And thus begins the ad hominem. Bets on when absurdo starts?

I don't think you understand what absurdo is...

Probably not, but I do understand "reductio ad absurdum". That was what you were meaning to refer to, yes?

Indeed.



Please see this post where it highlights why there is outrage. You should have read the thread in its entirety. Also, I did not say I was quitting, I was pointing out logical fallacies and showing that the outrage is not due to misogynistic reasons, but actual credible concerns.


Choices have consequences. If you wanted a job at the New York Times as a journalist, but bashed them as being nonfactual and tabloid journalists for years on end, you will most likely not get hired. They don't care if you're about to go on the street. No one does. That's the world we live in. No one is obligated to coddle or assist anyone, least of all businesses.


If she had got hired somewhere else, I wouldn't care. I don't follow her Twitter or...anything for that matter. Not my cup of tea. It is the fact that a rep, a face of Eve, is now someone who demonstratively dislikes Eve, its players, and the :grimdark: that makes Eve what it is.

She is a cute face that maybe will do some videos for Dust and attract the attention of undersexed boys in a manner similar to Nikasaur in League of Legends.

Lolwut?

You really think CCP won't do it? I would lay money on it.

[quote=Kumq uat][quote=Gallowmere Rorschach][quote=Kumq uat] Are you also a fan of Slavic schoolmarms?

It wasn't about that. I'll just say that your adjective shows questionable taste. Are you also a fan of Slavic schoolmarms?

Like I said, she is a 5/10. Cute, kinda average. Not hot or gorgeous or whatever.

... what a bloody nerd begotten sausage fest..

True. I sort of hope I'm wrong about the person. But I still worry about someone who doesn't like the game working for the game in any capacity. I mean look at other CCPers. They all love this game and dedicate themselves to it and make it insanely good. What happens when you throw apathy into the works though?

Like I said, hope I'm wrong.

Therein lies a lot of the problem. Those who don't get it now probably never will. Everything just looks like "he said/she said" to the newcomer on this topic, because she purged just about all of the evidence being held up against her. It's basically the equivalent of trying to prove someone guilty in court after they were allowed to ransack the evidence room and burn the contents.

I doubt she got the job by being apathetic about the game. Part of a company's hiring process is normally aimed at finding people who are enthusiastic about whatever they'll be involved in.

So, that's why GoDaddy hired Danica Patrick to represent their brand. It's her enthusiasm for their products..

/the more you know.

You think that those are equivalent roles?

Only in that both companies are exploiting "talents" other than product knowledge, or enthusiasm for the brand they are representing.

Oh, you were privy to CCP's internal decision-making? I'm intrigued - do tell more..

Yes, if I was her I'd phone in sick claim bulling, depression, off the record I'd just tell the boss that I'm just here for the cash, keep the cash flowing & the pension building & I won't cause any grief or sue.

Just put it to them straight. I'm a $50k per year liability just write me off as that, don't speak to me, write me or call me unless it's about my pay or pension. If you don't do this then I will get a lawyer involved which could cost you millions & even sink CCP.

I'm loving all the omega white knighting males in this thread. From what I've seen there is really not one piece of evidence that can back up CCP's actions on this decision, once again from what I have seen. Just because someone has a youtube channel full of videos that imo suck (I'm mean suck bad) does not make them gud enough imo. kil2 (CCP Rise) earned his position, not because of his gender (if that even matters but apparently it does in some circles) but because he contributed something tangible and productive. Everyone kissing a@@ just because needs to seriously quit and think with your big head, not the little one.
