It's shit like this that makes my life worse as a Eurasian because even if you look amazing you're still a subhuman because Asian women happily marry guys who look like they've been in industrial accidents over an Asian guy. It makes Asian looking males look like the worst fucking losers on earth. The guy is absolutely offensive to look at. Like his face literally makes my stomach churl because he's so ugly. I'd even be mad if he had a white girlfriend People feel they have the liberty to say of course your dad is white. Because white guys see shit like this where some fucking quasimodo looking freak can get Asian girls and they use it as ammo as to how shittyy asian guys are...

I am a bot. (Info / Contact)

Game producer, writer, editor, howling maenad. ArenaNet Narrative team. Obsessed with lionesses. Salty language. I block often. I won't play demure for you.

Also hasn't updated her twitter bio yet lolol

Probably part of her eternal victim status or something

Her LinkedIn says she still works at Paizo

She worked at Paizo? That explains a lot.

Even they chucked her though lol.

I actually went digging after the last time she showed up at /r/drama and found some old stuff from her Paizo days.

Now .... I dont like the product that she is talking about here. It is edgy bullshit. However i dont think it is a good idea to start trying to publically get a product blacklisted with technically said product is your competitor.

And now, I'm going out to lunch and then on a very well-earned vacation. See you later. What a smug fucking cunt

a very well-earned vacation

Now that's a fancy way to spell "unemployment"

Her unemployment was well earned indeed.

Surely they didn't give her a severance package right? Or if they did, they would have added a disparagement clause to it. And surely the way she talks about the company in this thread would violate any severance package right?

Man, how great would it be to see her come back from that vacation to a note from their lawyers demanding she give back the money she just spent on her vacation?

Man, how great would it be to see her come back from that vacation to a note from their lawyers demanding she give back the money she just spent on her vacation?

If this happened, she'd just open a Patreon or GoFundMe and get triple the amount of money she would have received from severance after her tragic story gets spread across Polygon, Kotaku, Resetera, and Giantbomb.

Giantbomb? Yeah right faggot. Giantbomb is the only good gamer journos left.

You misspelled The Jimquisition

smh tbhwuf

lol jim sterling is nothing but a rabble-rousing whiny fat fuck, he's the perez hilton of video games.

good

gamer

journos

Get the bread, this one needs to be spread.

GB duders have already come out in support of this cunt on their podcast yesterday. after Abby was hired, everything's gone downhill.

For real? Fuck. I usually dont have the time anymore to listen to their podcasts unless im really busy. Used to listen to them all the time when commuting until i found edgy content to listen to

yep. jeff also spent an inordinate amount of time "roasting" elon musk for some reason. they've become pretty bad as of late.

remember when giant bomb used to be good.

they haven't really been good for a year or two at this point, I'm starting to realize

they started going downhill when everyone started calling that little twerp Klepek "Scoops" and treating him as some sort of actual journalist. then Austin came on and started posting stupid diatribes like his "The Witcher 3 is racist" article and the follow-up "If you disagree with me saying Witcher 3 is racist, you are probably racist"

now we have Abby, the person hired on as a production assistant with 0 actual experience in production, leaving Vinny to do his job and hers, and now she's just on videos all the time. i used to really like GB but now i can honestly not stand it most of the time.

i used to really like GB but now i can honestly not stand it most of the time.

same here, brother

i got banned from /r/giantbomb for implying Abby was hired in response to criticism towards the site that they only hire men (aka a diversity hire)

she has no qualifications for that job, she doesn't know shit about video games

why hire her

it wasn't a diversity hire, she knew someone who was friends with patrick who then suggested her. it was pure nepotism. she was even okay at first but you could really tell that they decided to shove her into everything on-camera as a response to the "OMG FINALLY A GRRRL GAMER" crowd.

you could tell especially on the first few videos she was behind the camera and vinny basically had to direct her during liveshows, and then on game of the year deliberations with her whole thing. not only did a new hire get a game on their overall list, it was supposedly a PRODUCER who did. DREW would barely get his games on their goty lists sometimes.

but meh i'm just a retard who cares way too much about video game personalities but oh well. the only one i REALLY liked was jeff anyways because he's closer to my age, but you can tell even he is basically done with it at this point. also fuck dan.

she was fine at first when she was primarily there to do camerawork, be on a video here and there, contribute a little bit to the Beastcast

then they seemed to come to the conclusion that she had to be on every single video, and she got more and more obnoxious. the time around when she started starring consistently in GBE video content is when i stopped watching GBE. i just find her really, really grating

and yeah Dan is basically a retarded person

Jeff is the only one I like anymore and even he can annoy me by being too much of a contrarian

Fuck man, he's failing so badly but at the very least he's TRYING to do something.

