Forums - Gaming Discussion - Guild Wars 2 Writer Fired Over being a complete idiot on twitter, Gaming "press" defends her xD

She clearly overreacted and needlessly lashed out against a guy who was just giving his own opinion in a respectful manner, so yeah, she's obviously on the wrong here, and trying to paint the situation differently is disingenuous at best. Not sure if the situation really warranted firing her, but there could be something besides just this and the Totalbiscuit thing behind all this so who knows.

I saw a video about this yesterday. Really glad they got fired. Her in particular, she is just an awful human being, she celebrated John "TotalBiscuit" Bane's passing.

¨The fact that she wasn't fired when she celebrated a man's death is a travesty in my opinion. These companies need a social-media policy                             

Yes. Good riddance.

Didn't TB do some bad things?



Wtf she's a complete basket case she literally just accused him of sexism because he gave a different point of view on how to approach story telling.

Someone has a different approach they think may work so that makes them sexist and the clown that turned up to agree with it, really?

TB wasnt a saint and did some dick things. But to laugh at this death and in essence walk all over it, that's unjustified.

I'm not sure I'm hearing the entire story (including her perspective), but she sounds like an awful person. I'm sure sexism is a real problem in the games industry, but so far I haven't seen even a hint of sexism in this case. I'm sure there must've been some later on, but initially, this seems like valid critique.

She's using sexism from other cases to justify her reaction here the was no sexism in this case, she started bring up unrelated incidents to say that's why she went off at the streamer even though they said nothing offensive and worded everything politely.



This is what happens when people are used to getting their way by playing certain cards a lot. This needs to happen more often to serve as an example. You don't get to be an insufferable asshole just because you're not a straight white male.

To my knowledge the worst thing he ever did was telling an internet troll that was harassing him that he hoped they got cancer and died. This was early in his youtube career, like 8 years ago I think, and he apologized for it countless times over the years. Ironically he died of cancer himself. But yeah, other than that he was just highly opinionated and that rubbed some people's fur the wrong way. Her beef with him was that he supported the gamergate movement, but celebrating the death of a person because they were a gamergater is just a sick thing to do, she is terrible for doing it and should have been fired back then. 

Exactly. She even tried to defend her disgusting view on him by claiming he supported harassment. Which he never did. What he DID do was defend people whose ideals opposed hers. He didn't subscribe to the notion that everyone who wasn't left-leaning in political viewpoints in the industry was a GamerGater. He supported transparency in gaming journalism. To her, that was enough to describe him as a ring leader for a cult of men who would throw their dicks at her house and demand she make them all a sandwich.
