"They're super-terrible to work for and I've just coincidentally chose this period of the company's social implosion to quit and speak up. This is definitely not a bandwagon move. #metooLMG"
In a shocking plot twist, Gamers have no sympathy for an abused and/or manipulated woman.
Being a capital G Gamer is a mentality, not really about whether or not you play games.
I see, thanks for the clarification.
She quit 2 years ago.
So you don't have anything to say about the content of her statement, you're just offended by her offering it when it's relevant?
Not offended at all. This behavior is completely expected. Don't share your terrible experience until someone else is talking about how your post-employer misled their viewers, then pile on when it will get clicks.
Do you realize that this is simply how human interaction works? Of fucking course she felt safer telling her story when other people were already telling theirs.
I guess I fucking don't.
I don't know anything about any of these people one way or the other, but if you believe her account and just think the timing is opportunistic, then do you not also believe the part of her account that's in, you know, the bigger more noticeable font at the top that says, "To stop the speculation and DMs I'm receiving...".
As in, "I quit two years ago and didn't say anything about it, but now this is all over the news and a million people keep asking and/or assuming things, so I guess I should address it".
I absolutely do not wonder where you would have stood during gamergate - with the worst people fathomable.
I probably wouldn't have been standing at all, seeing as how I have no clue what "gamergate" is.
