-Price didn't get fired for being a woman.
-There was no "mansplaining" nor any sexism in ANY tweet directed at her up to the point she went off.
-What happens after you act in a shitty manner doesn't absolve you from the repercussions of said shitty behavior.
-Her trying to make this issue about being a woman and turn it into a sexism debate, and doubling down on it afterwards, is really disgusting, but it's not surprising given how many ignorant people immediately jumped to her defense without knowing what actually happened. And that includes many in this thread trying to play 'tales from their ass' with the events and people involved.
The fact is Price got fired because of her (repeated) awful behavior on Twitter.
And don't give me this, "it's her personal space" bullshit. She was following up an AMA discussion about and talking with customers of GW2. She wasn't talking about some unrelated tv show or political stance. She was literally in a discussion about her job. She wasn't fired for her ridiculous Infinity War rant, she wasn't fired for the many times shes been outspoken about social issues, she wasn't fired for having thoughts or opinions. She was fired for her attacks on ANet customers while discussing an ANet product.
I want to know where some you people work where you can name drop your company, talk about your companies products, talk about what you do at your company, and then repeatedly insult your customers and keep your job. I have to sit through quarterly social media training because people are too stupid to realize that putting an "opinions are my own" disclaimer on your Twitter account amounts to nothing. When you out yourself as an employee of a company, and talk shop, it literally stops becoming your personal space and you can be held accountable for things that will negatively impact said company. It's basic "How to keep your job in the internet age 101," stuff.
Because, unlike her, we have nothing to go on with his firing. You don't know that he was fired for "merely defending" her. Maybe he said something after tge fact, or maybe he tried to pull the old "if she goes, i go" and they felt getting rid of him was better than keeping her?
Uutil they come out and say exactly what happened we will never know. She made it easy, there is a very public record, his firing is obviously more complicated.

Now let's say you're a senior employee that has been with the company since the earliest days of its existence.
And you get fired for merely defending the employee in your story. Why don't you explain this? And why do people constantly ignore that an extremely senior developer got the axe for something incredibly petty?
