">This is my personal account. I always say as much. I’m not a spokesperson, I left the PR game years ago now. You don’t get fired for calling someone an asshole. You don’t get fired because a mob twists it to fit their own narrative. You get fired for slurs and isms."
Okay, but why are you representing your company, position, and linkedin in your bio and to top it off you have a blue checkmark meaning you're a verified representative of Blizzard. You don't get to hide behind this excuse because your credentials are concrete.
>That said, I get it. People don’t like the way a video game went. Ok. But a whole group pissing on trans people with transphobic slurs, and then taking it out on someone who supports them in some screwed up white knight scenario is really just a new level of false equivalency.
I don't know if you're socially retarded or if you're deliberately misinterpreting the nuance of the response to your demeanor in hopes that people take it at face value and move on thinking there's a moral obligation to GTFO from your account, but allow me to explain this to you like you're a 5 year old since that what you're playing pretend to be. When you are officially representing a professional entity like Blizzard with concrete credentials in your bio implying you're someone to contact for either criticism or fan feedback, it's expected by the general public that you conduct your interactions with customers in that way. Calling one of your most prolific streamers a vulgar slang, which is already a bad idea in of itself for reasons we'll get into later on, is very unprofessional and very uncalled for and yes, you can get fired for misconduct because it makes your company look bad.
Let's talk the other piece of nuance you're allegedly misunderstanding here; you supported a tranny streamer to essentially call for a lynch mob in FFXIV because that person, and presumably you, was clearly in bold text calling for it by asking his followers and other XIV players to stalk and report any infraction he makes which would cause him to get banned and never be able to play again. Dodging this allegation with "well gamer words were thrown around! I had to stand up for this person!" is a bullshit reason because not once did you make mention of this until backlash started to accumulate.
Lastly, and this is probably the most important given your company's current situation, Asmongold is one of the most, if not the most, prolific streamer on WoW's twitch category. Regardless of your personal opinions on his conduct or his views, driving away your promoters is something I would strongly advise you not to do given that WoW is currently collapsing with the playerbase gravitating towards XIV. Actively attacking and making vulgar statements against your promoters is going to drive them away and never come back and your shithole company will turn into an even bigger shithole because where that exposure resides will move with them when Asmongold finds another game to play. Hell, look at what happened to Bellular and the amount of bitching that guy has done about WoW and his thoughts and feelings about FFXIV, is that what you want your streamers to do after you decided to post this tweet? Also think about the splash damage that'll do to other streamers where they'll see what's happening to Asmongold and eventually walk away because they generalize your statements against with him with how you feel about other streamers and content creators. And trust me, with how your company is, I don't think telling your customers to fuck off is a good idea at all.
>I don’t care at all that some streamer played a different game — y’all made that up in your head. I had no idea about that even, and my tweet, nor the tweet I was replying to, was about that. It was about a Twitter friend getting piled on with discrimination.
Sorry did I dream that statement that tranny furfag made in his tweet? Also at no point in your tweet did you address or comment on the backlash they were getting, so no, this lie will not work on me.
>So in response to calling someone an asshole (one tweet): - locked out of my bank because people trying to get in - threads and a few hundred tweets calling for me to be fired
You must be a pathological liar who has lied so many times in his life to get out of situations by playing the victim it's really starting to show. So let me, again, explain this to you like you're five; bank accounts require a username to access and that, and I feel no sympathy for you if you make this public knowledge, is usually not known or even guessed by the general public. They also require SMS codes or verification in order to access meaning that even if people wanted to access or lock you out of your account, they would have pass the second step anyway which would result in spam calls or texts or emails. How do I know this? Because I have a fucking bank account which you seem to think others don't considering you think people are going to believe this horseshit.
But if you want my personal analysis on what's really going on here Adam, here's how I really feel; you're a narcissistic egomaniac who thinks his position as Blizzard means he's god and you flaunt this on your personal account and you decided to throw a punch to a streamer you didn't like. When people threw punches back, because let's be honest, it's human nature, you got pissed and anxious because you didn't know how to take all of it and you thought you were far above criticism. So you locked your account because you were freaking the fuck out that you actually got consequences for your actions and afterwards you decided to make a post victimizing yourself and manipulating people into leaving you alone or creating sympathy. You're clearly a person who has never had to deal with consequences before and let bigger people do all your work for you and everytime you threw punches or talked shit, you just bitched out and pretended that you never said them. You're a joke Adam. You always have been, and you always will be.
