Good job Arenanet
---

That one post was made by a dumbass

The devs absolutely deserved to be fired
---

oh no some dumbass on reddit made a dumb post because a different dumbass decided to get herself fired

the horror
---

The fact that employee was a flaming sexist had nothing to do with it

ugh. It is just a dumb post. The lady who got fired did it herself. She is no victim.

yes reddit is garbage we all know

This. All you need to do is look at this profile pic. >_>

Actually, looking at this dude's tweets and retweets, it's a goldmine of cringe lol.

I mean, the firing is justified for sure, but... how exactly do you figure she deserves jail? Stupidity isn't a crime.

People are literally reading that post and thinking it was sincerely someone expressing how they feel.

Which means one of two things: feminists taking it seriously lack even the most basic of critical thinking capabilities, or they're knowingly lying.

I'd settle for stupidity being moddable on gamefaqs.

There's the post with more information.

Now google that user's username.

You'll find a topic they responded to in their posting history on another reddit board angry about his comment, and in response to being told to "suck a dick" he responded:

Yeah fair enough. That was an inexcusable post so whatever, I'm shit. I'm not going to justify myself or anything, because there's nothing to justify or explain.

Either way, if you wanna continue finding out more horrible things about the GW2 communities relationship with the developers, here's another questionable tidbit from the subreddit. It's not hard to figure out why the post was made.

They've always been like this, they've always been trying to bite at the heels of the devs, often for reasons unrelated to the game. And there's been more than once that Arenanet has bent to the will of reddit.

So, there's some fun little context to the contextless post being spread around used as ammo to condemn the entire community and do the usual feminist bullshit of trying to throw up a smokescreen and deflect by portraying all criticism and detractors as cartoonish manchildren hitlers.

Anyone with basic reading comprehension and not burdened with an agenda blinding them from nuance could already figure out that trying to use that post as a smoking gun "look see they're all the bad guys" is fucking stupid, but for those who just need all the help in the world, enjoy that context.

Not only are they not literally running it, i wouldn't be surprised if they literally couldn't run.

Agree completely.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

honestly they should've just let her go without telling anyone, by putting it out there they've emboldened idiots like this

SJWs always lie.

These were just troll posts, why SJWs take them seriously?

Same reason there are so many hoax hate crimes. They need them in order to promote their agenda.

who would've guessed a blue hair dude would be an idiot

Anet was ran by "fans" since they killed their competitive game to Cator to pve carebares like a decade ago. They listen to whoever whines the loudest.
