Turns out Marty is a bigger scumbag than we already knew... (Destiny)

Let's assume it warranted firing, but no legal boundaries were crossed. Still, it's a shame.
Marty's love of using any Bungie-related situation to stroke his own superiority complex backfired when he looked to make the Barrett situation about himself.
Only for Lorraine Mclees to call him out.
I didn’t tolerate it. Which was why I held up the kitchen knife and told Marty to back off back in ‘99. Being in a Halloween costume didn’t make it ok to crowd in on the ladies and stroke their hair. He felt it was acceptable tho. Smh. Whiteboards? I was too busy to notice.

Apparently being a creep and making woman uncomfortable at a party was his idea of a great gag, and Marty proceeded to call Lorraine's negative memory of the event a "Mandela effect."
What a loser.
It's sad to see that even the beloved Bungie of yesteryear was never really free of the creeps.
I appreciate that. At the time, all we could do was laugh it off. It’s amazing what many of us had to put up with back then. And I am deeply disturbed similar things continue to happen. 🙁

I dunno. I feel like we've reached a point of... maturity? Where we are realizing (as a society and as individuals) that so much of what we used to laugh and brush off should not have been allowed to happen unchallenged, since it contributed to normalization of unacceptable behaviors and it emboldened those who would take advantage of the power it gave them.
Feels bad, man.
