Current Events > Arenanet publisher of Guild Wars just fired 2 lead writers of over a decade

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like how someone correcting misinformation and plainly explaining what actually happened was banned for spreading "misinformation"

I miss when people on the left wanted to actually be the side of facts and logic.

You know, if they keep banning people like that for such minor posts, who will be left in a few months?

I guess only the sycophants who agree with a very specific line of thought.

I wonder which is worse. Resetera or Gamerghazi.

Can we please not quote that resetera image when responding to it?

Same people.

Note that this is the fourth thread on the subject. The REEEsetEra mods closed the previous three because people kept saying Price was in the wrong. In this fourth thread they pretty much just outright stated in the OP that saying Price was in the wrong is against the rules.

holy shit that image is huge

Resetera seems worse based off what I've seen of both. I saw people on Ghazi who weren't buying into Price's BS and at the very least they hadn't been nuked yet. Meanwhile you have someone in that image being banned while saying things like how pathetic Gamergators are.

When you're reflexively bashing Gamergate and still banned for not being hardline enough feminist, it's like welp.

What always strikes me about these militant extremists in feminism is, how do they not have that moment. You know, the "are we the baddies?" moment.

Sitting there, lying, silencing dissent, spreading propaganda, using gendered and sexist insults to demean and belittle men, sipping from cups labeled "male tears" and tweeting "kill all men"

Need to wake up, look around and start wondering, "Are we the baddies?"

Fair. There probably is a lot of overlap.

Assuming truth, how does that relate to firing someone for denegrading and insulting the community that spends money on the stuff she's employed to make?

Should we not fire unprofessional asshats because people on the internet might respond weirdly?

Also why are we pretending this is a one-way street. I distinctly remember some people in the SJW community trying to get youtuber Thunderf00t fired for "being a nazi" a few years ago and that being lauded. Certainly the people involved are still darlings of the youtube social justice movement.

It means that the outrage and complaints weren't even from players or even humans who would potentially stop using the company's games. Could be a few hundred, could be a few dozen and several set up the bots to spam the company.

And nazism is indefensible, and several magnitudes worse than a developer getting snarky at people who assumed she didn't know the basics of her job because she's a woman. Comparing the two is not exactly the best comparison.

1) Thunderf00t isn't a Nazi.
2) Nobody said Price didn't know the basics of her job.
3) Nobody had a problem with Price for having a vagina.
4) Your link is fake. I don't have any pictures to prove it, but neither does that guy you linked.

It's just a troll, dont try to reason or argue with it.

You know, all those instances of crying 'false narrative', 'false narrative' start to sound a bit like 'fake news', 'fake news' after a while.

Only in this case the false narrative/fake news is that Price's firing was in any way motivated by her sex. It's an open and shut case of 'be a toxic asshole to our customers, get fired'.

If you starts questioning the integrity of the games media you hurt the narrative that everything they say about gamergate is 100% true with no room for grey areas.

Sad to see what became of ResetEra. Their original goal was to be nothing like NeoGAF but they are worse now.

It's what happens when you put extremists in charge of anything. It'll die the slow death of all internet hugboxes. At least those morons contain themselves.

It was explicitly made to be the embodiment of the cancer that NeoGAF used to be. They even had some kind of weird Internet "background-check" requirement for registrations in the beginning to prevent "infiltration" by "problematic people". The only reason they split off in the first place is because NeoGAF's owner got #metoo'd.

I saw one topic that has 1 million posts on the front page. How the fuck is that possible?

Or is gamefaqs just that dead?

^I once said that Waypoint was SJW garbage and they banned that account lmao

Dunno what makes liberalz so ultra fragile smh

The hyper sensitivity mixed with militant whining is not something the left has a monopoly on.

Which is why for example T_D is a hugbox.

Or why some conservatives interpret a cashier saying "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas" as literally declaring war on their religion and very way of being.
