The resetera thread for this is incredible. Can you imagine trying to get someone fired and approaching your CEO because they listened to a bald man's boring podcast?

What kind of work environment do modern game studios have where everyone who does not fall in line with your personal political opinions deserves to be fired?

If I went to my CEO and told him someone was watching Hasan twitch streams and it doesn't align with my personal values I imagine he would hit a button on his desk that released a trap door under me.

Bluesky should be renamed The Crucible because the amount of meltdowns that happen there is insurmountable

I just posted in the other thread, but oh well... It seems to be more strictly relevant here:

Even putting everything else aside, you can immediately tell that "This misogynistic toxic straight white male complimented my tits and grabbed my crotch in the middle of the office" is a typical case of self-deluded tranny fantasy and that shit most likely never happened.
But of course ResetERA is now running away with it and Swen Vincke has suddenly become the most vile person on the planet for them,

Yea sorry I don't believe this for one second.

Great job hanging a sign around your neck saying "Never hire me"

"He's invaluable to the team, it's too hard to replace him his close to release"

This is the real issue here.

 

[Durin]

I wish more companies response to this stuff was to just suspend or fire the person making the pointless complaint.

Sets the tone to just do your job, and people can listen to whatever they want if they get work done.

I doubt this person complaining was invaluable.

 

[Hector Hall]

It's incredible, those woke guys are absolutely totalitarian and fascist like, yet call fascist everyone else... you can't even hear a podcast without them trying to get you fired if they don't like the contents or author..

 

[Spukc]

fuck that absolute piece of fucking cess pool level sub human piece of shit trying to cancel someone over something that fucking trivial.
May you never ever fucking ever find a job

Good luck flipping burger you incompetent fuck

We need to bring back bullying and institute it in the workplace.

The irony in the post is hilarious.

So many people fail to realize that the internet is forever.

How can you immediately tell?

It's stupid to expect everyone thinks just like you or aligned to your own values, that's for sure. If people was being racist (and I don't think people thinking that a race switch in a pop culture media product is racist) then it should be looked at. Extremists from any side are disgusting.

[Angry_Megalodon]

Another incompetent trans only hired because of DEI causing turmoil and stupidly accusing publicly someone of harrassing (which should get his psychopatic ass sued)

Larian should learn the lesson and never hire these freaks.

Gay, pathetically super gay. Them little feel feels and believing anyone gives a shit about them. This is full stop pushing past "idiocracy" and straight into some damn twilight zone, that is off the fucking twilight zone.

Humiliating. Just go to work, shut up, go home and bitch there to furry boyfriend/girlfriend/unicorn/thing. Get up the next day and do it again.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I get the distinct feeling this person has no idea what fascism actually is; complaining about "black aragorn" isn't (or doesn't have to be) bigotry either, people are free to be annoyed by changes to something they like, whatever that change may be.

It's really weird how they have "no chill" about things like this, it's from 0 to a 100 immediately calling everyone nazis and fascist and the worst evils etc. just because they don't conform to your ideology.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Swen, look at what they are trying to do to you, these people you champion and that you thought loved you. Turned out they only loved themselves and what will further their own personal agendas. All gamers aren't like that. Most of us just want you to make another amazing game. Remember who your friends are in moments like these. Your fans are here for you when your activist buddies try to ruin your life over nothing. Nothing they say matters because of us. Remember who had your back and who will have it again and again in the future if you keep putting out bangers. We will not fail you, so do it for us.

Aragorn being black in MTG is fucking stupid though.

Laughing at this does not make you racist and neither does listening to milquetoast Tim Pool podcasts.

I'm also inclined to believe that her sexual harrasment claim (on a different guy mind you) is bullshit because she says she didn't report it. If you are the type to report a guy for his choice of middle of the road, mainstream podcasts then you are absolutely reporting a genuine sexual assault.

Well she named that guy publicly so let's see if he responds. I know I would.

These bluesky wimps are the worst.

Oh no, don't go for MindsEye too. How will the industry ever come back from that?

there's nothing so wrong with the western world that a much greater number of these trap doors everywhere wouldn't fix it...

I don't know if happened or not. But reporting the guy who watch Tim Pool, and not reporting the sexual harassment sounds strange to me.

Going from Baldur's Gate 3 to Mindseye is like going from heaven to hell.

 

[nemiroff]

Ah, Mr. Pool, the guy who's been "predicting" a civil war for about a decade now… Anyway, if a coworker brings political talk into a workplace where it's unwelcome, that's definitely an issue. Still, even though Pool is one of the most blatantly retarded grifters out there, I wouldn't want his listeners to lose their jobs, of course.

Unfortunately the way hiring works is once you get into the prestige circle of far left tech and creatives you basically have a universal key code to work anywhere. As he says he already has a higher paying job elsewhere, and so does that Charlie Kirk Sucker Punch them/they.

You read those posts in the OP and came away with THAT?

 

[Sebastian1295]

Who is tim pool? Didn't know this person even made podcasts tbh.

 

[Sentenza]

How can you immediately tell?

Is this an actual question?
The answer is "pattern recognition".
Because what this story is describing is NOT credible human behaviour.
Because this is the TYPICAL textbook example of made-up story that these people constantly tell, in a ridiculous attempt to BOTH paint themselves as the victims AND self-indulge in their delusion that they are convincing enough as a "real woman" to sollicite undesired male attention.
The internet saying "shit that never happened" exists for a reason.

 

[Zathalus]

Press X to mega doubt any of this even occurred or was even nearly as bad as this person is claiming. Dude probably mentioned that podcast once or twice, and the rest of the shit is made up delusional fantasy. Especially the crotch grabbing in the middle of the office part.

 

[vkbest]

Going from Baldur's Gate 3 to Mindseye is like going from heaven to hell.

I would say it's the exact opposite for those people.

 

[nemiroff]

You're better off not knowing.. All you need to know is that he's funded by the Russians and calls Ukraine the number one enemy of the US. That's how retarded he is.

 

[ssringo]

Of course now that folks think it's cool to hate on Larian it's time to tell their stunning and brave story of how horrible the company actually is.

 

[ExcitableBoy]

Yeah I don't believe this happened for a second. Why not report it then?

 

[calico]

Based invaluable engineer should have started bringing Harry Potter books in to read during lunch.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

bluesky
didnt read

 

[ExcitableBoy]

Also interesting that someone that uses "it / they" pronouns has the nerve to call someone else weird.

 

[Aenima]

I was about to read all those tweets but then i saw they can from a bluesky account, so i chose to preserve my sanity. Anyway im not adding nothing to the topic, so im out, you can stop reading this.

Spoiler

Nop, still nothing worth reading here too, move along.

They're watching what podcast we listen to? That's not coexisting, that's spying/stalking.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Typical projection. Dude sounds like the biggest "weirdo" and an unpleasant coworker.

 

[Ovek]

Wait Sven's group of friends are the freaks? Humm methinks they need to look in mirror before handing out freaks comments.

 

[nial]

Playing devil advocate here, but I think people are missing that she's talking about two different guys.
If the statement is true, then this Felix Pedulla person (different to the Tim Pool fan) is an abuser by all means.
