alexandros050: I feel bad how the world changed these last 15 years.
I remember in the old days people were a lot better. Correction: People have been shit to each other throughout the entirety of human history. The only difference is, that now modern technology and the anonymity of the internet allows everyone to spread and witness that shit on a global level.
All things considered, people these days are surely ( on average ) much more civil, respectful, educated, well mannered and open minded than they were 100, 500 or a 1000 years back. Maybe one day we'll even manage to all get along peacefully? Looks like for now we still have a long way to go.
Catshade: I wish corporate social media managers everywhere would stop pretending to be hip and edgy on social media's latest viral trend if they can't handle the associated risks that comes with it.
Agreed. To me, there's only two acceptable ways to handle this: Either 1) GOG stop posting such jokes entirely, and just stick to a dry, more serious business tone, or 2) if they really think these jokes are funny, and there's nothing offensive about it, they should stand up for it, and not do a 180 as soon as someone complains.
Currently it's the worst of both worlds -- First they apologize, and basically agree that their jokes are in bad taste and inappropriate, but then they do it again. And again. And again... It's either some bizarre form of viral marketing, or they have no clue what they are doing.
