Curious that you focus so much on her gender.

I don’t pretend to know GP’s motives for putting it that way, but if I was going to put on my evil hat and kill off a gaming company/division I’d also put a woman in the hot seat. Not because I think women don’t understand gaming, they do; nor that I think women can’t run successful companies, they do; but because a large chunk of the gaming market is openly misogynistic and would root for the failure outcome I was orchestrating. Hell I’d even throw in some kind of golden parachute deal because that would enflame the trolls even more. People are easy to manipulate, and that’s quite possibly what’s happening here.

I think that is a much more complex plan than I have seen come out of most corporate planning and promotions.

It's like the Ellen Pao era of Reddit. Ellen was a scapegoat put in by the board of directors to soften the impact while they rammed through a lot of unpopular decisions. Then they replaced her with the actual CEO.

He just mentioned her gender.

Twice for no good reason, he didn’t bother to mention the gender or age of the CEO.

I didn't get the impression OP focused on the gender. Is it forbidden to mention a gender if it's female?

Seems to me the one focusing on the gender is you.

Notice that there is no mention of the gender of the CEO.

I think the point is that if it's irrelevant, why mention it?

Would you have responded similarly if the OP wrote:

> That’s why they gave it to a young man with no achievements whatsoever in gaming and no reputation to build off of

I would have. I think the focus on gender would also have been inappropriate.

More found it distracting and irrelevant.
