Curious that you focus so much on her gender.
- baal80spam 2mo agoI didn't get the impression OP focused on the gender. Is it forbidden to mention a gender if it's female? Seems to me the one focusing on the gender is you.
- speak_plainly 2mo agoI think the point is that if it's irrelevant, why mention it?
- mulderc 2mo agoNotice that there is no mention of the gender of the CEO.

- CamJN 2mo agoI don’t pretend to know GP’s motives for putting it that way, but if I was going to put on my evil hat and kill off a gaming company/division I’d also put a woman in the hot seat. Not because I think women don’t understand gaming, they do; nor that I think women can’t run successful companies, they do; but because a large chunk of the gaming market is openly misogynistic and would root for the failure outcome I was orchestrating. Hell I’d even throw in some kind of golden parachute deal because that would enflame the trolls even more. People are easy to manipulate, and that’s quite possibly what’s happening here.
- mulderc 2mo agoI think that is a much more complex plan than I have seen come out of most corporate planning and promotions.
- inigyou 2mo agoIt's like the Ellen Pao era of Reddit. Ellen was a scapegoat put in by the board of directors to soften the impact while they rammed through a lot of unpopular decisions. Then they replaced her with the actual CEO.

- datakan 2mo agoHit a nerve eh?
- mulderc 2mo agoMore found it distracting and irrelevant.
- fryanyway_swe 2mo agoHe just mentioned her gender.
- mulderc 2mo agoTwice for no good reason, he didn’t bother to mention the gender or age of the CEO.
