Yikes, oof and all that.
John Gibson
@RammJaeger
President - Tripwire Interactive

Proud of #USSupremeCourt affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat. As an entertainer I don't get political often. Yet with so many vocal peers on the other side of this issue, I felt it was important to go on the record as a pro-life game developer.

Misogyny in the industry takes many forms.

Probably another one of those who supports the 2A but doesn't support the US Constitution when it's used to protect the rights of women.

Funny that

Any citizen can sue anyone they think helped a woman get an abortion after 6 weeks

Literally any random stranger can just file a lawsuit and is entitled to at least 10k if they win

I am SURE certain sector of the gaming base will deride him from getting political. I am sure.

Also, fucking shame, got a lot of fun with Maneater

Proud of John Gibson coming out that he is a misogynistic piece of shit and saving me money as I will never purchase a game by his company again.

This asshole actually thinks he's brave or some shit expressing his dogshit view. Good for you, you bitch ass motherfucker. Love when dudes wanna say shit about reproductive rights.

At least the comments are overwhelmingly shitting on him.

Years and years, countless hours putting into Killing Floor 1.

I might have actually talked to this man before at an E3.

That conspiracy theory DLC for Man Eater might be an indicator that Trip also got some Q going on in there.

Just...fuck.

What a disgrace. Hopefully some of the devs there dare to publicly disagree with this awful take, without having to be afraid of their job.

Not this guy trying to tell women what they should be allowed to do with their body.

The south truly is the WOAT.

I know this is a nothing connection because entertainment doesn't have to be related at all to personal beliefs you hold, but it's pretty fucking ironic to read the president of a company that publishers games such as Killing Floor and Maneater being pro life.

Anyway he has a right to put out there his opinion and I have a right to no longer buy shit from that company for supporting such a fucking backwards and misogynistic move in Texas to control women and punish people for services that may be helpful to them.

Surprised he posted this while he's at PAX west in person. Guess he wanted to kill off any connections before meeting people

What goes through their head when thinking about tweeting stuff like this? I mean how dare people try to dictate to anybody what they do and don't do with their own health and body. The mind boggles.

So brave to support the timeless tradition of depriving women of agency over their body. Good to know though.

Typical fence sitting motherfuckers that think differing opinions is always a good thing.

Really upsetting. I loved Tripwire's work. Maneater was the first dev interview I got to conduct on my own for the podcast I'm on. I will not be supporting them anymore.

It takes guts to stand up and actively say "please don't purchase a game from my company ever again."

The absolute prick.
