So Mike Mearls whose entire job depends on people buying his products decided to swing a massively broad brush and insult 90% of his customer base because of the actions of a couple percent of his customers?
Mike Mearls, you didnt just FAIL at customer relations, you EPIC FAILED.
Do everyone a favor and stay off Twitter, your offensive.
No, using "your" instead of "you're" is offensive. Yes, I am a grammar nazi.
But seriously though. You think you insulted 90% of his base with that tweet? Bwahahahaahahaha. There's lack of perspective, and then there's lack of perspective.
*Edit. I take that back. THIS is pretty offensive as well:
Also, it can make you angry.
I worked IT in the mid to late 1990s. During that time period the IT industry was easily 90-95% men. That is just who went into the industry back then. The company I worked for won an award for diversity because 50% of our IT workforce was women. That pissed me because I knew based on how the company paid (compared to other companies) that women were being hired for how it looked, not how effective they would be at their job.
Does that apply here? I have no idea. If she is qualified to do her job that is awesome and I look forward to seeing her impact on future products. If she was hired because it makes WOTC look progressive and diverse (which no one will ever be able to prove one way or another) then the people that hired her can rot in hell for being PC morons. Either way it is not her fault and I hope she does a wonderful job in her new position.
The very fact that you're even questioning the motives on this hire proves in spades exactly what white male privilege is, and why it's so toxic. The thing is, is that I bet you don't even realize how offensive you're being. You don't question when a man gets hired. But you assume or at the very least ponder on the qualification when a woman does. That is textbook sexism. I don't expect you to admit, but it's literally the definition. Rarely does one who acts like a bigot think they are actual bigots.
