Hollyhock: Totally not buying that.
That's like blaming the kid who got beaten up by some bullies because everybody knows what bullies do when you don't give them your lunch money.
real.geizterfahr: No, it's not. And your comparison is kinda stupid. Everyone knows how these Twitter retards tick. As a private person, you can use that knowledge to have some fun with them (saying harmless things, waiting for their reaction and then point out how stupid their predictable reaction is). But as the paid PR person of a company, you should simple stay away from them. That's like blaming the kid who got beaten up by some bullies because everybody knows what bullies do when you don't give them your lunch money.
Again: From a common sense point of view Linko did nothing wrong. But so-called SJWs and common sense don't go together very well. Their reaction was predictable and thus it wasn't smart to use that hashtag.
Hollyhock: The thing is, PC activists love to meddle in other people's businesses. They are not an unsentient force of nature that we are forced to be submissive to. They are people, and thus liable for their actions. When they do something right, we should praise them. When they cross the line and do something wrong, as bully Linko90 out of nothing, we should take a stance against them and support the guy.
real.geizterfahr: That's exactly what I said when I wrote real.geizterfahr: The bigger mistake is on GOG's side. Firing an employee over a non-issue (using a hashtag that means something else is kinda stupid, but a very common thing to do nowadays), just because the we're-blowing-things-out-of-proportion-warrioirs demanded it, only gave a group that shouldn't exist even more significance. They're internet trolls who found a way to affect peoples real lives. What they do doesn't help the cause they're supposedly fighting for. The world needs to wake up and show these punks what they are: nothing. Firing people because they demand it is the exact wrong way.
real.geizterfahr: My sense is that GOG likes doing things on the cheap, so I doubt that's the case.

If certain peeps would tone down their snobbery, the friction would likely dissipate rather quickly. o.O

I see GOG deleted the other thread about this topic that was more directly focused on them caving to the perpetually offended yet again. Maybe it's time to stop buying from GOG...

I think you're reading too much into that. I think this thread would've been locked too if it wasn't for the fact that it is meant as goodwill gesture to one of their co-workers, which probably makes his co-workers happy. I am surprised it's managed to survive this long though.

Sure. And if certain peeps wouldn't turn every second thread into their own political battlefield, this forum would be a much better place and there would be no need to close down or delete threads.

Bring Linko90 back. He did nothing wrong. Don´t cave to the always offended mob. They don´t care about games, they just want attention. Stop caving.
