@verius @nerthos Well, they still act like one, don't they? And to be fair, some inexperience and mistakes are a natural part of making a company. You're going to have some mishaps, do some things you shouldn't, and make some mistakes that anger people. If they're a mature company, as you suggest, they will have learned from that, and taken the steps to go thro…

@verius @nerthos Especially when it comes to moralizing with these "inclusive" and "progressive" companies, there is zero degree of latitude. They are, after all, authoritarians. Any deviance is punished, usually without even warning (as we see here) and with impunity.

@maiyannah Anything that can be compared to furry forum drama is enough to show the company's administration is not porfessional, and this can.

@nerthos Wow. I don't disagree, but that's a burn and a half.
