Person who got fired goes on twitter and tells everyone it was because they were feminist. That's like the job equivalent of someone on CE making a topic about how they were unfairly modded. Gonna need to hear what actually happened first.

Fun fact that person Shift up fired was a contractor that happened to be a feminist complaining about fan service and it happened during the shareholder negotiations of Tencent

Sounds like they got fired for essentially derailing an important meeting with their personal opinions.

-Contractor so not even full fledged employee

If true, then the picture is becoming a bit clearer why this person was given the boot.

All I know is that Korea has a huge anti-feminism culture compared to the West, like the hatred of feminism in Korea would put Western incels to shame. >_> So if there's one game company I can believe would fire someone for being feminist, it would be a Korean one.

That said, there's no proof this was the case and this is just a tweet made by a disgruntled former employee so who knows. Plus calling for a boycott is dumb cuz boycotts don't work.

Did they actually get fired of being just feminists, or the fact they were criticizing the game every step of the way, as well as their colleagues, and maybe even the boss? I think that's where the toxic part comes in. Hope to see more come out. And being a feminist in East Asia like S Korea, and Japan, is a tough break.

If you want to convince people with a Tweet, with a Reddit link, with a half year old Twitter Screenshot, you are mostly out of luck these days.

Esspecially if this Twitter Screenshot is a "They did me wrong, source: Myself" posting.

This. Why should I take a Twitter user's word if they don't have proof? Anyone can make shit up.

It sounds like they tried "upending the tea table" so-to-speak at a shareholder's meeting anyway. Disrupting those kinds of things would get anybody fired or severely reprimanded.

Tell that to the Korean women being pressured to undertake plastic surgery to give them more European facial features, in order for them to advance their career. And the sexual abuse on the Kpop industry.

Don't believe stuff you read on Twitter without the actual ability to read Korean, which I do. SHIFT UP is a scumbag company who sold off to Saudi Arabia and the CCP, and they already had a history of bowing down to the massive incel community. There were graphs showing people within 16~28 male demographic leaning radical right and wanting the society to be entirely patriarchal as it had always been.

There are radical feminists, but at the end of the day, all they say are words, and what they want is just more rights, because in Korea, they're basically expected to be housewives and quit their job so they can get married. Times have changed, and they're doing non-violence protests. Incel community on the other hand have harassed and sent death threats to numerous people within the gaming and anime industries to fire as many feminists as they could, and then immediately stalk them to their next workforce to spread crazy rumors to fire them as well.

Those said rumors are what you guys and those ppl on Twitter are basing their opinions on, but I've followed SHIFT UP's stupid shit in Korean forums since the start. The incels there are legitimately crazy, and as I've said, the polls show that they're not a minority by any means. There's sadly strength in numbers, and all they do with their time is drive Korea's birth rate below .7 and ruin people's lives. The stalker-killer incident happened as well, which involved an incel killing a completely random woman due to the fanatical nature of their women hating. It's utter insane there
