Here's a question: did anyone see any examples of Twittard seething which dated to
before Zaion's suspension?
Because what galls me the most is that third bullet point about "insensitive jokes". There are several possibilities, and the ones which have been suggested in this thread are as follows:
- Management is angry at Zaion for something else (e.g. romhack talk) and for not heeding warnings, but adds on "insensitive jokes" because ???
-- They don't actually care but want to placate Twittards: As I asked above, were Twittards even seething
before Zaion's suspension? Or did the announcement just draw attention to her?
-- They don't actually care but want to seem more justified: If management thinks a suspension is necessary, they should just do it and take the PR hit instead of throwing her under the Twittard bus.
-- They normally wouldn't care but she's already on their naughty list: Equally unnecessary to draw attention to her.
- Management
is actually angry at Zaion for insensitive jokes: Have they seen the rest of the branch?
