Look at how this happened. There was no due process, there was no period of finding the truth. ZQ posted some stuff on her twitter. Immediately his entire industry blacklisted him and booted him from the studio he founded. If the people who facilitated this thought they hadn't done something unconscionable there wouldn't have been a mad rush to try and scrub the internet of their actions.

yeah why would someone delete their twitter when they start getting death threats from insane people

One side complained about that, the other side complained about no females in the party because of tired poo poo like "If I gotta have an rear end in the middle of the screen for 50+ hours, it should be a hot one hur hur".

That's why they gave all of the FFXV guys good asses

Games mods have always been very, very trigger shy because if you start proactively banning people here for transphobia, sexism, racist bullshit (instead of waiting until they have already posted ten pages of ridiculously transparent poo poo) you'd end up clearing out a quarter of games and that would be a lot more work.

The mods are in fact not at their PCs 24/7

I mean that's hardly even the biggest misstep Paradox has made in recent memory, considering it's been less than a year since Martin Ericcson, the guy they put in charge of the Vampire: the Masquerade tabletop RPG revival, who himself had a number of extremely lovely moments leading up to the game's release (talk of returning werewolves to their "crypto-fascist eco terrorist" roots, hiring on noted serial harasser and later outed rapist and abuser Zak S to author a tie-in app game, casual 1488 references in playtest materials, he likes signing off on his blog with "Blood and Souls!" etc etc) caused a no-fooling international incident with the Chechnyan government when he tasteless decided to put a ripped-from-the-headlines plot hook in the game about how the Chechen government's anti-gay purges were all part of a sinister vampiric cabal. Even if people going "hey wow this is actually really tasteless" wouldn't normally motivate corporations, the threat of translators being arrested and the Chechen government (who of course angrily deny that the purges are even happening) making noise were enough to result in Paradox finally moving to exercise greater oversight and control over their White Wolf subsidiary, no longer allowing it to operate on its own, and Ericcson would eventually be shitcanned down the line as well.

I feel like this one is a result of the main branch not giving a poo poo about tabletop and subsequently not even noticing it until it blows up in your face
