Wow you can actually get rid of a CEO like that?
Thats a shame. John is a good guy.
Well, don't use Twitter I suppose.
Yep. If you have any right wing leaning views you're basically Hitler. Hell look what happened to the FNAF guy.
I've worked with him professionally a number of times. He honestly is a lot more even keeled than the one tweet would lead anyone to believe, but that's the case of just about anyone who tweets views the Twitter userbase disagrees with nowadays. Not endorsing his views by any means, just sad that he has to deal with this for expressing one viewpoint publicly. Even though he probably knew this would be the result when he did it.
Except in this case, it's not some social justice warrior esoteric line being crossed and them getting riled up.
The dude is supporting a hideously draconian and punitive anti-abortion law, that any sane person cannot justify support for.
People are free to hold and voice whatever opinions they want. Guy could have lived the rest of his life happily telling friends and family how much he loves it when the GOP keeps persecuting women. He made a conscious choice to put it out to millions of strangers using his personal Twitter account knowing it would reflect on the company as well.

imagine having such a skewed moral compass your sympathy and outrage go towards the guy publicly promoting barbaric, immoral legislature and not the the victims of it
guess those women should have been better at developing videogames if they wanted support
I think it always hits different when its someone you know even if only on a professional level than a faceless entity. You can feel sympathy for the one you know losing a lot by expressing an opinion and for everyone affected by the consequences of what that opinion refers to at the same time.
Just learn to code.
I agree, he was asking for it bringing those opinions outside to the public, he should have kept that stuff in the house, I mean, why should other people be responsible for controlling their emotions when he's flaunting his views so openly?
Sarcasm aside, I don't understand why anyone in a position of power even uses Twitter for anything but pure business, and its super hard to feel sympathy for anyone in the firing line. Like, damn, Social media in general is just a time bomb waiting to happen no matter how many eggshells you walk on, even shit you say 20+ years ago can be brought up and you'll be hanged for it, context be damned. There is so very little benefit to subjecting yourself to it and all the risk of just being the target for another flock of Karen's wanting their rush of adrenaline for taking down a "big guy" before they go back to getting day drunk on wine and pretending their "punching up" lynch mobs are having a positive impact on our crumbling society.
I mean expressing approval of a pretty draconic(thats absolutely not the right word Im thinking of and Im not googling it) and heavily religiously influenced anti-woman law isn't exactly a hill I would die on though. Never understood the "Ban abortions" side of the debate myself, always been pro-choice, but I imagine religion has a heavy hand in the concept as I don't think simple morality should see a problem in aborting something before it changes from a mass of cells into something we consider sentient.
Penetrating the right.
It's basically why I quit using my real life social media accounts. People online are now batshit crazy.
I'm not saying what he said was good, it was extremely stupid, however, we should be careful how we handle this type of shit, because what if some day in the future the pendulum swings and those in power are people whose views are what we now think of as wrongthink, then our thoughts will be the new wrongthink.
