trusted executive is resigning to spend more time with family.”

Sometimes it is actually true. The family tug is strong, especially this time of year. But with large severance packages and corporate images frequently at stake, more often than not the phrase is part of a carefully scripted termination agreement, filled with nondisparagement and confidentiality clauses.

“There are two code expressions: One is the ‘spending more time with your family’ line and the other is ‘leaving to pursue other interests,’ ” said Hal Reiter, chairman and chief executive of Herbert Mines Associates, an executive recruiting firm in New York. “But who are they kidding?”

These people love to say how they don't fall for corporate shenanigans, yet any entertainment of the notion that Bonnie Ross may not have left for all the reasons given in a blatant face saving PR statement is angrily swept aside. And we all know the reason why they so strongly resist any other notion than the face saving one. They think her getting fired after years of driving 343 Studios into the ditch would be a "win" for the "gamer chuds" they hate oh so much.

[Boredfrom]

Most of RE are thirty year olds that know corpo speak because that is how usually get around a humiliating shit can, why they pretending that is out of the realm of possibility that Bonnie Ross is just saying “family emergency made me quit faster” an an excuse is mind blowing. She should have been fired since the MCC shit show and somehow endured until now but is “inappropriate” to suggest that a big corporation and a executive are not entirely honest about why she is quitting.

Yes, is too bad if she has a real family emergency, but why I should act like a give a shit beyond that? This is the forum that loves grave dancing political figures and celebrities that they hate, but doubting a corpo executive reason to leave her job is suddenly inhumane and bad taste.

Is obvious to me that leakers have “lifespans” (how long before their friends at companies get kicked out or stop talking to them). I think some people at RE can treat leakers unfairly but also is clear that most of RE treats them like gods until they start getting stuff wrong.

The only real leaker that started to rub me the wrong way is Dusk Golem because how self destructive he is and how is willing to throw his sources under the buss because he really wants the internet asspat points.

Pretty sure that applies to everything on the internet.

How you cut through the crap is what matters, and how easy the search engine makes it. TikTok could certainly do a lot to make that part better and to protect users from misinformation, but I can totally understand why it's becoming a preferred method for some people.

As for Metroid Prime Remake, he's checked yet again, he's still under the assumption that it's coming out this holiday

sure jan... errmm jeff

he himself, is speculating that the Switch Pro (if it's a thing AGAIN this is a GUESS) would be 2023. This could explain a lot of Nintendo's weirdness regarding announcing games because this would mean they're probably still trying to figure out what's next

What 'weirdness', Nintendo announced Fire Emblem: Engage(January), Kirby's Return to Dream Land(February), Zelda's title and release date(May) and Pikmin 4 bub

Nintendo probably wanted BOTW2's title reveal to be a big moment and not have anything bad surrounding that announcement.

It really isn’t. Most of the hangups with TikTok are grounded in xenophobia, full stop.* TikTok has a faster “zero to white supremacy” meter, if you will, than many other platforms just due to the way shorter content functions and webs out, but TikTok is otherwise not that different. There’s bullshit there but also plenty of helpful communities and folks. Neurodivergent communities are thriving on TikTok and the platform is also helping with organizers in the labor movement.

It’s like any other platform. There’s good and there’s bad and we need to make sure people learn to tell the difference.

Could the platform do more? Sure. But again that’s all platforms.

Every social media creator is just “some dude” until they build a following.

*if you compare most of the security concerns people talk about because TikTok is Chinese, they also apply to other SM platforms, but the same techniques are more alarming because China. There are some more legit concerns, but not what most people talk about.

What the hell are you even insinuating? I'm comparing it to an actual google search, which will provide you with actual news sources and scholarly work. Meanwhile tictok, like twitter and youtube, is filled with influencers looking to make a name for themselves. So fuck off with your shitty accusations. Don't use social media to do actual research.

I’d love to hear what you think I was insinuating. You think I’m calling you xenophobic? Nah. I will, however, make the argument that xenophobia is a thread that wends through much of TikTok criticism and many don’t even realize when they parrot it. So if you want something clear, I’d tell you that maybe you should slow your roll before criticizing a platform whose name you can’t even render correctly, because it makes you look like an uninformed old man yelling at clouds. But you’d probably just tell me to fuck off again.
So no, I didn’t call you xenophobic. I don’t usually bother insinuating. I simply say it if I think it is the case.

You know well what you did, and what you continually do what with your petty snipes and barbs. I'll be taking my own advice and putting your horrible self on ignore. Good bye forever.

Opposing views on things like human rights and politics (which largely boil down to human rights) do not constitute a "difference of opinion". Someone liking strawberry ice cream while I don't is a difference of opinion.

Thinking that some people are "less than" because they are gay, trans, non-white, etc, or that people don't deserve basic medical care because they are poor are not "opinions" that deserve to be entertained or respected, and the people who view the world like this deserve to get dragged for it.

I like the elasticity he shows in the very first sentence. Views on human rights aren't opinions, how do you know which views are about human rights? Everything is.

Then in the second paragraph he starts imputing motives, that certain views show evidence of thinking others are "less than", views I'm sure are not simply any view he disagrees with.

And then from there he's taken an extra step into his requirements for acceptable discourse, he's demanding others have a duty to not only research his own views on "human rights", but all other persons entire set of views and then from there also determine their unspoken motives all to ensure that these people who hold non-opinions are never platformed.

Just to make clear, Kekistan (an obvious mashup of kek and -istan countries, nothing "white supremacist" or "alt-right") existed for at least an entire year before Sargon discovered it:

On 4chan, the name "Kekistan" has been suggested for various imaginary geographic locations many times since as early as December 2015, when a flag with the filename "kekistan.jpg" was submitted to the /int/ (international) board.[7] On December 14th, 2016, a thread regarding buying an island in the Caribbean was submitted to /pol/, to which several users suggested the land be named "Kekistan" (shown below).[6]

On January 30th, 2017, YouTuber Sargon_of_Akkad tweeted that "shitposters meet the British govs criteria of an ethnicity," claiming he would register the group on the British census (shown below, left).[9] After asking followers what the ethnicity should be named, he settled on "Kekistani," describing the fictional group as a "disparate and dispossessed people"
