He's very clearly talking about celebrating people losing their jobs, and does so without saying anything super crazy.

Full quote

I rarely post on social media, but today I am sad. Ashamed and sad.

The gaming industry is rough at the moment, we all know it.

But seeing how "gamers" react on social medias, wishing ill-fate to companies and people alike is sad. (And not only towards Ubisoft)

Even though it is always the vocal minority that express themselves on social media, I was hurt, hurt and ashamed to be a part of this community.

What is even more revolting, is coming on Linkedin and seeing the same comments from people within the industry.

On top of exposing yourself as a clearly non-decent human being, you are affecting thousands of employees that are already impacted by all the hate despite doing their best to deliver incredible experiences.

How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the product does not please you is beyond me.

We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down.

Sounds sorta like victim-shaming...

What does this even mean? What victims? Clearly you don't mean the victims of harassment campaigns.

No matter what he meant, he sounds like he's trying to paint the people with legitimate gripes about the way he handles the company as the harrassers when he is a huge driver of the problem.

It's like Republicans complaining about the quality of current public schooling and blaming 'woke' policies when they've been the ones cutting school funding for decades, and they know it. It's feigned concern.

So what you're saying is you're victim blaming the people the director here is expressing sympathy for?

There is a huge harassment campaign based around flagrant racism, and there are probably some racists who are more excited to attack ubisoft because it's a shitty company in general, but that's just icing on the cake when the main content is racism and someone who doesn't have a horse in that race isn't going to be involved in the same way.

Nope. You aren't getting my point and I don't feel like explaining it any further.

[–] GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It sure seems to me like you're trying to find a way of talking around the racist harassment campaign like the author in the OOP does. Really makes you think.

It sure seems to me like you're trying really hard to paint me as a racist. You can fuck right off with that bullshit.
