Well he was presumably an at will employee so they could fire him without cause if they wanted. But no companies want to have even a faint look of defending sexual harassment.

he hit on coworkers who were technically beneath him in the food chain and eighteen year old girls, asked for nudes from totally random women, and demanded none of them ever tell anyone else

he isnt a rapist or anything but that is really loving skeevy

and he was one of polygon's biggest PR guys and public faces, looking bad in the public eye is literally the opposite of his job description.

he asked some women for nudes, which is bein' a creeper to be sure. though early reports were crazy like what if he's a pedophile or a rapist or whatever and no, he just sexted people. the anthony wiener of lovely youtube videos

It depends on how far you're willing to let the whole "separate the art from the artist" go. Everyone's limit on that is gonna be different. See: Jontron

Exactly, and that's perfectly fine. It is okay to be comfortable with separating the art from the artist in one scenario but not in another scenario. It doesn't have to be a blanket statement across everything.

tbh there are issues with it (like randomly asking women for nudes would be weird even if you didnt have a whopping 70k twitter followers dude) but he at least kinda seems to mean it. hopefully he doesnt turn into a video game nazi

So you mean I can't go around asking random women for nudes even though I'm not internet famous?

Even the people that seemed to be directly involved were saying they didn't want him to be drawn and quartered, they just wanted him to realize that what he did was lovely and to stop being lovely. Who knows how much he really understands and is willing to change, but that's the thing with restorative justice, there's never going to be a definitive moment when it's over, and it was never a thing that would be resolved in a day. Like if this is a politician's apology and he actually continues to be lovely in the long run, well, that will also come out in the fullness of time.

At the very least it's a lot better than doubling down and starting a Patreon to fund your right-wing podcast/YouTube, which is the more typical reaction

I could only stomach playing No Man's Sky for like three hours, but I have probably listened to the soundtrack for at least 30, so at least some good came from that game
