Because if I had a nickel for every time the manager of a popular gaming forum abused one of his femme staff members, not only would I have two nickels but the second one I acquired would've been split from the first.
There absolutely need to be repercussions for the way B Dubs spoke to Nep. He said what he said from a position of not only power but confident immunity. He said it from a position of a man talking down to a woman, and he said it with the full knowledge that no one could clock him for it behind his screen. He clearly isn't willing to discuss it or apologize, which means he'll do it again. And I can guarantee you that if he's willing to talk to a member of his staff this way in public, he's treating them worse in private.
And I 100% advocate for folks who rightfully take issue with his behavior to go around him to notify his actual bosses, MOBA. If anyone should be held accountable for how their behavior impacts the site, it's the one paid to oversee all of it. At the end of the day it's B Dubs that sets the tone for the forum, and he has no problem setting a tone of unapologetic abuse and misogyny. Which, I guess, isn't really bucking a trend in gaming these days.
What I find amusing about this is that b-chubs spoke to her exactly like he speaks to anyone else when he's mad but because Nep is a woman (let's ignore the non-binary stuff, that's inconvenient right now) it's now a huge problem.
I'd love to know what's going on behind the scenes, because if she's any smart Nep will know that this shit is bound to backfire the moment she goes off on another angry rant against some member.
