Jessica Price, story writer for ArenaNet’s popular free-to-start Guild Wars 2 MMO, has long been a target of gators. She’s never shied away for calling out sexist bullshit, whether it be from the infamous John “TotalBiscuit” Bain and his merry band of gators to shithead streamers like Deroir. Talented, and an open feminist. Two things that the male ego cannot abide.
So of course, ArenaNet fired her. And then fired Peter Fries for supporting her.
It’s 2018 and sexism is still “winning”. It’s time to take the internet back. Let’s start by letting AreaNet know the enormity of the wrong that ArenaNet is supporting by silencing Jessica.

Just so you know, Totalbiscuit and the Warframe devs were very cozy. They largely attribute the game’s survival to him and his ceaseless promotion of the game.
If anyone tried to talk down to me wrt to my profession I would probably say the same thing as she did (probably with more or less expletives depending on my own mood). Some random person on the Internet doesn’t get to @ me with their crappy opinions without some retort on my part. Price did the right thing and ArenaNet is in the wrong with its butt kissing of streamers. This is why I avoid most streamers since they’re largely uneducated dickwheels that think their farts smell like perfume.
You reactionary gamers really need to get out more. Her response is fairly mild compared to what others have said and frankly your whining just proves to me that trying to placate your ilk is a bad idea. The less developers cater to your class of gamer the better off gaming will be.
I trust you are more pleasant face to face than you are online, cuz bro, this ain’t a good look for you.
Gators have had it out for her ever since she first called out TotalBiscuit for being a Gator shit. He wasn’t a saint, that’s for sure. On one hand, he introduced me to my favorite games. On the other, he contributed to running many devs - Phil Fish included - out of the industry.
As my mama says, only say good things about the dead. TB is dead. Good.
Because obviously challenging or disagreeing with a woman on a SJW cesspoll like BB is doubleplusungood! So if they start by claiming to be women, then we’re powerless when they regurgitate the usual GerbilGroper bullshit whines!
