What the fuck is this shit? Why would you even do that?
they probably thought making a sexual minority look ridiculous will drove in male gamers in masses.
pretty shameless and tasteless imho

Well if it was me I would probably laugh at his face =) .... but different people ..... different sensibilities and so on.
Honestly it is hard for me to consider this anything more than distasteful (so not such a big deal to me).
We should have been there to asses the mood and the kind of show that was going on. It is hard to judge things like this outside their context. I mean..... often comedians are rude/ politically not correct and so on.....
Kill yourself.
haha jk im a licensed comedian
It's really simple! You can make jokes without actively dehumanizing the person on stage with you.Expand on this.
Ahhh hes a comedian.
It all makes sense now. Was he simply just messing with her and he went a bit too far ?
No.... No it certainly doesn't. How would you feel if I called you "it"? You simple never call anybody that, REGARDLESS of gender.

He's not part of the games industry, and he doesn't have a position to be fired from. Please read before reacting.Fucking embarrassing. Members of the game industry, stop embarrassing us. I hope this guy involved gets fired and removed from his position forever.
Well, it makes a big difference if some random, serious presenter calls you that, or Triumph the insult-comic dog.
Context is crucial here.
But of course, if someone is seriously upset and hurt about such a comment, you should definitely apologize.
That being said, posting simplistic over-generalisations about "the industry" in response doesn't help either.
Microsoft just topped 2006 Sony. Fucking awful.
I think people absolutely should pile on this guy if he is in fact the guy who is responsible for this. People need to know when they fucked up.

this is the equivalent of going up to a paraplegic and saying that they're not a human being because they don't have working legs
even if triumph did it it would not be funny at all
Microsoft can't control what some comedian says on stage.
That piece of shit called her "It" and even "Thing"Ahhh hes a comedian.

People saying "it's not Microsoft's fault" need to understand that Microsoft PR decided to hire this person to represent them, they are responsible, directly or indirectly, for the comments as it was their choice to hire such a person.

This is a new low for console wars.So officially confirmed?
GDDR5 = 50% more supportive of transexuals then ESDRAM?
The thing is that the comic probably thought gamers would appreciate this type of humour.
On the whole we don't really have the most accepting hearts based on our reputations. So some hateful, unthoughtful "jokes" probably was thought of to be an easy crowd pleaser.
Problem is... reputations are wrong.
This is on a whole other level from Orth.That's fucking terrible.
Incoming Adam Orth moment.
If that was his typical style of "humor", sure. But that's not the case.People saying "it's not Microsoft's fault" need to understand that Microsoft PR decided to hire this person to represent them, they are responsible, directly or indirectly, for the comments as it was their choice to hire such a person.

Even if they didn't know that, they're still responsible for how their stage hands handled the situation.Does he have any history of making jokes on such crass taste for example?
it's not hard to judge at all if the person involved is transgender and you know anything about that class of people
educate yourself
This isn't a fucking comedy show. It is a stage event about video games.
You don't bring someone up on stage and then immediately and unnecessarily go after a potentially very sensitive personal subject to them. It's not the place or the time.
Being blindsided by something like this would be very upsetting to me, no matter the circumstances.
I'm not saying what he did was acceptable, but I think she's overreacting in regards the whole "I want to drop out of this industry" business.
It was a comedian, who is not a part of the industry. And does she really think that this industry is way worse than other entertainment industries?
Sucks, awful, and that's really embarrassing. But aim your anger at the right thing.
