His comments were horrible. No two ways about it. But it does seem like he actually made the effort to change and become a better person over the last 14 years. Normally I'm all for firing someone when they make these types of comments, but that's because they've usually never tried to be better until the comments go public.
I think EA should have used this opportunity to show people that if you change your ways and genuinely turn yourself around you can get a second chance. What they've effectively done is tell everyone that there's no point in trying to change because you'll end up with the same result anyway.
On top of that, his wife suffered a miscarriage due to the stress this has caused. What a terrible and sad situation.
Nah. He used to work for Riot and was fired for something similar. That's at least two jobs we know of where he was fired for racist remarks. If it quacks like a duck. Lol But hey third times the charm right?
If you're going to bring it up you should probably look up why he was fired from Riot. It wasn't for racism, quite the opposite.
It was when Riot was only allowing women and non-binaries to attend their PAX panel, everyone else would be allowed in afterwards. Klein supported it and called the people complaining manbabies. No racism involved.
Don't go spreading bs like that if you can't be bothered to get the facts first.
The only reason this dirt got released was because of how broken Seer is and his comments claiming something that wasn't true prior to his release. He's got a giant thread on kiwifarms even. There's a bunch of other humiliating dirt on him besides this, but it's not something you can get fired for. I don't agree he should've been fired if he changed since that point, especially since it was 14 fricking years ago, many players on Apex weren't even born then. To also have his wife suffer a miscarriage all because he can't balance a video game right is downright evil, but I doubt anyone involved in the firing would've ever wanted or expected that. Just a series of mistakes lead to this tragic outcome.
It's like why even bother improving or changing if people can just use anything you ever said in life as a grudge? The only thing I can rightfully say is to stay off social media or privatize everything from the get go so people can't use your words to start a forest fire that gets you fired.
i mean, I take that back, I think it was vulgar, and cringy, He's trying to be edgy and its cringe. his apology grossed me out more though. this is why you don't allow your income to be tied to anything under HR department.
Things like this are so stupid. This was 14 years ago. People change and for all we know this can come from someone in highschool. I cant believe someone can lose their job from something so minor. It was a different time and a different person. Grow The Fuck Up.
The internet is definetly an amplifier for stupid, he gave us a good example xD But damn, firing him after that much time, from a predatory company like EA :/
