Does that go to actual sites or am I left wondering what is behind those links? They're working here but it's a mess. Not really sure what I'm supposed to be seeing there. Doesn't appear to be the original dude whose comment kicked this off. |

Hold on, are you referring to the most recent situation? The guy she responded to wasn't being condescending. I think his opinion was a kind of ignorant, but he was very polite and just offering his opinion.
There's a video recorded from his Twitch stream just the day before where he was absolutely effusive in his praise for Jessica Price. He had a great deal of respect for her.
She didn't really react to him, she reacted to the collective internet mob of 'mansplainers' and she unfairly dragged him through the coals. Mansplaining is a genuine issue, but his specific posts just didn't justify her reaction.
(For the record I still don't think she should have been fired though. I think there were mistakes made all round.) |

It does not mean everybody else has to put up with you being a closeminded dirtbag. While I agree with that... I also don't agree with "Internet Mob Justice". (Not saying that this particular case was that). Often someone slips with something slightly offensive on the Internet... whether it be in poor taste or just an off "joke" and ends up losing a career over it.
There has to be some balance, even if one is being a dumbass. |

This incident makes very clear the perils of social media being a jerk and flying off the handle when someone offers polite critique, especially when transparent and well-understood guidelines for staff members are not in place Guideline: Don't be a jerk and fly off the handle on social media. |

After reading about everything, no strong feelings about Price (she's obviously slightly toxic although that seems pretty par for the course on twitter? And she's clearly being brigaded against), but I'm always surprised by how many people support corporations when it comes to gaming. |

The freedom of speech is supposed to protect speech that is deemed offensive or unpopular. It is alive and well in specific segments of society (e.g., protesting, religious, and so forth). Otherwise, every offensive word or phrase would be met with the harshest of responses. However, it is not a law, but a principle. And nowhere was that more clear than in this case. The principles of "freedom of speech" remain relative in the business world and open to varying degrees of application.

Please tell me that was a joking "I am playing stupid" question and it flew over my head. Probably not. So many people seem to think it should be free from people judging them as idiots and not wanting to be around them and/or the products they represent. |

I realize that she's playing to an audience of outrage culture and maybe has to do this to get her requisite clicks, but that doesn't mean that I have to respect it. Maybe I should have used Jenny McCarthy as the other side of the spectrum.

Most of her videos are basically "yeah, hmm, never thought about that from that angle," unless you think video games are beyond reproach, which it becomes "HOW DARE SHE SAY THAT!!!!" |

The firing of Jessica Price doesn't really surprise me....because she had made MANY tasteless and inflammatory posts in the past. That said....anyone posting insane crap (left or right) on social media under their real name probably should be fired. Doesn't matter if you're a dev, attorney, tech, or DMV receptionist. Free speech doesn't mean there aren't repercussions to being a closeminded dirtbag.
