More of this kind of drama stuff.

I wish this kind of SJ crap would just stay out of video games.

@rtyu: You don't have to do anything directly to nexon to damage their reputation. You just have to, as a representative of nexon, be linked to a grotesque website that promotes misandry, child pornography and murder. This isn't simply a 'differing opinion'. It's misandry, child pornography and murder. Any company is subject to their paying customers, and if they cannot keep them happy they suffer the losses. If the majority of their paying customers hated the website, the only logical response is to put her on leave or sever ties with this actress in order to distance themselves from that website. And they were contractually allowed to do it (they only invoke the contract if they get sued),

So you're just going to deny the allegations and believe they are just a poor, down-trodden group of feminists fighting the patriarchy in Korea? Look at this declaration made by themselves. https://s4.postimg.org/8pe7099dp/1471322879817.png

That is the 'other' side. The only bias going on is the one in OP's article AGAINST nexon, the gaming industry and males of Korea. All you're doing is just muddying the waters at this point.

@sirkibble:
Honestly surprised me too.

And I think Nexon made the right choice, especially after seeing the organization she is linked to.

@rtyu:
Stop making excuses for terrible people.
Feminism does not have a good track record of being for equality. Most of what they do boils down to blind man-hating or whining about the most trivial of first world issues like "manspreading" or factually disprovable claims like the pay gap. I'm all for equality, but feminism is not the train heading to that station.

@rtyu: I already told you what their policy is, if they feel like an employee is damaging their reputation they can take necessary measures to rectify the situation, it's all in the contract they make with the employee. You're driving yourself into a dead end here, they either follow their policy and terminate her or they pick a side. If the latter, then they can pick their own player base or an organization that promotes misandry, child pornography and murder. It's a simple choice. Let me remind you that this website promotes misandry, child pornography and murder. It's not very hard to grasp.

@rtyu: Because the player base don't care about intricate details such as company policy. They see the controversy and they react. But even so, one of nexon's company policies is that if they feel an employee is damaging their reputation (whether intentionally or not), they are contractually allowed to change or terminate the agreement with their employer (in this case she wasn't fired but they're using her voice but not her name I think?). Same thing happened when someone from Apple posted negative comments online about their own product and Apple consequently fired that employee. They can't afford to simply deny the controversy and let it slide in the face of backlash. Personally I think they are in the right here. I mean would you take their side or the side of an openly bigoted website that funds false rape accusation?

@rtyu: The only question Nexon needs to ask is 'will I lose customers if I keep her'. That is all they need to know. Like he said it's not very complicated. One side is Nexon trying to sell their game and the other is an openly bigoted misandrist website that is known for facilitating criminal activity. There is really no need to trivialize it further, the liberal media is already jumping on this controversy trying to make it a hit piece about 'misogyny in the gaming community'.

A bit of info that was left out in that article. Her shirt was produced by an openly misandrist website.

https://np.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/4u5jbb/last_3_days_for_korean_manhwawebtoon_community/?context=3

"Examples of incidents they caused include spread of child pornography they produced with a little boy, celebrating the Korean War because so many men died, kindergarten teacher admitting that she was a pedophile (actively saying that she wants to f*** the little kids), filming the men's changing rooms/restrooms, poisoning their male bosses, sharing pics of mutilated penises, falsely accusing a webtoon author as a rapist, harassing many male authors in the industry etc. etc. etc. There's pretty much someone getting arrested weekly. (And yes. In Korea, you could sue someone online for the things they said and done online, even if it's anonymous). The said T shirt was created to fund legal costs for people who have been sued for their crimes on the website. Biggest one being covering the legal costs for the woman who falsely accused that one author of being a rapist."

Nexon made a wise decision to severe ties with her.

If you tweet/post anything related to femenist and sjw groups expect backlash.

@xtagg:

Employee of Nexon wore a Tshirt associated with a feminist group.
Nexon fired her.
Some fans complained about it. Nexon fired her over pressure from them, not because she violated any policy.

The article is bringing up gamergate and "women in tech" crap again.
I'm just so done with this kinda stuff.
