PlayStation Studios |OT28| \o/ Respect Women's Rights. Fuck Jim Ryan.

Abortion rights is a serious issue. JIm's comments are being taken as stealth support. Women are dying because of the continuous push to strip them of their reproductive rights.
Saying "Fuck Jim Ryan" is immature, is perhaps the wrong choice of words. But I do think it misses the opportunity to send a much more meaningful message.
Just my two cents.
I made my latest post while the title was being changed.
It's a much better and much needed message. I'm extremely proud of it/us.
To me this will be the reason he steps down if he does. A lot of Sony employee's are on twitter and very vocal. Many clearly will not be happy about this. I'm sure studio leads will be having meetings with their staff and coworkers about this entire thing.

Guess there's hope for all of us if incompetent clutzs like them can get to positions like that!
This is a very sensitive topic for me personally and one very close to home. I don't think abortion should be illegal but I also think it can be abused. But if you are going to make a point in the vein of neutrality and respect then surely that goes both ways then at least do it right. It feels like he's been forced to comment on this issue at short notice with the look of it. Certainly seems like his words haven't been thought through.
I don't see him stepping down over this unless he force ( which i doubt )
Saying fuck you to rich people who think my bodily autonomy is negotiable is a positive message in support of my rights, thank you very much.

Were you expecting constructive criticism? We must counter immaturity with more immaturity!
Every time I see a comment saying "just stick to making games" I lose several brain cells.
There is no neutrality, when you say it's ok to respect people who are agaist it, it's like saying it's ok for people to control my body
The last reddit thread I read was on the Battlefield sub where they were crying that the women in the game weren't sexy or had "too much ethnicity" which is a verbatim quote.
I shudder to think about the type of lunacy that that thread contains.
yep from reading this part of the email , they going for the both side aspect but fuck that .
"PlayStation president Jim Ryan didn't take a stance on abortion rights, instead writing that the company and its community are "multi-faceted and diverse, holding many different points of view." He wrote that "we owe it to each other and to PlayStation's millions of users to respect differences of opinion among everyone in our internal and external communities. Respect does not equal agreement. But it is fundamental to who we are as a company and as a valued global brand."
In the way that people are literally using it as a form of contraception in the UK. Abortions are performed every day because people weren't careful. My dads ex fiancee purposefully had an abortion to spite my dad when they broke up. My dad had no say in the matter and my older half sisters and I lost a brother. It made it worse when my dad moved from fabricating welding to do his nursing qualifications and part of that was on a birthing/gynae ward and some days he'd come home in tears. He wasn't there for very long before he was moved to oncology.
I said this earlier in the thread. Many people probably will silently agree with this stance. Even more probably won't see anything wrong with it.
I have no idea why the fuck he brought up the whole pet issue. While his statement with the whole respecting others opinion is shitty. I think if he left it at that he could come up with a decent apology. The whole animal thing trivializes the entire thing.
Wowzers.
I'm in full support of your reproductive choices.
As a brother to sisters, nephew to aunts and aunts in law, and a friend of more women than I can mention, I just want to make sure that that point is crystal clear.
If anything I've posted on this forum suggests otherwise then please point that out to me.
User Banned (Permanent): Concern trolling over reproductive rights and bodily autonomy
So in other words because they don't agree with you, they're the enemy. Got it.
Again, I'm not an advocate in making abortion illegal but I can respect both sides, as I can with most things in life. I've pretty much had to come to live like that in the modern society and workplace.
And when THOSE types of people are defending you. You fucked up.
I'm sorry about what you and your dad had to go through, I really am. But Women should always have the right to abortion and no men should be able to tell them what to do.
Well, how is the stance that promotes removing bodily autonomy morally good in the first place?
tut-tutting about "immaturity" in a thread title on a topic like this is certainly a way to go, I guess.
The most charitable reading I can give it is that he was thinking "Let me try to diffuse this highly emotional and divisive subject that I brought up by ending my email on something positive and light." Obviously it just came off as completely tone deaf though.
I don't care how many women you have in your life. No one is impressed by your concern trolling that the subtitle being at one point simply "Fuck Jim Ryan" was too "immature."
He doesn't deserve respect for what he emailed today.
Good title change, thank you Transistor
If you don't like abortions, great, don't get one. But get fucked for trying to dictate what other people do with their bodies.
Nah, "both sides" doesn't work when one group is trying to take away rights from the other one.

yep would be better if left off that part but it made things worst .
One side say you do what you want with your body, the other remove woman right to their body so Yeah they're is no both side
Here's the thing. You can PERSONALLY not like abortion or even agree with it. But if you're ok with taking away the right for a person to decide if they want one then yes you are an enemy.
The only thing this is going to lead to is people have unsafe abortions. Just look at some of the laws in Texas and elsewhere.
There really is no both sides here, LLP. There is one side that respect's a woman's right to make choices with her own body and there is a side that wants women to have less rights. This isn't a discussion, there is no debate to be had.
The pro-choice side isn't forcing women to have abortions. We just want women to have the option available to them when they need it. Meanwhile the pro-life side wants to force women to carry babies to term even when it could be fatal for them to do so.
One side is literally wanting to deny autonomy to women. That side is not deserving of respect.
These are my posts about the thread title Nepenthe
I have never been anything other than in support of women's reproductive rights. I lost a friend due to complications in child birth. I couldn't possibly be anything other than supportive of a woman's right to choose.
