Probably going to wait for the dust to settle.So do y'all think that LRG are going to permanently silence their socials from here on out, or will they open them back up for more doses of reality?

I would be very surprised if it does and I hope that it doesn't. They need to be lambasted until they reverse and apologize for what they have done.Probably going to wait for the dust to settle.
Sacked. Let that sink in. Your life ruined for a 7 year old tweet and following people on twitter. Wtf.

It'd be incredible if she became the community manager for the Harry Potter game.It is so deliciously schizophrenic that they always exclude people in the name of tolerance and inclusiveness sorry for her, let’s hope she has a strong enough fan base to weather the dumbstorm

Just leave this poor kid alone? As you said yourself seemingly psychologists said no and PARENT TOO, yet here you are with your wife trying to support this kid with what exactly? Dude if I'd be this kid's parent I'd be furious.I know I'm being framed as being all on one side of this, but I want to relate a personal anecdote for a minute because I actually have dealt with this IRL and it takes some nuance.
I know a kid who I have watched grow up. Always presented male. Still does, at least publicly. They came out to us as trans, although they never showed obvious signs of gender dysphoria growing up. They are currently SCREAMING HYSTERICALLY for puberty blockers, partly because puberty has hit hard, fast, and early in a way that must be traumatic. Psychologists say no, parent say no. Kid asks me and my wife for support.
I said to the kid, "Look, I remember what it was like to be 13 and the idea that I would have been asked to make any permanent life-altering decision at 13 is horrifying." My wife says "You know I had gender dysphoria at your age too, but it got better and now I love being a woman." But we also said, "Look, transition takes years. You haven't even started presenting female/femme publicly yet. If you'd like to change your name and pronouns and start presenting differently, of course we will support you. My wife took them to a make up tutorial. Like we're not being invalidating, but we're just like "Take baby steps and try before you buy." We are being supporting and respectful, but encouraging caution and exploration, and not jumping right to medical intervention.
So it's not like I think every kid that wants hormones should get them. I don't. But I have also met kids where it's just screamingly obvious that they are trans from day one. So I think it's gotta be case by case, but erring on the side of caution.
If the 1s lose their lively hoods what should happen to a 5?
So the purple haired activist turned out to be a nonce.

Diversity of select labels and immutable characteristics, not diversity of thought or speech.They respect all personal opinions, yet they locked the replies to their account.

We know none of these false virtue ideologues ever practice the actual definitions of the words they coopt, just bastardize.
A nonce is a pedo.Nah, a Nonce can be laughed at. They were subhuman scum. Pro Pedo trash.
Our families are very close, see each other every day, and we have an aunt and uncle like relationship with the kid. The parents were well aware of the conversation and thanked us.Just leave this poor kid alone? As you said yourself seemingly psychologists said no and PARENT TOO, yet here you are with your wife trying to support this kid with what exactly? Dude if I'd be this kid's patent I'd be furious.