That's more than most of the asshats in his positon. Probably.

Besides, they should probably keep encouraging his shit tbh, the chance of failure is so high for all his ventures it's a lot easier to stroke his ego enough so he goes full-on steve jobs with no wozniack dick to suck on than try to tear said ego down so he... offs himself?

yeah the Bombcast this week was pretty disappointing

they ranted for a good 20 or so minutes about how she shouldn't have been fired, and how big of a blow this was to the integrity of ArenaNet, and how this set a horrible precedent for the gaming industry in general

all sorts of excuses about how "she was just having a bad day", how Internet mobs are really the cause of this

basically felt like they read some shitty Polygon article for 10 seconds then decided to talk to the issue without looking into it at all

never for a second did they seem to consider, hey maybe this person was an asshole who said shitty things and deserved to be fired

Id never comment negatively about any coworker or my work on fucking line. What an idiot. I would have fired her in a heartbeart, ungrateful wench

Abby was quite terrible on the latest game of the year deliberations. She actively seemed pissed when they were discussing Nier or something and did nothing but push Dream Daddy. Genuinely a terrible hire but i don't really watch them anymore

Damn. I knew just one female would twist the gb team and original feel

after Abby was hired, everything's gone downhill.

lol i don't want to BLAME her for this happening, but she definitely was a horseman of the apocalypse for GB's increasingly shitty and SJW-y current state

i used to think this way but this year has really shaken my confidence/interest in them

seriously feels like the hiring of Abby marked the beginning of the end

I think the split, the new hires, the political polarization ever since trump ran and somehow fucking won

Anyways I felt like they were the last good game journos left (lol at that name/career path) but yeah. I dont really play much video games until its depressing winter. Then its wow it up and listen to podcasts :)

I felt like they were the last good game journos left

kind of how I was too. some of them are still fine I think individually, but as an organization they're turning into Austin's shitshow over at Vice Waypoint

I can't even listen to any of the East Coast content anymore. got 2 minutes into a Quick Look of that new Shaq-fu game before Abby/Vinny started complaining that the game was "homophobic" due to a couple jokes. similarly, their podcast is either just Dan saying stupid shit or Abby complaining about Womyn in video games

definitely miss the old days of Drew and Ryan

Polygon, Kotaku, Resetera, and Giantbomb.

can confirm they're sucking her femdick pretty hard at all of these

If there's one thing I learned about the retards defending dumbasses like her is that they're broke, mentally retarded, lazy, fat or any combination of the four.

Either way they don't make good rubes since neetbux isn't all that proliferate.

"well-earned vacation"

i never thought about it that way when I got fired from a job several years ago. that's a fun spin

She just became a full-time customer of ArenaNet. Just a shift in roles, if you look at it cockeyed.

full-time NEET positions open worldwide

Time to go enjoy my gap year! Toodles!

The kindest thing I can say is, "I'm glad you're no longer around to keep doing harm".

fuckin spicy

LMAO was she the one taking potshots at a dead TB?

haha good riddance to this shitty cunt

On so many levels though. Like, she says this because she thinks he supported the evil gamergators. That still makes what she said shitty. The thing is though, TB hated the gamergators, and NEVER fucking supported them, so this misinformed moron is not only talking shit about a dead person, she is doing it because of something he wasn't even fucking guilty of.

Well, you criticized a woman dev, off to the gulag to be milked for sperm for the all female utopia.

😂

It's truly an achievement to be so incredibly insufferable that not even SRD'ines will defend you.

not even SRD'ines will defend you. I don't believe you. The SRDine is a creature incapable of nuance that pick targets based entirely on what is politically convenient. For them to speak out here, she would have to be some kind of conservative or worse, a "fascist".

I know it sounds hard to believe, but look for yourself.

/u/Killchrono think about the message you send when defending extremists, because it certainly isn't "extremists are irrelevant".

