This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

If anyone needs me, I'll be soaking in a nice bubbly hot-tub of schadenfreude as this unfolds. Paizo and its "supporters" have been insufferable holier-than-thou SJWs almost since day one. This is a perfect example of how anyone who is trying to run a business cannot let EVEN ONE of those freaks into their company. Sure it takes time, but this is the inevitable outcome.

I know she worked on video games for Microsoft before she was at Paizo.
I highly suspect she was canned by them as well, although I have no evidence for that.

Price can go fornicate the devil.

She's responsible for cancelling Frank Mentzer for the crimes of being old, unattractive and socially awkward.

Grovel, you dirtbags. You reap what you sow.

I love how the responses below the post are 100% SJW shark pack attacks. Once you degrade and drive out the normal people, that's what you are left with.

Guild Wars 2. That's where I learned of her.

Funny, re-reading about her firing from Arena.net, the similarites that start popping up.

First post out of the gate: "You should step down even if you are innocent." ::)

This reminds me of something I read back when Lindsay Ellis (*) was cancelled: if your main supporters are woke/SJWs, they will be the first ones who bury you.

(*) Whose videos I always liked, BTW.
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

I find watching Lindsay Ellis a bit like watching a horror film. She says a bunch of smart insightful stuff, I'm nodding along contentedly, then she says something Absolutely Horrific (but SJW-compliant). She had a long video on the history of using the Nazis in humour, lots of goods points ...and wrapped it up with:

"And that's why Mel Brooks is allowed to make jokes about the Nazis, but you aren't."  :-X

Same. It never occurs to some of these idiots to say, 'Look, she's a bitch. She did it to herself.' She didn't get fired because she was a woman. She got fired because she was stupid.

Deroir's commentary wasn't offensive, derogatory, condescending, or rude. But because Price is an insecure little girl at heart, she immediately goes ballistic. And she got burned for it because Deroir wasn't just 'some rando' as far as ArenaNet was concerned.

Yeah, I like her in general, but her level of self-awareness in the situation she's in is very low, at least publicly in what she presents.  Fun fact, I know someone who knows Lindsay and did art for her Transformers Fanfics back in the late 90's early 00's

That thread is the perfect picture of SJWs doing their Cannibalism among their own. Seriously, like every post in there is the script they operate by.

As for Jessica... she's clearly got mental issues, but so do most of these idiots. Look at them go!

I like the quote from Jeff Alvarez (apparently this was on Discord)

Quote
Its fine folks, its a serious matter. I can't talk about it, tbh, but I support you all voicing your thoughts and concerns. If you feel the need to remove me from this community, for your safety, I respect that. I have nothing but good will and respect for all of you. And while I can only deny the things said about me, it is impossible to prove a negative. As for the other issues, they are serious and we are having a lot of serious discussion internally about them. I am using my place in the company to push for a better paizo every day and will continue to do so. Thats about all I got here... carry on.

Which reminded me of Kevin Bacon in Animal House while he's getting inducted into his fraternity. "Thank you sir may I have another?" Ugh. Spineless.

Any company that hires J. Price is shooting themselves in the foot.

In the larger picture - I'm glad this is happening.

Paizo needs to see wallow in the shitpool they helped create. And these shitpool-monsters will soon need to realize that a "Company" is a bad choice to use as a moral compass. I particularly scoff at the many posts in there about how horrible the pay is, because they live in Seattle. As if the company is responsible for your lifestyle. (as a sidenote... if they're making south of 30k/year today? That's pretty bad considering I was making more than that freelancing  for Paizo and others "for fun" during the early 00's while working my day-job at Microsoft. This shows you what little work-ethic these morons possess).

These mentally infantile adults are in for a world of pain as reality descends upon them. I doubt their capacity to deal with it.
