do you deliberately misread comments for fun? are you just looking to get upset about dumb shit? she told a player to fuck off for being an idiot in her menchies. youll get punished by management for hurting the feelings of customers even if they deserve it and even if its off company time and on a private twitter account. only through wilful misinterpretation could you come to the conclusion that i think there was an actual reason or cause to fire her
from a shithead point of view i can see why Price got fired (not saying that its right but youre not allowed to hurt the feelings of customers, who are delicate) but the guy who defended her could probably sue for wrongful termination if you guys do that in america
agree with this pretty wholeheartedly though i will pose the question "what about minecraft?" not until microsoft implemented Realms (which are controlled/moderated by end users but hosted by microsoft) were there developer hosted servers but one could argue that a similar toxic culture emerged in that playerbase
maybe we could point to the commodification of video game servers where minecraft servers are run by actual companies, now, often hosting game mods where players can pay to receive in game rewards?
fireworks are one of those weird things that people are fiercely protective of for what feels like no reason. any attempt at regulating or curbing the use of fireworks leads to a bunch of seemingly normal becoming dont tread on me freaks, screaming about the nanny state
i feel compelled to defend tumblr because the only difference between tumblr and twitter is that journalists and other people with social cachet (at least social cachet that exists outside of tumblr) (and i use that term for lack of a better one) use twitter
while i completely understand and more often than not agree with negative descriptions of tumblr i think that often the way people dismiss it is gendered/racialised/etc in the sense that people view it as the SJW den of iniquity, where modern thinking around gender/transness was birthed. and obviously there are bad takes coming out of tumblr but i feel like we dont have this perception of sites like, idk, reddit (which i feel people sort of perceive as sort of obnoxious home for reply guys but nothing worse than that) or like even in the last few years 4chan??? obviously this is all based on my standpoint as a person who uses some sites and follows some people.
idk what my point really is. i suppose i just want people to not dismiss tumblr out of hand, because in some ways, doing so backs up years of misogynist freakery around tumblr as this hellpit where the tendrils of cultural marxism creep into internet society
