Xbox Brasil dismisses new host after she was the victim of death and rape threats. (See Threadmark: Microsoft Responds)

I wish more journalist had addressed the same way
É uma boa matéria, detalhada, confesso que estou surpreso
Yeah... Xbox Wire new posts are just translations from the main USA page, maybe XboxBR indeed does not exist anymore? Or at least not in the same size/way that it used to?
Yep, they went far beyond what others reported, even far more "relevant" outlets were satisfied with just Isadora's post and MS PR. Tecnoblog doing this is indeed surprising.
Plausible. Sony (TV and sound business), plus a other companies, recently decided to leave this country (who can blame them?). Maybe Microsoft is doing the same with its gaming branch.
On the other hand, doing this right on the eve of a next generation launch is very strange.

I remember I reported dude who legit called out international intervention in brazil because of the amazon rainforest. Not even warned. Another dude literally said "lets annex the amazon", nope, thats all okay behavior. Its ok to outright advocate for imperialism here. I'm not surprised
It isn't enough for them to kill off XboxBR. That would make so that there's no official Xbox voice in Brasil, opening the market for "parallel" representatives.
If there's no official representation, doesn't Mil Grau become the biggest personality with any affinity to the Xbox fanbase?
There needs to be an Xbox Brasil, and it needs to not suck.

Paulo Higa is a great technology reviewer. I had no idea he wrote articles too. And a good one to boot.
What the fuck is wrong with those people, so gross. And please don't tell me they also were "making self-deprecating jokes".
More then offending them by projecting very real cultural problems onto them and try and act as if we're better?
For the record we've addressed the recon_zero_ post here. Long story short, that member is from a Spanish-speaking South American country where "third world" doesn't usually carry pejorative connotations, so it wasn't actioned at first. We were able to consult with Brazilian staff today and a ban was applied for inflammatory generalizations.
Just so we're clear, we checked the logs, and this is a lie. This is the one and only report this account has ever made. The reason we look at histories is because sometimes when you see gross things like this and sketchy things like this it's hard to believe this person is posting in good faith. Now, if we could all remain on topic, that'd be great.
Those things about the Amazon did happen though, and no one got even a warning.
Proof here:

Bolsonaro: 'the Amazon is ours' and calls deforestation data 'lies', brexit 'the will of the people'.
Well let's annex the Amazon from Brazil and make it a international conservation area... With no nation having any claim over and ensure it looked after and cared for.. It's not your problem then ..

Plenty more there and in another threads like the one about "would military intervention be alright to protect the amazon?"
I'm not saying this exact poster was right, but can't go around saying that didn't happen, because it did.
That post was never reported, so it was never flagged for moderation, and the team never looked at it. This is the only post in that thread that was reported. That thread is a year old now but in the future if you see anything you find concerning please report it.
Phil?! Please sort that fucking mess out.
I don't think it will be too long before Phil picks this up (hopefully!).

Yeah, they don't care. It's said and done and they were probably just waiting things calm down a bit.

Global Xbox also interacts with toxic people, that's probably just another normal day for them.

Like, who the fuck Microsoft thinks they are fooling?
They literally hired her SEPTEMBER, not even a WHOLE month before dismissing her and saying "It had nothing to do with her, we're going through an major restructuring on how we deliver content to Brazil"
So why bother even hiring her in the first place????
Digusting, fucking disgusting.
I need to step away and take a breath.

It's always a great marketing strategy to lower your presence right on the eve of your biggest launch in years.
@ Microsoft
Fuck Microsoft. It is clear they are trying to sweep this under the rug.
Edit: I didn't mean to quote you. Sorry about that.

That was my first reaction too.
"We're trying to reach people in different languages, so we decided to fire our Brazilian host and effectively cut down our local team, so now you have to just go watch shit in English regardless"
Nice.
They went and said the same thing they did last time. So, "Xbox Wire becomes our only source for news" ok then, but the twitter and facebook accounts are still active and posting, they just twitted some news about a free play day or something just a few minutes ago, so what changed? Because they're implying that they're going through some restructuring in how they communicate, and that they're going to push Xbox Wire, that's what they keep saying, but besides those few days of silence it really doesn't seem like anything actually changed, besides them firing Isadora Basile and some unnamed agency (unclear what even is up with that).
Haee pointed out that they hired her not even a full month ago, like, Xbox just seems like a complete mess.
The real problem is that Xbox continues to refuses to address the shitty toxic community it has built in Brazil, and that it has just empowered them even more with this latest bullshit. They tell us it's a change in communication strategy, but the only thing we have seen so far is that they fired the employee who has been harassed by the community they built, and everything else they told us just seems like complete bullshit or is already shown to be complete bullshit. If they're in fact cutting down on their presence in Brazil, and then keep releasing these bullshit PR statements to not say it outright, then they're fucking themselves over even more for even stupider reasons.
Fuck Xbox.

Exactly right? Why fire her? They want us to believe these PR statements about focusing on Xbox Wire, and how they are doing it to reach more players and whatever, but the only thing that seems to have changed is that they fired her after not properly supporting here.

This seems like an easy fix for MS and they're somehow tripping over their own shoelaces on this one.
Yet again a good reminder that corporations are not your friends and no matter how personable certain individuals from a company makes your acquaintance, they ultimate serve a larger 'lowest risks for the highest profit' corporation. It is transparent AF why Isadora was let go- It was far less risky to let go of one person instead of inflame a group of "gamers" who contribute to the revenue stream, status quo of toxicity be damned.
The only reason why these companies act like they care here is because the larger consensus lies with progressive values. So MS (and others) pushing for progressive changes both internally and externally in places like EU and NA is less about being a vanguard of social justice and more about the optics of not looking socially antiquated compared to the present zeitgeist.
Not only that but firing her in the middle of her being harassed by a bunch of incel chuds. Great work with the reaching out there Microsoft.
