Was an answer during Q&A and then presented on display as a talking point during their presentation for hiring practices. Which meant it was a premeditated comment.
Im a bit confused that a comments origin discrediting rape allegations being etched into a corporations hiring practices is viewed as "being a bunch of pussies".
The one using the term as a talking point during the presentation was a woman, Nancy Hilpert. Riot's Lead of Recruiting. I'm not sure why she wasn't upset?
Admittedly I don't really see a reason to get so upset with double entendre either. Especially when it's actually applicable; like in a case where being persistent paid off in Riot hiring the talent they sought.
You're such an idiot. Do you not realize you are that which you hate?
No, he is not a big baby. He is a real man who doesn't need to use horrible language to feel like more of a man. He knows who he is and he has enough confidence to walk away from a company because at the end of the day he values his beliefs more than a job. Clearly, the guy is an intelligent dude to be working for all these companies. Stop being a hater.
Come on, dude. Did you even read the article? He left because, and I quote:
Outside of those two meetings, no one else ever talked to me about that incident, including people I was close to who were on that email thread based on my email to Brandon. I had the strong impression that the incident was something we were never to speak of again. However, things clearly changed and began to get a bit weird. I realized my future at Riot was now limited and would need to start looking for something else.
This should be a professional workplace where people can come in and share their ideas to make the game as great as possible. Nobody wants to hear this shit all day, this guy just wanted to do his job. I know exactly how he feels because if you play games online this is exactly how guys talk. I guess I can't say I'm surprised considering how many males in the gaming industry and incels.
Ehh, I mean, I don't know. According to the article that's exactly what a lot of Riot employees want to hear all day. It was also enough to stunt Barry Hawkins' growth in the company when he spoke up and acted against it.
Regarding your first statement, though, if you think Riot would rather be worth billions or be a professional workplace, I guess we can safely say the choice they made wasn't the latter option.
