The Reddit thread for it had a few example tweets such as a post about just racism and ending with "Fuck Spain" I believe, that wasn't very popular.
These go back to around 2016 when she joined ANet and that has a thread too with people using her tweets as examples.
EDIT: And apparently there were a number of tweets between the two people that got fired but I didn't read up too much about it.

Just a quick glance at her tweets was enough for me to designate her as a proper cunt.
Not that smart when you use your real identity and even tie it to your job.

Euroderper also shocked:

Why are they doing game reviews (I assume they still do) when they hate their audience so much? Players and harassers are just thrown together.
Wouldn't it be better for them to just start a 'progressive' newspaper.

Wow idiots really.
"She s being harrased" and then not even able to give an example.
Shitheads really all of them.
Luckily sites like RPS get more and more obsolete hopefully they vanish quietly.

Gamergate movement is proven right time and time again, this cabal of SJW people in the gaming industry and the gaming press are helping each other and covering for each other against the gamer audience.
The gaming companies should listen to the bulk of their customers. And people should stop visiting these shitty websites for their gaming news, I mean wtf. Just follow individuals you trust on Youtube for news and reviews. I feel the publishers feed money and exposure to these gaming news sites with ads and shit. No way these businesses survive on ad revenue or subsciptions.

lol @ those "journalists"
If they can't discern the difference between a public twitter account and a private one, they need to get with the times.
If you don't want people tweeting back at you, make your account private then. Or open a Medium account and blog there, make sure you disable comments.
But man, what if Fries was fired because if they only got rid of her it would be 'sexist'. Wonder how he felt when management explained that to him.

I'll say that firing her does seem a bit much, but from a sample of her winning personality (at least on twat-ter) from several articles I'm guessing that she was likely asked to apologize, refused and got shitcanned accordingly.
Fine by me if that was the case

Then you haven't seen her unhinged behaviour and provocative responses when responding to PERFECTLY well mannered and articulated discussion/criticism by customers. She is acting like some kind of carricature, like a parody account.

Not only have I seen it, I even talk about it on the next part of that sentence that you left out of your quote. Weird, huh?

Glad this didn't go unpunished. While I know what it's like to suddenly become unemployed, and generally wouldn't wish that on anyone, it's justified if you dissed any member of the public while speaking while representing the company you work for. Virtually every job has that as a clause. It sounds to me she felt her reputation was enough to shield her from any personal responsibility for her comments, and expected Anet to back her up.
instead, she managed to b4ing feminism into a discussion that was never about It. Clearly she is of th belief her opinions are important, and that because she invoked the feminist card, her fellow sjw's would rally to her cause.
Ironically, she called the 10% of those annoyed toxic. Generally speaking, sh3 herself is one if the 10% of people online who believes everything said by a white male is 'something-ist'. She won't learn from 5his the, she'll just go on to be an even bigger she and will probably attain Anita status.

I played this when it was first released and after a week I stopped due to the game being ridiculously repetitive, boring and lacked content (it was a shit game). Since release, has it become a better game?

The combat mechanic is good. For me the game was worth it even only for the single player. Not so much in Heart of Thorns tho but had it's few good moments. Haven't played Path of Fire and most people say it's more bad than good. The game could've been so much better if they expanded the Fractals, Dungeons, Raids, World vs World and Jumping Puzzles (actually almost everything lol). Instead they have forgotten them , nerfed them (or maybe that changed for the past year since I stopped playing it !?) and most people are just doing world bosses which is a lagfest no matter the PC and super boring after doing them once.

For what is worth, I found Path of Fire better than Heart of Thorns. But I think the game is at the end of its life. There are many features/mechanics that can be improved, but the foundation is dated and cannot be improved. ArenaNet should just focus on making a sequel.

Yep, controversy = articles fishing for clicks on desperate, barely funded "traditional" journo sites
I'll now also add to the pile with euroderper's hilarious butthurt article from today with more gems from this loon:
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-07-10-fired-guild-wars-2-writer-was-given-no-warning
| Quote: | "I was given no opportunity to argue my case," Price told Polygon. "[Studio co-founder and president Mike O'Brien] spent some time insisting that developers must be friends with the company's customers, and that it was unacceptable to say that we aren't, even when we're not on the clock. He told me I'd look back and regret this, because we were doing great work and I'd ruined it.
"The whole thing was highly unprofessional. There was zero reason for him to be there. He wanted to vent his anger, and he had the power to command a woman to stand there while he took his feelings out on her, so he did. Then he walked out, [the manager] got my stuff from my desk and the HR person asked for my key card." |
Amazing...

These 'journalists' can go fuck themselves sideways 24/7, really. I applaud ArenaNet for firing this idiot, they have no place in a company.
