They bought out her contract, it’s literally throwing money at a diversity hire who was never relevant to gaming to begin with

They bought out her contract because she didn't do anything they could fire her for.

The speech that made her radioactive was a speech they signed off on, endorsed, and probably helped write.

Honestly, I was surprised she didn't quit after they publicly humiliated her by having Amouranth rolling around a ball pit in a hot pink bikini just two months later, but I guess forcing her employer to buy out her contract was indeed the smarter option.

Sorry, gang- couldn't find a good site talking about it. Here's a couple Quartering vids about it though:

You mean crapping on the audience that buys video games is a bad move?!

Apparently doing that and telling them not to watch causes them not to watch.

Never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!

Ha!!! That’s like Gail Simone commenting on the decline of comic books.

In some pictures she looked like a naked mole rat dressed in a Bieber costume. If they insist on employing one of those 'one of the guys' girls, at least make sure she has a personality that encompasses more than a used tampon sticking to the side of a toilet.

The secret is to use the "She's All That" method: take a hot girl and have her wear boyish clothes, minimal makeup, put her hair in a ponytail and give her glasses.

Then just teach her some dick jokes and the difference between Trek & Wars- BOOM! Perfect nerd girl next door.

Then wait a few years and have her do a sexy photoshoot with her hair & makeup done...

Some fugly dyke that bags on guys and hits on bimbos said she wasn't here (on G4) to be sexy. Everyone agreed. She then went and shit on gamers and men in general, and the studio's woke crew blew smoke up her clit. Their target audience, however, told the cunt to get fucked and bailed.

This all happened before the network even aired, so, it was stillborn like a heroine baby.

G4 was a cable TV channel that focused on nerdy shit before Twitch became a thing and YouTube gaming community was still growing. They also had hot women like Olivia Munn do humorous & sexy bits, which was a key part of their success.

They were big in nerdom for a while but things started going downhill - their original studio programming stopped in 2012 and the whole chanel shut down in 2014. Then in 2020 they decided to revive the brand for some reason, despite Twitch & YouTubers having rendered them irrelevant- doing what they did but better and with a fraction of the overhead.

They were meandering along to their slow but eventual doom when this crackhead homeless woman Indiana "Froskurinn" Black (who apparently was a League of Legends player or commentator or something) went on a feminist rant, upset people pointed out she wasn't as bangable as the hot women hosts G4 was known for. She tried to revise history (apparently Munn dressing as a french maid and jumping into pudding wasn't done to "be easy on the eyes for you") and ended by telling viewers "if you don't like it, don't watch" to the seal applause of the male feminist co-hosts.

You will be shocked, dear reader, to learn that tons of the few people watching took her advice and stopped watching- turning their slow march to death into a freefall. Despite being responsible for it, she survived mass layoffs last week and mocked that fact on Twitter- which ended almost all the little support she had left.

At least Munn was quippy and hot, tatted lesbian was neither.
