Notably, one of those let go in December in Hasbro’s company-wide cost-cutting cull of over 1,000 jobs was D&D designer Dan Dillon. Dillon posted on Twitter—“Well. There it is. D&D is hiring a game designer, 8 months later. Was it worth it, you soulless f*****g cowards? Did you save enough money?”

I am sure I will get attacked for this but it is pretty telling about these forums when WoTC hiring leads to all this vitriol.

Coming from the person who in reponse to the universally-decried OGL crisis last year said "Waiting for all the angry people who nothing will ever be good enough for them to arrive" I don't think I'm that concerned.

She was wearing the wrong clothes, right?

Depriving somebody of their job might not be the same scale, but blaming the victim instead of the perpetrator is awful, whatever the situation. Can we not do that?

Oh yeah, let's compare firing someone (a perfectly legal action) with raping someone (a horrible crime)... That's healthy! He's not a victim, he's a worker that's no longer needed and was let go. Was it done at a horrible time at a horrible scale? Absolutely!

If you walk into the lions den wearing prime steak, do you blame the lion or the fool that walked in wearing steak and is now being eaten, cursing all the way. This is work culture (in the US). You can scream all you want against the storm to stop, but it won't.

Or maybe there's a valid point buried in there? Is that possible?

It’s so hard to tell anymore. Maybe but literally every thread involving WoTC whether it be about current events or game play decisions goes this route. So I am inclined to say no.

Yes.

 

[Morrus]

Yes.

Perhaps for you. Most folk don't seem to struggle.

Telling in what way? That several people here dislike WotC?

...huh.

I am not sure what one has to do with the other. I was just making the point every thread goes this same route.

Maybe actually writing the valid point, like with words, is a more productive response than posting a meme?

Seems like the same 10-15 people all the time. Wouldn’t count that as ‘most.’
