What the actual hell are you talking about? It's a harmless comment and the only ones upset about it are far right chuds like The Quartering. All she said is that minorities have to fight to show they exist in the industry which I believe is actually true, there is a lot of condescending attitude amongst gamers that women for example don't play console games or only play mobile games which don't count as games. It's a Goddamn tweet on her personal twitter, what the hell does it have to do with her job? Also, surely the woman who recognises that the videogame industry isn't made up of just white males would be a good thing for Xbox's global marketing because it would mean she would recognise the importance of appealing to people of all races, religions, ethnics and those smaller markets that Xbox ignores. Of course she had to private her Twitter account because of angry weirdos harassing her so lets not do that in this thread either, yeah? |
It isn't harmless, If I was in her position she could have said something like
'Working in my position I know very well that it is not easy to have all voices heard but so long I am in this position I want you to know that we at Xbox are listening to you all *Heart*Xbox'
^ It is maybe cheesy but something like that works... but what I will not do is:
'Working in my position I know very well that it is not easy to have all voices heard but so long I am in this position I want you to know that we at Xbox are listening to you all *Heart*Xbox' (and no hate to Muslims I know it is very hard for you people to see a women in this kind of position)
^Even if you have thousands of women saying they were not allowed to play video games because they were a girl while her brothers could, adding that last part would only provoke people.
So long you have a title every tweet will be reflected to your job/position, Sarah bond/Phil spencer and so on all their tweets will be linked to xbox.
Btw again, I just used The Quartering becaus he is the first picture that pops up that I easily could quote here.
Edit:
Anyway she made also up some demographic stuff and she excused herself for being wrong:
