Better yet make one a Christian, and one an Atheist then have them work together.
It's not even anything sexual, they hate female features and that's it.
Here are the designs that lead her to decide to yell obscenities non-stop in the workplace.

Clank is bisexual...How this vital information could be of any use to players, or to the universe of the franchise, I don't know, but it is VITAL.

This thread has more detail on how deranged this group is, especially when you look at the character designs that caused them to flip out.

Most child targeting institutions do.The industry has a problem with that actually.

The hooker who was working on the Treehouse and when Nintendo fired her she went on Twitter and cried that it was due to GamerGate. When the crazies were here anyone who talked about the REAL reason she was fired (for turning Nintendo-themed tricks under the name Maria Mint) were instantly banned.

Who's Rivet?

If she's at the helm Ratchet can always transition because "he always felt female stuck in a male body" and him and Rivet will have surrogate children. Happy forever, cry me a Rivet. Inclusive.
Welcome to the 2020's
She already left Kotor Remake:

Whatever influence she had, she's gone. So they'll change things if they want to. Perhaps that's why she quit and I see a pattern.

You know, I want to make an indie game called “Fuck your pronouns” just to see how fast these crazies try to “deplatform” it.

Is it me or are those much better than the final product?

It's like they're a bunch of sexual deviants who can't seem to control themselves and still act like high school kids. Projectionists and all.
I remember reading about how Rivet came to be designed and it left me shaking my head. Like, the creative process usually involves bouncing ideas off people; there’s a lot of back and forth and give and take, and the result is usually something better than what a lone individual would come up with.
Here though, it sounded like these people were adamant that their ideas and only their ideas were worthy of being considered, and that any interjection or disagreement was tantamount to a hate crime. The early design sketches a few posts up to a good job of illustrating how nutty these complaints came off. There’s nothing overtly sexualized or gratuitous about any of them, but their very existence is somehow disrespectful and dismissive of… who the fuck knows.

We need every cartoon creator to go back and detail whether their characters are gay or not. We really need to know if Mickey Mouse likes dudes or not.

Oh that nutjob. So these two crazies were fighting with eachother. God love upper management who have to keep a lid on them. Insomniac much more stable without them.

As for some of you talking about these concept pics, I agree they look better than the final version. These pics have some edge to them. The final one looks closer to a Bugsnax character.
Here are the designs that lead her to decide to yell obscenities non-stop in the workplace.
A for femininity, some artists just don't like female features. Their idea of power is a masculine image because the thinking is the bigger tits and hips you have the less powerful you are.
Oddly enough, despite the same kind of people dumping on stereotypes and unrealistic portrayals of female art in fictional art like gaming and comics, almost all of their art are thin characters - just like these pics. And often waif thin - just like these pics again. You dont see too many chunky female art in gaming.

I love Rivet btw. She was my favorite part of rift apart. I loved her design, performance, and personality. Not once did I question myself what kind of lombax she’s sexually attracted to, because it doesn’t fucking matter. Why do they have to force this shit onto everything? No one really cares who other people are attracted to.

It seems some are still insecure about their sexuality, so they must project it into everything they do. Or, they're just deviants.

I actually think the call for less feminine features such as breasts; is the result of the idea that gender is a construct and to be a woman, one does not need breasts, or hips, or vaginas for that matter.
Look no further than the encroaching changes to language, eg chest feeder instead of mother, or people that menstruate instead of woman.
It is the slow erosion of societal norms by a small group of extreme vocal activists that are trying to shape culture. 20% of US citizens are on Twitter, and 10% of those are the tail wagging the dog. Corporations pay attention because it is that which is visible, despite being completely removed from reality.
This obviously deranged woman, was she born a dude by any chance? Photos look somewhat indicative of it but I’m not sure.

No, they were on the same side along with Sol Brennan.
The thing you have to keep in mind is that these people were all transient employees. They all worked at Insomniac from about 2018 to 2020.
Mark Stuart on the other hand has been with Insomniac since at least 2011 as he is credited for 2011's Resistance 3, though that likely means he had been with the studio at least from 2008 or 2009.

Not to be a dick but Rivets character design.... like there isn't anything creative about her. An earring? Different color and smaller build.
I haven't played the game but from all the footage I've seen I think that's a reasonable conclusion.
Does rivet play or feel different than ratchet? Or do they just have cosmetic and maybe weapon differences?

They play and control identical, weapons are mysteriously shared too. The characters are just a plot device.

People have pointed out there are way too many similarities with Bunny from Sonic having the robotic arm.
It seems some of the concept art is also more inspired.

Looks like she wrote articles for a website, then got hired at bioware as a writer, then subsequently had the experience to work at insomniac.

Could have been way more interesting to have different play styles. And Insomniac knows that. Look at Ratchet and Clank, completely different play styles and I get it that Ratchet and Rivet are the same person in different realities, but they could have made better use of the arm and the hammer compared to the wrench.

Man… twitter should be used as a place to NOT hire people. It’s bonkers
God bless? You worked at a professional games company, now you're applauding rule34; considering you held that prior position?
Glad she no longer works there.

Damn, this designs look even more tomboyish, what is wrong with the twitter lady?

i'm laughing tho, it's pretty funny to see people act this crazy on twitter sometimes, self reported basically.

My guess is that this trio was going to be shown the door and they decided to leave on their own. Again, I think Sol Brennan might have worked there as early as 2017 but it looks like Sam and Xavier started working there in 2018.
Imagine working with these people during the pandemic while stress is already super high.
That's why you have to be careful when you hire transients with rough backgrounds, but the game industry doesn't really have many options, you have to hire people and replace people pretty quickly and kind of hope for the best.
