Guild Wars 2 studio fires two devs following Twitter exchange with streamer

[Mithan]

Her comments were stupid and petty, she behaved badly and she is obviously touchy. Turning it in to a female/male thing, which it wasn't, was also stupid on her part.

I do not agree with them being fired though, but I suspect their are some things going on inside the company that also lead to it.

She describes herself as a "howling maenad", that alone would make me avoid her.

It sounds like she was a ticking time bomb; taking a legitimate suggestion as an attack on her gender.

And then to top it off, saying "Since we've got a lot of hurt manfeels today" is a good sign that she is a difficult person to work with. I would be willing to bet that they've been looking for a good enough excuse to fire her for a while now...

She wasn't on the clock and it was her own personal account not related to where she worked. Being fired because some random gamer or content creator wants to simply chime in, is simply bs.

Next week, we will see a article where fans gets a coach fired because they would have called a better play. Come on man.

She associates her personal account with her work. That's a big no no if you're an *** online.

Bio from twitter

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

Lol at that bio. She sounds like a absolute bundle of roses. The sad thing is im sure she routinely sabotages her own happiness with that obsession with being "strong" etc etc. You only get one shot at life, might as well make it a happy one.

Nobody said she couldn't have the opinion. She wasn't forced to say anything on Twitter. She said it, she should own it. It's "her" PUBLIC space, of course, but the company also has the right not to associate with her because of what she does in said PUBLIC space.

For a person characterizing another's language as mansplaining, she sure uses a lot of gaslighting language, like when an abuser tells his or her abused, "Well, you made me hit you because of what you said." "Well, I just said these nasty things because this person provoked me." The unspoken rest of that is, "Because I can't control myself and therefore don't have to accept the consequences of my actions," I.e. an abuser.

You hit the nail on that, someon that gets it.

She sounds like an absolute delight to work with. Confrontational, condescending, forever looking for a reason to get offended (her Twitter bio alone screams "avoid"), including blowing up in a dude's face because he respectfully offered an opinion on something she posted on a public forum... oh, add "dumb enough to not know how social media works" to the list. Twitter is not your diary or your dinner party with friends, folks... people you don't know can and will butt in, and most of them won't even bend over backwards to be polite like Deroir did. Ugh. Great call to fire this nasty person.

Lol, that's basically a fancy version of "you say I'm a b**** like it's a bad thing".
Well, guess what? It is.

Seriously? It doesnt matter how much this woman knows about her job being rude to the CUSTOMER is out of bounds. And based on the thread he was not being rude to her.
And like a TYPICAL millennial she INSTANTLY played the misogyny card and started blaming the fact that she is female when she was called out. She obviously hasnt paid much attention to social media or she would have known that happens to EVERYONE regardless of "gender". It happens because there are no real repercussions for being an asshat. In fact the women are the biggest bitches on social media.
What a tool and good riddance.