Can’t wait to see which movie studio picks up the rights to this.Ugh, didn't know about this topic. That title...
It gets quite hard to follow the line. GAF needs to implement threadmarks.
Summary:
- There's a woman called Kara Lynne that works at Limited Run Games as Community Manager.
- There's a Twitter account by the nick "Purple Tinker (hates Elon)".
- Kara Lynne tweets about how she's excited for the next game Hogwarts Legacy.
- Purple Tinker identifies as a trans woman (a woman that was a man).
- She (he, or whatever, see next bullet points) gets upset by this fact due to Rowling's "transphobia" controversy.
- Purple Tinker starts digging hard into Kara Lynne's Twitter feed, as far as going into 7 years old tweets.
- Purple Tinker finds tweets where Kara Lynne express her discomfort on predatory men using trans rights (like being able to go into women's bathroom posing as trans women) in order to harass women.
- Purple Tinker also finds she follows a couple of "alt-right" associated accounts.
- Purple Tinker calls her out on this and points towards her job position as CM of Limited Run Games.
- Purple Tinker tweets about it and asks Limited Run Games to fire her.
- Doesn't get too much attention until this is picked up by Resetera users.
- A Resetera thread gets created on the topic and start a witch hunt.
- Limited Run Games terminates Kara Lynne as their Community Manager and finally fires her.
- Kara Lynne's husband gets upset by it and calls the company out.
- Resetera users are not satisfied. Now they start another witch hunt asking to fire him (they start digging on him and find that he has worked on some key art for a game published by Limited Run Games but don't know if he actually works at LRG).
- At this point the controversy erupted and is all over the place. So supporters of Kara Lynne start digging into Purple Tinker's history.
- Finding Purple Tinker is a trans woman that is also a Brony and creator of "BronyCon".
- Brony: adult people fans of the show My Little Ponny, into "Furry" cosplay and cartoon furry (zoophilic) porn.
- This BronyCon is known for having multiple pedophiles among its community. Going as far as having tried to abduct an 11 years old child in one of this BronyCon events.
- Upon further digging, it is found that Purple Tinker also harassed another Brony fan for 2 years straight, stalking, doxxing and threatening of murdering him.
- Finally, it is found that Purple Tinker it is also a pedophilia defender and probably a pedophile her(him)self. Lots of "receipts" were found on the matter in old Tumblr.
- Purple Tinker closes his Twitter account.
- Resetera closes their witch-hunting thread, calling thread derailing. Refuses to elaborate further lasts events.
- You are here.
Sloth from the goonies nailed on to play purple tinkerCan’t wait to see which movie studio picks up the rights to this.
This is why activists spent years laying the groundwork for calling totally benign beliefs and opinions "evil."Fired for such a ridiculously minor comment. She wasn't calling to exterminate trans people.and then for a few accounts she follows?
I have around 100 LRG and I'm done with them. Never again.
I wanted to know how the angry posters heard about all this, so that gave me an excuse to try out Twitter api for the first time (following/followers endpoints are really limited).Took a quick look and the vast majority don't follow him.
So do y'all think that LRG are going to permanently silence their socials from here on out, or will they open them back up for more doses of reality?
Oh man, I hear you.I wish I could go back to the 80’s. No smartphones and the world felt no bigger than my neighborhood
I disagree and the decision made negatively impacts their company more so than keeping her.Her job was to promote that company in the best possible way. That was her job. She was no longer able to do that. The company had no other choice.
Even worse was they didn't even do it privately. If the CM wanted to post about it later she was fired that's on her, but the company made a big deal out of it promoting their decision on the issue (which stems from a political thing) by publicly the gaming world they fired her.I disagree and the decision made negatively impacts their company more so than keeping her.
I just typed in 'Limited Run Games backlash' on the YouTube search bar. I don't watch these channels but these came up.
Sure they had a choice. They could have stood behind their employee and not bowed to a shallow political mob. Would that have been the better choice? From a business standpoint, hard to say. Could be they were fucked no matter what they did. But if I'm going to be fucked either way then might as well be fucked doing the right thing.
a no the shit come from shits who do not buy or play games.From a business standpoint they didn't have a choice. What they had was a PR employee who was bringing a PR shit storm to their door. It's easy for everyone sitting on the outside to say the company should have stuck by her. They ain't the ones sitting watching their company's image being flushed down the toilet and their profits being threatened by an angry mob screaming about their transphobic employee. We can all agree she got a bad rap. No doubt if she'd been a bookkeeper or whatever they could've moved her around to some other department. Hidden away. You know, like Ubisoft and Activision do with their sex offenders.

lol wtfYou really shouldn't reply to things you don't understand.

Sure, but it is easy for anyone saying what should have happened being on the outside and that applies to you as well. The company is getting slammed on social media and is resorting to silencing anyone who speaks up against them. Doesn't sound to me like they were very successful in saving their company's image at all.
I'm not talking what should have happened. I'm talking about what did happen because from a business viewpoint I understand why they canned her.
What should have been done is she gets suspended till a real full investigation of what happened is done to see if she was really in the bad or not.Sure, but it is easy for anyone saying what should have happened being on the outside and that applies to you as well.

No. It's not the same difference. Talking about what "should" happen is speculation. I'm talking about what did happen.Same difference
