She is not even working on the project. She got kicked out. She is in no position to say if the character is a lesbian or not

Especially since it’s not shown in game….. also how great of an idea for a species on the verge of extinction to choose to live the one way that doesn’t procreate.

It’s almost like she never played a game in the franchise

The idea, an old one, is that you would hook up with a major end game player, or you're just being raped constantly. The man hating lesbians are believable, lipstick lolis are not.

It's what some people seriously misunderstood about Werewolf: the Apocalypse wrt a lot of things sexual, as well - the whole "sex for fun takes a back seat when your kind is in imminent danger of extinction" thing.

Isn't their species already past the point of no return? Once the population is down to single digits it's not bouncing back.

"Death of the author" means the author is going to validate her headcanon or else they are going to be killed

I forgot, is Sam a he or a she? I was never sure. Kind of looks like a dude but speaks to much like real women.

Full story from what I understand from a reddit thread on this:

Same Mags worked on Ratchet and Clank lead designer and she apparently took a big interest in the design of Rivet

Maggs gets upset that she isn't personally named, whines that it was her who created Rivet and also came up with her name which leads to an IGN article

She is still upset that people do not acknowledge that Rivet was originally going to have boobs - no one likes boobs apparently

A Dev responds, talks about how they're upset by her behavior and that it wasn't Sam Maggs who came up with the name but David Kim.

Same Dev points out that a lot of the women and minorities at the studio were actually totally okay with the original design of Rivet and that it was Sam Maggs and her cronies who made everyone uncomfortable by getting into shouting matches. (Sam Maggs even says so by own admission)

Short version:

Sam Maggs was a pain in the arse, they changed the design for Rivet to appease her. She was still not happy so she was kicked off the project She is now unhappy she is not mentioned in the credits.

Sam Maggs is, shockingly, an actual biowoman with a paper thin meaningless queer identity for biz purposes.

You're thinking of Maggs Visaggio

I hate these people more than I hate most of the actual trannies.

It's funny how they made alphabet+ so nebulous that anyone can claim to be in the alphabet soup for diversity points and no one can really refute it.

It only exists to show compliance to the regime.

They created an "allies" category for those who aren't woke soup but still want in on the group. It's entirely pants on head retarded.

I remember the 90s and 00s when most women crossing into their twenties would claim to be bi whether it was true or not as it was paradoxically attractive to some men.

It still happens now, but I remember it happening then, too.

Sam Maggs is the one from the hilarious GTA "virtual rape" story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7-R_GX8-Wk

How dare she try to take credit from a korean man. What a racist bigot she is.

She also got called out for not coming up with the name Rivet herself. Any normal person would be black balled from the industry after dragging your previous employers every couple of months, especially how frequently she changes jobs. And shouting “Lombax Tiddies” every time the character design gets brought up is the workplace equivalent of a temper tantrum for not getting your way in a previous meeting.

She didn't only try to steal credit for the name, did you catch the name of the person who actually did come up with it? David Kim. Kim is an Asian surname is it not? So this white cis actually stole the idea from a pErSon oF cOlOuR

And shouting “Lombax Tiddies” every time the character design gets brought up is the workplace equivalent of a temper tantrum

Actually that sounds like SEXUAL HARASSMENT to me, creating a TOXIC workplace

She can’t be a lesbian, I had sex with her after Chris Chan’s Dimensional Merge.

By sex I think you mean "eerily realistic virtual rape"?

Yes, Sam is the idiot from that absurd report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7-R_GX8-Wk

Question, did anyone of you played the game?

I do not have a PS5

Seeing they made a new female character in current year I just assumed that Rivet is better then Ratchet at every turn. Ratchet is an idiot and clank is her gay best friend. I would also assume that crack about strong independent women.

Also the girl in going commando, was she not a Lombax?

She was an elegant Lombax for a More Civilized Age.

From the reviews I’ve seen from the non woke YouTubers that occasionally do let’s plays it seemed like a normal ratchet and clank game

I'm asking because Same seems to think Rivet is the first female lombax but I clearly remember the thief in going commando being a female lombax with normal boobs.

She is not even a lesbian. She claimed to be a lesbian and then married a man. Now she says she is bi. Is just a straight woman that increased her victimhood points in an industry that started to have to many women. No one wants to compete via merit.
