    I felt like the animation was a bit underdone -- I didn't want ornate photorealistic 3D backgrounds, but there were some places where background walls could have used just a hint of texture, and so on.

    Huh. Can you unpack that a bit more for us? Like: I read the article carefully; as far as I can tell, the events happened in the order Kotaku says they happened.

    And, well... isn’t the whole argument here that what one person says in a moment of anger reflects on the group they’re part of?

    The comment that got deleted was certainly extreme. On the other hand, this guy got 43 upvotes for saying he's celebrating someone losing their job. He is far from alone. It's not incorrect to characterize the subreddit as happy that she was fired.
