Forums - General - Former Naughty Dog Employee Says He Was Sexually Harassed

A he? Sexually harassed?

He tweets:
"I will not let anyone kill my drive or love for the video game industry, my passions or life."

Goes twitter, not to a lawyer, not to court, no details about the nature of the harassment and the alleged culprit.

What is suppose to happen now?

Why?

Think about it for a moment.

If you're too scared to say something than don't say anything at all. When someone asks you a question you don't respond with "Just think about it bro!" This isn't 2+2=4, I want to know why you genuinely care so much about the gender?

The guy sounds like a complete and utter betamale pussy.

The sad thing is that his grandad was probably some bad ass who fought to protect his country in the war. He'd be so ashamed to know his grandson was some cry baby who had a mental breakdown because someone, maybe even another guy, sexually"assaulted" him.

Was probably a playful slap to the ass.

Easily the worst and dumbest first post in history.

You seem like the kind of person who would also cry and break down over something like this rather than actually do something about it.

Poor guy. He should come out as transgender then people might believe him.

A (white?) mans word means little these days. Dark times .

If this was an attempt at humor, it failed spectacularly.
If this was a display of your mentality, it failed spectacularly.

There's alot of cases where it's false and the person made the accusation for money or to get attention of some sort. I'm always skeptical of this stuff by default. What's weird in this situation is that he was "fired immediately after making the accusation" and was given just 20k as hush money by sony. 

The ratio of false claim to real/unreported claims is staggering in favor of the latter.  Skepticism should never be your default.  It's why so many go unreported.  Why bother when people aren't going to believe you anyway?

A rate between 2% and 10%, depending on the study, of demonstrably false claims should not be your default position.  Since 1989, only 52 people have been exonerated from prison due to a false accusation.

Nonsensical as usual. "Skepticism should never be your default"? Oh really. Isn't skepticism the basis of how justice in the entire world works? Someone reports a crime, it's investigated in every way to lead to the culprit and to ensure there's no room for doubt in their guilt or innocence. You can't take someone's word on face value when it comes to justice. Anything said as to be treated as questionable unless it's verified. In situations like this, anything the accuser and the accused says has to be looked into before you treat what is said as fact or true because it would be assuming the accused is guilty until proven otherwise.

If he's lying in any way, he'll likely be sued and serve possible jail time because of the way he went about this. He defamed both Naughty Dog/Sony with allegations of him being fired for reporting the assault and sony bribing him. He also threw his old co-workers under the bus with what he said.
