In cases like this, it's interesting to see the vast chasm splitting reports, some sites are presenting only half the story and appear to actually be siding with her. In an incident where it's so easy to dig up the full story and chain of tweets, and in a case where a person has been behaving poorly against others on twitter for some time, this isn't exactly a clever strategy. Individuals on youtube and blogs have such influence over public opinion today, these sites backing this woman could pay dearly for it. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of any site that has a clear and obvious bias, regardless of the topic, I've already stopped reading quite a few a while back due to this.

Let's hope some developers voice their open support for ArenaNet as well, people like her need to put in their place and having journalists and "journalists" running her errands and spreading nonsense is damaging for everyone in the long run. I'm quite simply astonished that she doesn't have the decency to even apologize after all this. Wow.

I believe the key to all of this is that social media, forums and other places where you can give your opinion is not your friend. Everyone can be an Ahole. It takes one bad day one bad facebook remark, one bad tweet you name it and next thing you know people are associating you with their company and firing you because you post your thoughts public. In the end, this is no different then the Roseanne Barr situation. Your words can cause you to lose your job so its best just to not respond especially if you are going to go on that negative route.

She worked at Paizo? Interesting. Wasn't aware of that.

This is really similar to Gamergate which was a controversy surrounding a woman and gaming journalists doing unethical stuff, who got called out by gamers on their bullshit and the woman at the center of the controversy played the "WAMEN victim card" and switched the narrative to "gamers are mysoginists and thats why they are criticizing me", and all the "game journalist" decided to push her false narrative in order to shift the conversation and demonize their opponents.

Sad to see, but fully expected that games-media would be on her side. On the other side it seems like Youtubers are doing the right thing and calling her out.
I don't think trditional games-media have long left to live now

I haven't looked too deeply into her time there but it seems she claimed she was sexually harassed there. Now, I'm not going to deny her claims outright, but based on what I'm seeing here it makes it hard for me to believe it wasn't a situation that she blew way out of proportion.

This will likely become a new gamergate if game media keeps backing her but they will easily lose because people are keeping track of everything being said or written. I hope Anita jumps on the sinking ship too.

I bet she will.

I agree with you. It's why I avoid Kotaku and Polygon as much as possible. Rock Paper Shotgun is now on my list too.

You are all grasping at straws at her character assassination. Stinks of gamergate. She has the right to an opinion too and Arenanet played censor by firing her. She should litigate on first amendment grounds. Corporations can't and don't have the power to silence individuals. Freedom of speech shall not be censored.
