General gaming discussion

She joined LRG in November 2020, the Tweet was made in 2016. So it is her own account and is unconnected to the LRG Twitter account or her job.

Looking at her twitter feed it's all very nice stuff she posts, games she is playing, friends she is meeting, and what tv she is watching. Occasional mention of LRG like saying it has been two years since she started and she likes it.

I was going from memory from a quick Google of what I found yesterday just to see what the post made was referring to, but I didn't pay too much attention to what was said by who or when. So yes, I got the details wrong in my general recollection, but I don't think it's that completely different either, the general gist is the same. And I think it was somewhat of an over-reaction on all their parts.

But yes I think you purposefully tweeted at Sterling because you were trying to point out perceived hypocrisy, given that Sterling is a member of the trans community and hadn't commented on the story.

Bring back the thunderdome or duke it out in an arcade.

They don’t have to do it beforehand - do the interviews, get a shortlist of preferred candidates and then review their socials as part of the final decision process. Shouldn’t really take that long then and I really think if you’re going to allow someone to represent you online that it should be a requirement.

I’d also argue that she broke faith with the employer if she hasn’t tweeted anything anti-trans since working there. She might have even forgotten that she had tweeted about it and should at least have been given a chance to apologise.

Wow. Just wow! "Right wing nutcase" "evil disgusting human". You get that from Kara? It's her personal Twitter account. She didn't post anything bad.

"Tweets don't reflect the views of my employer."

North Carolina is an at-will State, meaning they don't have to give you a reason, they can fire you just like that and you can't sue for wrongful dismissal.

RUN! RUN PIXELBURP! SAVE YOURSELF! IT'S TOO LATE FOR US, BUT YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE! RUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Oh yeah. Some of us are old enough to have received invitations to Lemon Party, or recipes for Blue Waffles. Compared to these libsoftictok is nothing.

*don't search, just don't.*

I didn't know Sterling is trans/non-binary now. Just a disclaimer before anyone jumps down my throat for saying Jim.

Yeah, came out maybe 2 years or so ago. Also an amateur wrestler now in the UK. To be honest I don't watch as much of their videos now as I used to, but just because they became fairly repetitive and unnecessarily longer (so therefore repetition within the videos themselves, not just repetition of topics). Feels like they do less of a deep dive into the topics by discussing or researching things, and instead just rant a bit more. But fair play to them, they seem a lot happier in general and seems to be doing really well with the amateur wrestling.

They have pointed out on Twitter a lot previously that the majority of positive videos they do get less than half the views of the negative ones, and so they'd do the occasional positive one but just had to veer more towards the negative ones. It's why I began watching more Jimpressions videos instead, as they'd usually be playing/reviewing a game they wanted to play and enjoyed rather than just complaining for 15 minutes that Randy Pitchford said something. But even the Jimpressions videos fell by the wayside as Sterling began focusing more on the wrestling stuff. Even the Jimquisition videos often start or end with clips from their wrestling performances now.
