Yeah, to what end, though? Regardless of her absolute power, she's fired and will remain fired.

It bothers me because I hate sexism, I want equality, but I also hate dishonesty, manipulation and absolutely tribalism. Tribalism is so fucking bad.

So when I see a situation like this with Price, and I see these sites lying about it, basically spreading propaganda. And slandering gamers. You know, I'm sick of being called a nazi. And a racist. And a sexist. I'm really sick of it. I'm sick of these terms being diluted down into buzzwords to use as a cudgel to beat away any valid criticism, to stave off having to own up to faults, at the expense of their real meaning and impact.

I'm sick of how stupid and gullible people are being on the internet because like a magnet it draws these types of scummy liars, these charlatans that will exploit them for it. If there's a large enough audience base to manipulate by waving a feminist flag, it will draw in manipulators who'll set everything back for everyone just for their own ends. And so many feminists keep digging in their heels and fighting for the most unworthy people possible, at their own expense.

And it's not just Price and random people on twitter, since it's also news sites, with a lot of power to influence people, and it's also various developers as well, and people involved in teaching. In that Polygon article even it's outright stated there's already coordination going on to try and hurt ANet as retribution over this. So it's not like there's 0 consequences for standing up to Price in this case.

It wouldn't surprise me if the streamer she lashed out at that sparked all this has been harassed over it as well since it's not like one side has a monopoly on that kind of abusive behavior and in the eyes of extremists he'll be seen as the catalyst for it all.
