Fan Communication (Gaming)

Not to bee too pedantic, but special treatment itself, the treatment of women as too delicate to take direct criticism, is patronizing and something that a lot of women I know dislike in criticism I previously provide them. Hence it being nebulous. But the phrasing, if it were directed at me, would likely be taken as condescending at best. Especially when one suggests that a disagreement with the core supposition of a statement is an over-emphaitically-minor disagreement.

Regardless of external history I would still consider the gender-coded language choice to be questionable. And a reaction to it definitely not a firing offense regardless. I won’t go so far to suggest a male developer would have been let off more lightly, but the volatility in gaming against women in general is still pretty rampant and it sets a worrisome precident.
