A couple of days ago I saw some thread in another site and I could not believe the despicable misogynistic crap some people allowed themselves to throw, cowardly attacking a J. Hepler the way they did. It was both disturbing and infuriating.
I hope she can get past this quickly and continue with her work in BW.

She's talentless and incompetent.
Totally deserved all of this.
She's just proof of how much Bioware has fallen.
She does but I'll forgive her if she just quits from video games industry.
Its rediculous how far angry, insecure nerds will go on the internet just to ruin someone. I got about a million things that are better worth their time. For starters, not getting butthurt and taking something completely out of context. Next would actually be searching for a job. After that, moving out of their parent's basement. Etcetera.
Cry me a river or deal with it.

So leave the site, and stop buying the games. It's really that simple.
I'm not the other trolls by the way. I'm not saying Hepler deserved this, she didn't.
But I used to love Bioware, so I joined a Bioware forum.
It's not my fault you enjoy their hand-holding RPGs. Tell me child, ever play a CRPG? I thought so.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Thanks for moderating this one so I didn't have to reply to it. Had absolutely ZERO value beyond justifying bullying and harrassment of Hepler, and whinging about how horrible BioWare is.
Just a heads up: If people want to give constructive criticism, then give constructive criticism. But back that up with specifics and explanations. 'This is awful because I don't like it' does not work for any discussion.
As a high functioning autist I have had my fair share of cyber bullying experiances and I can tell you guys and gals now It aint all sugar plums and marshmellows.
I hope the trolls harrassing Hams get punished.

It's funny how the only people saying that Hepler is being attacked because she's female are female posters themselves. No one cares if you're female, people just get annoyed when you shove it in everyones faces.
Which Hepler did.
Totally.
A personal comment to a friend is rubbing it in people's faces.
HOW DARE SHE TRY TO FIND SOME EMPATHY FROM PEOPLE SHE FEELS COMFORTABLE WITH HOW DARE SHE!!!!
Please.

Comparing the writing of Baldurs Gate 2 was Biowares last good game. KOTOR 2 was a buggy mess and was still better written than the first.

People called her out for being a bad writer.
She then responded by saying that people are only targetting her because she is female.
People explained that this isn't the case. The issue is her total lack of talent, not her gender.
She continues to make her gender the focus of the argument.
She's the one who brought her gender into this and made it an issue. My concern is that she is a bad writer, with bad ideas about not just story writing, but about video game design in general. Her idea of a fast forward button in video games would fundamentally ruin the integration of story and game play in video games.

No actually. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not getting "funny". I'm not the one nerd raging and justifying bullying a woman because I don't like what she does. It's you who's doing it, so maybe you should get out.
No wonder people say that gamers are the worst fans ever.

Feminism is the greatest civil and human rights movement to ever have existed, and will be the most vital ideology in terms of improving the human condition in the remainder of the twenty-first century.
Agreed. And if men think femnisim is only helpful to women, consider this: in a feminist society, men would have just as good a chance of getting the kids in a custody battle as a woman assuming both parents are fit. As it stands, men are disadvanted. Why? Because of the sexist belief women are better at raising children and should be the ones to do it.

It's one thing to disagree and dislike someone's work, or what they say. It's another to throw personal attacks, or what someone two pages back posted about hoping she miscarries (you were reports you blood sucking sack of fat loser).
Seriously The Internet, you stay classy.

I never did understand how people could be judged on the types of games they play. You can play a game on HARDCORE GAMER MODE **** YEAH and you're still not cool in the real world. Sorry for not having the same opinion as everyone else =/ Bad me.

The only good part of KOTOR was a the I AM REVAN twist.
