Except she wasn't a bigot, has shown no hatred towards anyone and was actually good at her job.

In this case, it quite literally a difference in opinion.

Imagine being randomly fired over something that has nothing to do with how well you do your job?

Stop the throwing around "woke" out of context like you know what it means, stop defending fascists, and stop pretending it's a "difference of opinion".

What the **** is wrong with you

Unhinged much? Quite the ideological blanket you've made for yourself.

The word Fascist has no meaning anymore because of people calling wolf like you.

same question too you.

JK Rowling is right, and that is why she is making money, and the game is making money, and woke loosers are crying themselves too bed. deal with it

Fired for “wrong-think”.

It started as “we just want to get married and be left alone”, and now it has evolved into “you are trans-phobic for not dating a transgender and banning them from women’s sports”. Virtue signaling for .01% of the population.

Well, look at the current administration. Biden’s cabinet is made up exclusively of hand-picked LGBTQ+ members who are placed in high up US Government positions. And the track record shows they are terrible at their jobs. The message is pretty clear. They were only picked for being LGBTQ+, instead of picking the best man or woman for the job.

I seen that the “Miss Nevada” winner last year was actually a biological male who had become “trans-gendered woman”. Then just this week, Hershey’s released a “Her-She” edition of the candy bar in honor of International Women’s Day, but the commercial they made for it was of a man and it will be his face on the wrapper of the “Her-She” bar… I think it’s pretty insulting to real women.

This is why we can’t get away from politics, it’s everywhere now, from TV shows to candy bars

And now they’re actually making video games where you can shoot “terfs.” Um, how is that any less controversial than “Hogwarts Legacy”?

All I'm waiting on from LRG is the Blade Runner PS4 set. Once that shows up, I can very likely wash my hands of them 100%.

I suppose they could always release something to draw me in, but at this point it's going to have be something that I'm a very specific collector of. Like this Blade Runner set...

Yeah, it must be tough nowadays for companies trying to be on the “right side of history” by virtue signaling, seems to be what their sponsors dictate. Remember not that long ago there was a State Farm Insurance commercial some guy on the phone and his wife grabs the phone to see who he’s talking to, the wife says “she sounds hideous”. Then the husband responds “well she’s a guy so…”. Seems like that kinda thing just simply wouldn’t fly anymore, it would offend someone, they’d get called out on it for sure.

oh wow.... I remember that commercial. Yeah, they'd be cancelled or would have had to issue some sort of apology 'unaware we were offending people' or whatever if that **** was released today.

A little of crossover, but the employee that was fired from Limited Run games just for not being woke is now hired and working for the Rippaverse!

Awesome! Eric just keeps winning and I love it.

Ostro was misgendered and deadnamed in the Super Mario 2 instruction manual, before that was even a thing lol were those words even in the dictionary back then? It appears someone at Nintendo in 1988 had either the “right idea” or the “wrong idea”, depending how you look at it.

I remember this used to trip me out as a kid and thought it was kinda funny I was like “what do they mean he thinks he is a girl?!”. I had no idea what a transgender was at the time.

However in the Mario cartoon they actually did make the character female. Not sure though if the character was ever officially declared trans? Cause “they” have been in a few more games after that.

It is still funny.
And I wonder, where actually this crap about Brirdo came from?
