I'm referring to the piece painting him as being under strain, having a mental breakdown, and thus that being used as a reason for why he was fired and/or potentially lied about sexual harrassment. My point being that in the cases of sexual harrassment, it is not uncommon to suddenly see media stories about a person that denigrates their personal integrity in some way or another. See what Harvey Weinstein and his company used to do for example. It's an old as time trick used by lawyers and others in and out of court to discredit woman as being crazy, whores, drug addicts, etc., when they claim sexual harrassment.
For the record I have no idea who is the right here, if there are more/similar people out there with the same kind of grievance against Sony, I wouldn't be surprised to see a class action. I just find this story rather interesting from the perspective of what often happens with sexual harrassment, albeit in this case it being done to a man.
And no, I'm not pointing fingers at Kotaku by saying this.
