That "punching Nazis till I die" just tells us so much about the kind of person we're dealing with. Social media really brings out this type of juvenile mindset in far too many people.

What do you mean? She seems lovely

 

[adamsapple]

Maybe I'll let adamsapple beat it on easy, then buy it used from him.

I ain't buying bro, renting via gamefly.

 

[LordCBH]

That psycho has been fired? Looks like samurai game might be back on the menu.

SHOCKING TWIST: Resetera collectively decides to boycott Sucker Punch for the firing of its texture artist. They blame Nate Fox, a bald white male, for the heteronormative patriarchy that facilitated this decision

Go on Sony! I was pre-ordering Yotei regardless but I'll do it with pride (lol) now.

is this tongue and cheek too?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Sucker Punch should still apologize

 

[Techno_Inked]

Even though what's been said is wrong and extremely distasteful to put it lightly, I feel we should be careful not to incite a witch hunt.
We shouldn't affect someone's life nor livelihood like that. Just saying.

There's literally nothing fascist about Charlie Kirk. Ffs, the guy just wanted to converse and debate college kids. A real fascist wouldn't hesitate to use any form of violence to their political opponent. Sometimes I wish there are actual fascists group in America that would show these people what fascism actually looks like because it ain't nothing like some milquetoast conservative guy having a debate that they are so scared of. Libshits are absolute retarded.

I always thought Nate Fox was gay, isnt he?

 

[apple_of_enlightenment]

But they were employed ten years before the incidents of this week…? What are you asking for exactly?

Company fostered an environment where employees felt it was alright to say something like this.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

Sucker Punch should still apologize

Why? they didn't make the statement an individual did and they dealt with it accordingly.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Canning the trash in private and acting publically like nothing happened isnt acceptable.

Suckerpunch needs to make a public, very clear statement that what their employee did was wrong and condemn it.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Was a pretty disgusting remark. To be honest, I feel soured on buying or playing Ghost of Yotei now. It's good she got fired, but just knowing fucking lunatics like that worked on the game makes we want to stay away from it. And I really liked Ghost of Tsushima. Shame.

no, but 1) it would be funny and 2) so on point for how resetera thinks

 

[paolo11]

They don't work in unity hahahaha.

In any case if it does happen, I should not be surprised

[Trilobit]

Does anyone know for a fact that she got fired and isn't just faking it? I saw some picture of someone asking her if she got fired and she didn't say either yes or no.

Imagine not being able to discern between dying of natural causes and being murdered. Fucking hell.

lol. Lmao, even.

They getting a taste of what they've been doing to everyone else for a decade and they don't like it lol

 

[BigBeauford]

Haha, wonderful. Now they are going to get a dick in the ass from both sides.

 

[Memati187]

You probably couldnt even point to Gaza on a map.

I am originally from that region, but you probably can't even name 5 states out of your own country.

no way to be certain if she was actually fired or faking it for cover unless sucker punch says something

changing your profile or your linked in account means nothing.

Ruining someone's life directly vs voting with your wallet are not the same thing. Nice try.

It's about time people learned to shut their mouths publicly when they potentially represent and advertise the company they work for. I'm sick of social media making everyone think their shit doesn't stink. You advocate for being a piece of shit? Go advocate privately or anonymously if you're on the company dime.

What is the difference between an employer "voting with their wallet" and a customer "voting with their wallet". Nothing at all. It's the same cancel culture.

 

[Techno_Inked]

lol. Lmao, even.

What exactly are you referring to? Just to clarify. My stance is that no opinion is worth more than a life and in many cases nor someone's livelihood.

I get what you are saying but at the same time it probably wasn't a good idea for her to put a big flashing neon sign over her head that says "witch".

 

[Gitaroo]

Guess I will double dip Yotei on PS5 and PC then <_<

 

[viveks86]

Imagine not being able to discern between dying of natural causes and being murdered. Fucking hell.

It's the difference between just believing in an ideology and being indoctrinated. The latter causes classic Machiavellian psychopathy. The ends will always justify the means.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Why? they didn't make the statement an individual did and they dealt with it accordingly.

Because they are gonna get thousands of people hounding them for years if they don't make it clear that Sucker Punch hates this person like all of us do. They can still salvage this if they denounce it clearly and loudly.

 

[LordCBH]

Don't act like you don't know that their side has been doxxing people and dogpiling peoples employers to get them fired for the past decade.

 

[paparazzo]

These mental midgets just reinforce my decision never to buy western games at retail or digital ever again.

Bad company ruins good morals. This industry can burn.

 

[Braag]

What do you mean? She seems lovely

She looks like your typical cringe girl who is always the loudest in a room and everyone is just waiting for her to leave, so they can have a normal conversation.

 

[Techno_Inked]

I get what you are saying but at the same time it probably wasn't a good idea to put a big flashing neon sign over her head that says "witch".

I agree, it was a stupid action and a stupid mistake. But should it cost her her job? Debatable, depending on internal further investigation. Should it cost her her safety? I would say no.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Oh boy, did you skip like 10 years of American culture?

I think you should research about Cancel Culture.

 

[rkofan87]

If I refused to buy products or consume media from people I disagree with I'd probably have way less games and books than I do.

this but if they did not go on blue sky and say this no one would knows this and their sales would be fine but now they're up shits creek

 

[Mister Wolf]

She looks like your typical cringe girl who is always the loudest in a room and everyone is just waiting for her to leave, so they can have a normal conversation.

I'm sure the word "patriarchy" gets high usage in her vocabulary. Well this time the patriarchy won baby.

 

[analog_future]

Imagine truly believing that making a Mario & Luigi joke on Twitter about someone being murdered is standing up to fascism. Really making a difference there.


Social media was a mistake.

 

[blue velvet]

she subscribes to the "everything I hate is fascist" school of thought.

The left are celebrating and see this as an ultimate win against fascism but what they done is radicalize more young men. Guys like Charlie Kirk are the one preventing those from happening to young impressionable white dudes by having an honest discourse instead of getting baited by those far right propagandas on imageboards and hate forums. Do the left wanted to see another terror groups like attomwaffen division or something? Do they really want to see an actual fascist groups forming instead of young men willing to have a discourse over political differences?

No only a vile woman, but also a Karen.

Stay away from gaming little girl.

It's not about sides. I'm mainly speaking on this incident. Opinions are just opinions. Joking about someone's death is wrong. But it would also be wrong to incite further hate and jeopardizing someone's safety is all I'm saying.

 

[rkofan87]

People who talk more about games than playing them - boycotting a game they were never going to play to begin with.

Just another day in the online gamingsphere.

are you talking about era Gaf or both

Hmmm I can fix he…. actually no, impossible

Not sure if already posted.

Cool col cool cool. Fuck Jeff grubb. Mike Minoti needs unchained from that hack.

Bold move Grubb. Would hate to see that giant bomb patreon become a giant boom.

Literally did nothing to stand up against fascism and doesn't know what it means.
