Lead Writer Sam Maggs confirms that Rivet is canonically a lesbian

She's openly bi. She has a small wiki page (made longer with a big list of works) and is married to a man. I guess she likes girly girls, but writes about manly girls? I dont know.

Or maybe she's just a liberal hypocrite who says one thing (cant make females too girly), but in reality loves cute females with long hair.

Originally when I googled her I thought she was trans, as she looks like a guy in make up. But I think she is born female.

Thats what i thought at first also

Edit—-

Just googled her. I take that back

She said six months ago she was joining Aspyr and working on the KOTOR Remake. Doesn't appear she is with them anymore. Hmmmm wonder why? No complaints from me tho, its a good thing she's far from that project now.

If she steals credit for as little as who came up with a video game characters name, who knows how far she'll lie and steal in the name of self gratifying fame and affirmation.

How bent is her sense of morality or grasp on reality..?

Kids are glocking themselves on camera in the pursuit of internet cloat, so nothing should be surprising.

Nice to see she no longer works at Insomniac.

Best part of this story.

A lot of these gen z people just dont know how to exist in an enviornment where they aren’t always being told they are the best and smartest person ever all teh time. They don’t even know what to do with themselves if they aren’t put on a pedestal

So true.

I can understand 40 year old vets at work trying to get their way due to experience and tenure. But when you got 25 year olds with almost no experience get hired trying to boss people around (probably due to them bossing their parents around), it's hilarious.

We all laugh. And our company isnt afraid to fire people for bad attitudes, bad work, not showing up to work etc... So many of them quit or get fired. The best one (which I'm mad I never saw it in person as I sat on the other side of the floor), was when people told me this young female hire was bawling her eyes out in her office. The director chewed her out for not knowing her shit as some presentations were due soon. She got fired about two months later.

And then another guy (young millennial) just didn't want to show up for work. He made it a point he wants to work from home going forward on his own even though the boss said you got to come in like everyone else. Even more absurd. He's a sale rep so he gets monthly car allowance to boot. He got axed.

And during big town hall meetings, the youngsters sure love doing snapchat.

Amazing. Never seen this from veteran workers in 20 years.

The level of Narcissism on display, and needing to be the center of attention or having all their opinions be "validated" ("I need my safe space!" even at work) is truly a horrendous disaster that's taking over an entire generation. Nothing good will come of it.

"Maggs is openly bisexual[62] and dedicates herself to including queer representation in her writing"

Sounds about right.

Also explains why Mass Effect Andromeda was a clusterfuck.

This woman could not write to save her life.

Why must these fuckheads force everything to be gay/lesbian/queer?

She's not a writer, she's a political activist larping as one. Idk how these people even get hired.

Good lord she requires mental help.

I can't believe developers were hiring this mentally deficient creature.

There seems to be a trend of female gamers/bloggers getting roles as video game writers despite having no history of writing anything of note.

See Alanah Pearce as an example.

I love that her rant is back firing.
Your name wasnt mentioned in the GDC talk boo hooo......but wait you also forgot the person who actually came up with name after claiming you came up with the name?
Ohh wait theres more....all white cis males.....you forgot the female bi coworker who remembered for you who came up with the name Rivet.
Ohh the inhumanity.

Game development really is a corporate hell hole eh?
If we heard Bobby Kotick was in meetings roaring out loud about tits there would be a collective meltdown. Here someone is stupid enough to tweet that they disrupt development with harassment. Who would is stupid enough to hire her after today?
 
I seriously don’t understand why writers and anyone else has to announce their made up video game characters sexual orientation or pronouns or anything in that arena. Are people really basing their purchasing decisions based on this kind of information?

Why is the cartoon bunny rabbit a lesbian and why does it matter?

Gotta get that money from people who only screams but doesn't purchase your games.

Praise the girl with who come up with this essential info how brave and strong she is and and ask yourself why a cat-like character in a videogame can't just be a cat in 2022.

Funny thing is how she goes on a tirade about how she "won't let a man take credit"
but then later adds that.. actually... it was a man who came up with the name Rivet after all.

I bet she experimented petting and whatnot with the other female lombax....oh wait, she was the only lombax alive in her universe :lollipop_squinting:

Can't wait for clank to morph into a dildo in the sequel, let's put the dualsense to good use.

This bitch sound deranged AF.

These morons live on twitter, social media is their entire existence no wonder they slap pronouns on a fucking cartoon as for the rest of the world nobody gives a fuck and when this shit does come into our orbit i look at it the same way i look at my shoe when i accidentally step in shite, curse, wipe it off and move on

I'd love to see a proper breakdown of whiney bitches on twitter, broken down by industry.

Honestly I don't think it's specifically the gaming industry although I think "creative" areas naturally attract a "type" so you see more of them here.

However you come across people like this everywhere, I certainly have over the years.


Essentially she is this, the fact is the manager who called her out was doing his job. I have had managers that just ignore it to the detriment of the team, then we got a new one in and immediately he shut it down, and the problem colleague left soon after.

Bully's like this are everywhere and you need to ignore there "I'm always a victim" bullshit and treat them like any other staff member, including the rules that apply to everyone else.

They don't last long when they are expected to work like everyone else.

It's fucking disgusting.

I deplore the fact these moronic creatures put sexuality as the single most defining aspect of a kids video game's character.
Is it surprising though? These are the same people who are fighting to be able to talk about explicit sexual topics with Kindergarteners. They are sick degenerates.

There are LBGT lobbying groups that push hard to get these people hired in jobs when they can influence culture. It's like a cabal really. They will call out and shame any company that doesn't comply with their orders on social media. You saw how they put pressure on Disney to speak out against the Florida bill. A bill that an overwhelming majority of Floridians want, but so much for democracy i guess.
 
Just stop and realise for a minute that companies actually have quotas now to hire batshit insane people like this and bring them onto projects. Like, anything you watch and play from the USA is going to have a certain amount of input from narcissistic, resentful woke nutjobs like this.

Why the fuck does it matter when game story doesn't even go into "romance" area for any of it's characters and series is mostly aimed for kids?
