You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Pao might have skipped a step there, though.

And just a bit too close to falling on stereotypes.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

No, it's really just retarded redditors.

There are no Pao supporters, everyone has jumped on the "Pao is Mao" bandwagon

To tie this into GG and Anti-GG for a bit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction ... oria_is_a/

Randi claims that "Person that fired Victoria is a KIA member" turns out he only posted here in reference to him donating to Zoe and Anita.


PMSL.

Another example of anti-gg being not only shit with facts, but disingenuous hypocrits.

And now she's pirouetted into dismissing KiA and shaming him for responding to concerns.
Five minutes ago she was absolutely wetting herself with the thought of burning him as a "Gator"


So, we can safely tie this whole incident back into the SJW mindset. Doubtless, Victoria was fired for telling them to shut the fuck up about their feelz or something. (No, i'm not serious. But it is possible.)

SJWs running reddit into the ground.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

She's a sociopath. She doesn't want to deal with him, and he provides no benefit to her so she fired him

It wasn't that legitemate tbh, he was actually doing pretty well when she fired him and left his position open until he was well.

But you can't really tell them that. Those people are so self absorbed, they have their own gravitational fields which attracted even more self absorbed people so it ends up forming a black hole, where nothing except the sheer blackness of hate, vitriol and "my opinion matters" the only thing visible as all logic and sensibility is sucked into the unknown realm beyond.

The weird thing about it is, I was damn sure Tumblr was going to go this way much, much sooner. The sheer amount of "special snowflakes" orbiting around the red giant of self-importance surely must have reached critical mass by now.

Ellen Pao is going to be held up as the Feminazi Fuhrer for quite a while I'm afraid, and this is just an example of opportunistic feminist hateboner rants thrown into the bonfire.

Man, that took, like, what, less than 24 hours before the Asian stereotypes started rolling out?

Besides, she's more like Big Brother than anything, not Mao or Kim Jong Un.

As I have said before, this is why I don't care for most social media. It's just a hotbed of narcissism and ignorance.

Why not? I think it's hysterical.

A prominent Anti-GG member decided to try and tie this to GG, and in the process we discovered that nope, he's a fan of anita sarkeesian and such.

Suddenly, that prominent anti-gger decided that it was irrelevant and not important. Like you're doing.

No no guys, hold on, I think you were right the first time, this seems important, right?

You can either shut down the black hole, or do nothing/little and let it swallow up the site until it is nothing but a few mentions in the footnotes of Internet history. I do not think we can shut down black holes, so there is the other option.
Maybe miracles can be worked.

It has nothing to do with feminism though? The neckbeards of reddit are mad because Pao is ruining their favourite website to shitpost on
