Games distributor Limited Run Games has fired their community manager, seemingly over public outcry for who they follow on Twitter.

“LRG respects all personal opinions, however we remain committed to supporting an inclusive culture,” the company said. “Upon investigating a situation, an employee was terminated. Our goal as a company is to continue to foster a positive and safe environment for everyone.”

One of the users the ex-employee Kara Lynne followed, Ian Miles Cheong, claims it was due to her following both him and the other notable account LibsofTikTok. Both accounts are kind of notorious online for stirring the pot yes, but a fire-able offense to follow them?

Absolutely not. From the looks of it, it all started after a witch-hunt of sorts started a pressure campaign that caused the company to cave and remove the employee from their roster.

There are other claims that Lynne was fired for publicly expressing her excitement to play the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy, which some users now consider “transphobic” due to Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling taking a hard stance in favor of biological women.

Limited Run Games removing their community manager is a mistake and will only embolden these types of people. They see the blood in the water and will never stop, and will never be satisfied enough to leave you alone.

The same kind of outrage campaign on social media from the same people that led to Kara Lynne being fired also led to Night in the Woods developer Alec Holowka seemingly killing himself. Limited Run Games is ironically selling his game right now, years after his death.

Another recent outrage campaign was directed at this year’s MAGFest where organizers posted “Kotaku’s Journalistic Integrity” on a floor sign, noting it’s in “404”, a joke that their journalistic integrity is missing. Limited Run Games contributor Frank Cifaldi and others kept screaming about GamerGate, for some reason. The sign has since been removed.

Here’s hoping that cooler heads will prevail and that maybe taking crazy people who are constantly online, at their word, might have been a bad idea to entertain in the first place.
 
I regret buying Night in the Woods now. I enjoyed it when I played it ~2 years ago, and I also bought it in a bundle so I didn't really give them much, but I still regret it. I'm just glad I didn't buy anything else from them.

Whelp, another company to put on my colossal boycott list that I now have to CTRL+F through before buying anything.
Two years ago? I wonder why you bought it to begin with when Scott Benson has always been a huge commie asshole and was a primary actor (more so than Zoe Quinn, I think) in driving Alec Holowka to suicide.

I don't really pay attention to the goings on of game studios. I didn't know Celeste was a tranny game until another Kiwi pointed it out to me yesterday.

It was retconned into one; the dev made something decent, it got popular, then decided that climbing a mountain is their journey to cut their dick off somehow.

It's really sad. I played about half of it, and I thought what I played was really fun. It got too hard for me, so I put it down, and in the timeframe between now and when I quit playing, the developer decided to shit all over it.

if there's one non-cringe thing that can be said about the pony show it's that they basically made a cartoon version of Crazy Eyes from Mr. Deeds and named it Derpy Hooves. solid gag. the fact that the show creators felt the need to "fix" the character to make it less offensive at the behest of adult men who watch it is the one of the most complete and brutal damnations of any show and its fandom in modern history. all the original people involved with the show must feel incredibly cursed
Oh, it's stupider than that. Derpy Hooves originated as a background character who, due to an art mistake, had a lazy eye. The internet noticed and she became popular, despite only existing for a couple frames. The writers heard about this and liked it. So MUCH later she got a small cameo scene. Due to an apparent miscommunication, she was cast with a male voice actor. The usual suspects bitched about this, saying that the show was making fun of tards. The scene was redubbed for future broadcasts, and the part where she was specifically called "Derpy" by another character was cut out.

A fun, harmless little easter egg was ruined by faggots Karening all over it for no reason.
 
Hopefully they fire MVG next.

I want more free in-depth YouTube videos explaining outdated assembly language techniques delivered by someone who looks like a Dickensian chimney sweep/convict.
 
just to be clear does the new harry potter game have tranny death or is it like cyberpunk 2077 all over again
According to Kotaku it's got 888 niggerdeath.
Unfortunately for would-be defenders of Hogwarts Legacy, the plot description for the open-world action RPG game as we know it so far involves your character quelling a goblin rebellion that is aligned with dark wizards, which raises the possibility that you’ll effectively be filling the role of a magical cop, keeping down those who are fighting for a more just and equitable society.
 
Well shit, I actually bought a CE from 'em a while ago (Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time to be precise) and they occasionally put out physical editions of games that I may or may not be interested in. I guess I'll have to buy those games digitally from now on.
I never liked them because their business model is pure FOMO (even if the game has a digital release); and I find it on par with scalpers and those companies that rate things while sealing it in an airtight container. Shit that just drives prices up for everyone else. This is just another scoop for the shit sundae.
To be fair they've gotten better in that department, games now have a open preorder window of one month and that often includes their CEs unless said CE comes with certain collectable items and you can occasionally find the standard editions at Best Buy.
 
Jesus fuck, what is wrong with these people?

Just because you read something or follow someone on Twitter doesn't mean you agree with everything (or anything) that person said.

I look at Free Republic every day and I have for 20 or so years just because I enjoy getting some ideological diversity in my diet. Doesn't mean I'm a 95-IQ tradcath boomer who is scared of vaccines, Jewish space lasers, and any website programmed after 1999.

"We like diversity as long as the person agrees with us 100% and never wanders off the ideological rez."

Fuck this gay earth.
They want absolute control over everything, and any chance that anyone else could even develop opinions that contradict them must be eliminated.
 
Would've taken them 5 seconds to find out the "person" bitching about this was pedo apologist hated by every fandom he has been it.

But nope, lets obey what a literal nobody has to say.
I regret buying the one game I have from them now
Honestly can't believe people are paying for boxed editions of today's shitty games.

Like I would understand wanting a boxed reproduction of a classic that's worth a fuckton of money so you can't even get it to fucking playing it as intended, but paying 85 bucks for a copy of a shit game like nights in the woods? nigga what you doing...

With all the creepy crap that happens to MLP, the loud house and every new post-Steven Universe Cartoon Network shows, adult fandoms. That somehow Bluey hasn't given us a new Chris-Chan yet, despite all the adults watching the show. Especially with all the journalists attacking Bluey for bandit being too conservative and not being racially diverse enough. As well all the Disney Bluey censorship. Even early on, I have seen people predict Bluey adult fans would become the next Bronies. Bluey still lacks all the drama of a modern American cartoon. Even with online fandom. Bluey autism is pretty mild compared to MLP, sonic the loud house. I don't know why that is.

god fuck, don't remind me that people were actually crying tears of pain that a kid's cartoon about dogs didn't have black humans
you could literally have a story set on another planet with non-humanoid aliens and people would still scream "where da blacks at"
every story needs to stop partway through and have a black guy walk on stage and go "hello, i am a black person" and walk off
