We can all think Jim Ryan is shit and stupid as fuck for sending that out that email.
But he's also not in this position because he's a likeable guy. Regardless of what anyone overall thinks of him he knows the business and he's helping PS make money. That's all that matter to investors and potentially his bosses as well.
The only way I see him leaving is on his own accord, or he's fired by his bosses because their losing money or the devs start speaking up.
Most people don't read past a headline so unfortunately I feel many people will see Jim Ryan says to "respect the opinions of others" and most people aren't going to take issue with that.
I think Era and Twitter calling for/thinking he will resign over this is kinda wild.
This is how a lot of older dudes who feel they live in a "pc" culture have handled this situation in similar positions as him. I work in local government in PR and the headaches alone this week from these men speaking about this topic is unfathomable.
At most we'll get a PR "I misspoke" comment by tomorrow or Monday. That's it.
