I have that feature disabled on my account.
He was doing okay until the booth babe part.
Could you be considered nothing more than a glorified booth babe? You dont seem to add anything creative to the medium.
Mind you, I don't think Destructoid fired anyone because of sexist comments.
Not when Jim Sterling still works there.

It's simple: they don't share his views and they don't want to burn bridges.
Not that his tweets weren't out of line but doesn't anyone else find it weird that Destructoid fired this guy when they keep Jim Sterling employed despite the fact he's said a bunch of misogynistic stuff on twitter in the past?

I wouldn't consider those 'contributions'. Regardless of the quality of her voice acting, she got those roles because the devs/pubs knew people would buy it because she was in it.
Contributing would be linking to indie games that people might not know about, letting your fans know about a company going under or that Grant Kirkhope needs a job. I don't know if she does any of this as I don't follow her, and she's not obliged to do it, but I would say that her getting picked up to do voice acting based on her popularity is not contributing.
Exactly. You can question the value of one's work -- all creative endeavors are put out there for the armchair critics to critique (I personally don't like calling anything Day does "creative," for example) -- but no need to be mean.Yeah. I don't disagree with his question, but he didn't need to personally demean her.
Is he a Catholic?

If he had no idea who she was then why did he post the question in the first place? What a shitty excuse.@feliciaday Three: I really had no idea who you are (until now, anyhow). Thankfully, your fans filled me in ... kinda.

It comes down to the fact of numbers. People on twitter who were making a very big deal out of this all have multi millions of followers.
So the expressed outrage reaches the eyes of millions of people who then get offended
I cannot believe it is 2012 and people still cannot fucking figure out what to say and what not to say on twitter/facebook.
Destructoid has even more less relevancy if they fire Jim Stirling. Noone gives a shit about the other writers. Jims trolls are what makes Destructoid worth it.
Sadly, this has opened the floodgates. Now everybody is attacking poor Felicia.
Poor Jonathan Holmes
It's Jim Sterling - their most known writer. Of course they won't fire him.
I still think that firing that dude just because of one snarky comment is way too much. Bu whatever, white knights!
I bet they would if he publicly insulted someone with millions of fans.
I doubt it.
Sterling trolling is the main reason anyone even knows what Destructoid is.
I don't think this blew up until Veronica Belmont remarked about it. After all, this guy's tweets were made over 24 hours ago and it only came to light a few hours ago. Which means Felicia Day didn't say anything about it so clearly she ignored it.
See i don't even know who that is, and i bet the vast majority of other people don't aswell. I know Kotaku's writers and thats saying something.
Nightmare fuel.

I always wonder if that character was such a Mary Sue because of Bioware's amateur writers or just to appease Day's fanboy/girls
Felicia Day was so wonderful in Supernatural
