In retrospect, it's not all that weird, especially amongst people that value gameplay over a good story and hope for better integration of the two.

@believer258: Metroid Other M is a Nintendo game and it has often been sold at bargain bin prices years after release ($5-10, depending on where you get it).

@f1reflygr7: in that case: you're stupid and you're making mountains out of molehills.

@f1reflygr7: we know that it's not all about gender and feminism, but we can't ignore the fact that it plays some part in the backlash alongside her supposed lies and all the other stuff. And if we ignore the gender and feminism and focus solely on everything else, we still don't think it's all worth worrying about because in the end, it's the decision of Inafune and his dev team to keep her around in the first place, which means we're better off trusting their judgment over that of anyone else at this time.

@f1reflygr7: again, none of that should matter anymore because now she's trying to address those concerns in the official forums ( as pointed out by the OP) and is trying to not come off as a liar and all that. She's trying to repair her reputation to the community, and you keep making it worse than it has to by continuing to "call her out for her lies" or whatever.

For once, I agree with Halinel.

@f1reflygr7: and I and others have already provided counterpoints to your counterpoints that you were apparently too busy to read or whatever.

Like so: how many times do we have to say that being a community manager isn't nearly as much of a position of power as you make it out to be. I've already quoted the post of a backer that wants people to stop spreading bullshit, so I'd advise you follow along his example rather than drag it out longer than it has to be.

@f1reflygr7: no, that's not the problem. The problem is the fans are grossly overreacting to something that shouldn't even be that problematic in the long run. And while it is her job to manage the community and she probably could have given a better first impression, I still feel that the community should share more of the blame for reacting the way they did in the first place, even after statements made by her and the staff as I quoted above from one of the backers. Don't forget: as noted in the OP, she has been trying to clear up the misinformation and build up a better relationship with the fans following the debacle, and so far she seems to be doing fine.

@f1reflygr7: that guy made yet another big ass post detailing his leaving the forums, as if he matters in the long run. What a joke.