First things first, wow I got usertagged in a drama post, yay me.

Second, I'm not defending feminist extremists, just explaining the logic of why people do defend them.

That said, if you think feminist extremists are an actual threat to society and not just a niche part of the Tumblrsphere, I've got a bridge to sell you.

There's more than enough people in that thread defending her.

As the SRDine is wont to do.

The fact that it isn't the consensus is impressive, though.

For real though.

There are still SRDines defending her, don't you worry about that one.

White woman shocked to find her actions have consequences. Film at 11.

Long as I remember the white women been clowin' round

Clouds of hysteria pourin', tampons on the ground.

Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the fun.

And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop white women.

I've had to work with cunts like her before, and based on those experiences, I'd bet a good amount of money there are a lot of relieved developers there right now enjoying not putting up with her shit and not having to walk on eggshells anymore.

Everyone who's ever worked in a office knows the public drama is only a tiny portion of the internal drama.

I wish we had access to those deets, because I'm betting she was a real joy to work with.

"i'm not going to talk about how actions have consequences or how what i did was irresponsible or how this was all entirely my own fault and could have been avoided, but rather, i'm going to talk about how we should all focus less on me and more on how this is all arenanet's fault"

because she is using her very public twitter to vent, she seems to not be taking into consideration how arenanet could potentially sue her if anything she said happened to be false, or how potential future employers might google her, see this, and go "yikes"

Her chances to get a job after all that shitstorm were low enough, but I'd really love to see a company that would think hiring this trainwreck of a person after this is anything but a horrible idea.

Lots of crazies would love to fill up a patreon account in her name I'm sure.

Maybe, but that's not a job.

Professional victim is a demanding and difficult job you fucking mysognist.

There's a lot of veeja gayme companies run by dummies like her, even if they're not very successful.

Based on the last time this kind of thing happened, it'll last for about a year or so before her thirst followers realize she isn't going to become their internet waifu and everyone who isn't a sexual offender stops contributing.

Sadly, there are enough like-minded people in that industry that one of them will take her in. Worst case scenario she'll just make a living going to conferences and giving lectures about how horrible it is being a woman in an industry where women are held to the same standards as men.

Aria Richards is employed

She's already had job offers from "empowered womyn devs" or some bullshit like that

Any other industry I would agree with you, but the video game industry seems to have more than enough companies that would want someone like this.

I'm having a hard time decoding what her actual argument is. All she is doing is shifting the blame??? Saying that areanet is responsible for the hate because of how they worded it and basically saying they should not have fired her because now she's getting "harassed"? Lmfao. I mean, not really surprising, but yet I am surprised. Also not sure what I expected from her other then this.
Funny that she doubles down on the "he's an asshole" thing. Crazy bitch.

Tl;dr: Bitch is mad her employer made the first move and turned the community against her so she couldn't scream MYSOGYNY and immediately collect victimbucks.

She's also mad because the head of the company said she didn't work on very much anyways. And then something about how women lead.

She's really hung up on this idea that she was fired and argued with for being a woman and not for the fact that she's a fucking idiot.

All those soy boy white knight beta orbiters.

I don't think you know the meaning of any of those words

nah he's right

was just listening to Giant Bomb's podcast and I'm disappointed to report they are part of that soy boy crowd

couldn't even remotely take a step back and think "hmm maybe, just maybe, some of the blame is on the female dev for getting terminated"

They've been that way for years. How did you not expect that from them? Why are you still paying them any attention?

yeah, you're right they've been bad for a while

but I've only really started noticing it in the last year.

can't there be at least one group of game "journalists" that aren't a bunch of easily offended SJWs?

can't there be at least one group of game "journalists" that aren't a bunch of easily offended SJWs?

It's unfortunate, but it seems not.

Though I've never used game journalism sites like that to any real degree, so I don't have an issue with keeping them cut out of my life.

i've lost interest in all of them one by one. i like the idea of having a trustworthy source to get some opinions on new video games, but it seems like that's hard to find anywhere nowadays

One day she'll fuck one of them. Or at least send nudes. They hope.

The couple dudes on that tweet defending her a creepy as fuck lookin.. "love ya" "I got your back" etc. the only back they ever get is the back of their weird Chinese porno cartoon animal magazine page.

their weird Chinese porno cartoon animal magazine.

sir they're called kemono

Looks like it’s time for the mansplaining trolling gamergate gatekeeping anti women to come out and play. They were gleefully enjoying the firing from their basements I am sure as well as stoking the fires. Many of us hope you land on your feet Jessica.

GAAAAAAAAAMEEEEERRRRRRRGAAAAAAAAATTEEEEEEE

GRRR WHY CANT GABBAGOOL STOP DESTROYING WOMEN IN GAMING

<insert gamergate blaming comic here>

Surprised they didn't slip gaslighting in there

Everything in GW2 is made by a team. There's no content that's made by one person. But in terms of influence: the entire season is mine. I led the season story breaking meetings, I led the episode outlining meetings, and every line of dialogue went through me.

She sounds lovely.

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

The content is collaborative and you can't attribute credit to one single person, and also give me all the credit.

Us, but really me

There are a lot of sadbrains male feminists still sucking her dick

She's so naive if she thinks she can say whatever she wants on her personal twitter. She's still representing a company and anything she says will lead back to them. I mean, any retard that has had a minimum wage job can tell you this.

She might have had a point had she not had her Areanet position prominently displayed on her "personal" Twitter and kept the smug Twitter dunking relegated to stuff that wasn't a product of her own employer. Your boss isn't going to let you very publicly piss off their customer base just because you're off the clock.

you wrote story for an MMO, just take the L already.

She's not a developer, stop calling her that. She's a writer.

Not even that currently.

...which is a part of videogame development.

Seriously she is such a complete fuck up, why bother lumping retarded criticism on top of everything else?

Developers in this context refers to software development. Game developer seems to imply she did some engineering or architecting.

...which is a part of videogame development.

I'm a software developer. Calling someone who's not a software developer a developer is stupid. She's not a developer.

Anyone have a link to the areanet statement she keeps referring to?

dunno if i wanna trust someone in tech that would rather do 20 some odd tweets instead of one of those long form versions, or just a picture of text to piss people off trying to c-n-p parts of my missive

For some good spicy drama, check out this GB thread which is largely about the topic:

https://www.reddit.com/r/giantbomb/comments/8xuizg/giant_bombcast_540_sailor_bruno_mars/

THEY CAME AFTER GAMERS

She’s awesome and I hope she brings down all the male lolcow peepee idiots that think they get to lecture female game dev veterans with their thirsty “im just some harmless polite dude condescending to you, don’t get mad muh muh muh” this is so embarrassing for all gamer men. Take your vacation girl and everytime you think of these balless fools take a shot of alcohol.

If she thinks about them often enough....

I like your plan!

You fools tried everything to try and mess with me and next to me. You know you can't approach the REEEEEEEEEE!

ITS NEVER MY FAULT

This fiasco started with the abuse of a developer

lmao. These people are psychotic.

Oh, one more thing. Mike O'Brien's most recent statement reduces my contribution to GW2 to one scene from one episode. Given how often women's work is erased or minimized, that's especially egregious. So, for the record:

Everything in GW2 is made by a team. There's no content that's made by one person. But in terms of influence: the entire season is mine. I led the season story breaking meetings, I led the episode outlining meetings, and every line of dialogue went through me.

Everything in GW2 is made by a team except this thing that I deserve all the credit for

this was from the statement by Mike O'Brien:

"Whatever Jessica and Peter felt internally about the situation, this was objectively a customer engaging us respectfully and professionally, presenting a suggestion for our game. Any response from our company needed to be respectful and professional. A perceived slight doesn’t give us license to attack."

the idiot crying sexism doesn't understand this part i guess

Imagine being so far up your own ass that you think people give a shit that you wrote the insipid text that people click through so they can get back to killing palette-swapped wolves.

TLDR: I thought only white men could get fired for saying shit on their social media accounts. what gives?

Get owned by gamergate, bitch.

man i really have begun to hate the word "narrative" since all these jackholes constantly just use it to try to give some sort of strange legitimacy to their own story.

kinda like "lived experience" -- no shit, all experience is lived, you dumb motherfuckers

Yeah I made it through the first two Tweets and lost interest.

wew thats a lot of word salads and cock stroking. That being said it astounds me she's getting defended THIS MUCH. Like this one of the few times "dae feminnazis???" strawmans are actually in the right here.
