Tidy up Tuesday #80

For those who personally dislike our stream redesigns aesthetically – please just say that instead of trying to justify your negative opinions with character lore.

Using Thermian arguments to validate your dislike of someone’s artwork is not a flattering look.

Regarding our reference to the Jessica Price controversy in last week’s throwback: Even if we believed that she grossly stepped out of line (she didn’t) or that Deroir didn’t mansplain to her (he did), or that Peter Fries firing proves it’s not about sexism (it does not) – we do not and will not support the actions and statements of Mike O’Brien, and by extension: AreaNet.

A couple days before that post we made a reblog about Mike Choi telling his critics to go fuck themselves and listed a couple other male professionals displaying similar behavior and keeping their jobs. That tells you everything you need to know about double standards in the industry and is, by far, the critical aspect of the conversation. 

For in-depth analysis of the Price case, we highly recommend this comprehensive Twitter thread by John Teasdale.
