probably because they have an automated system to create an internal forum for any purpose and a company with many tens of thousands of employees will statistically contain multiple furries

okay but like, "no sex forums" seems like a good rule or at the very least the kind of rule you'd want to enforce to avoid lawsuits

then again this is being viewed through the lens of a deranged moron so who knows what the forums are actually about

Also Gudeman was fired for implying one of his fellow employees, who expressed fear and concern at the election of Trump because he is a Muslim, was a terrorist.

He was “just asking questions” tho so it’s actually discrimination against conservative white males and not an open and shut case of making a hostile workplace for Muslims (per the court case).

all his "evidence" just makes me more and more disgusted with him and shows how out of touch with reality he is but if they get the right jury it's gonna be all "hm yes this is indeed political correctness run amok!" isn't it :sigh:

There's a lot of gems in there I found just by skimming I don't have time to screen shot for this thread, but check out:

- A screen shot of a meme laughing about Nazis getting punched as evidence Google hates conservative men.

- A leak of an internal security alert that get generated when you try to add a known white supremacists to your personal guest list telling campus security "FYI don't let this person in and escort them off our property if they show up." This is further evidence Google hates Nazis.

Basically it's starting to look pretty definitive Google doesn't want Nazis working for them or hanging around their property I dunno...

whats up with the selective blacking out of people's names, especially when some of those blacked out are relevant to the conversation

EDIT: like im sure the answer is "name and shame" so alt-righters can target them but how will that not generate a court case in its own right

In my experience, they're not sex forums. They're resource and discussion groups for employees of a particular sexual orientation or gender identity. Any sexual minority group in a major company tends to have these. It seems like Google just happens to extend this privilege to any group that cares to make a list.

Kinda hosed up when my managers wife gave birth and Google HR showed up at his door and said "I'm sorry this is illegal. We are here to take your baby and raise them as a transgender otter in the gayby collectivist compound we've built in Sunnyvale." Free food and RSUs were too good to pass up though, know what I mean?

the other posts provide “proof” that google enabled a hostile work environment for conservative white men, yes

to be honest that particular exchange isn’t discussed anywhere else in the filing (and is in the middle of a discussion of gudeman’s termination for unrelated postings about the coworker gudeman insinuated was a terrorist) so it’s pretty much gratuitously thrown in to get alt-right folks to harass this tim fellow

gudeman must have hated tim because the exhibits at the end have a bunch of his internal comments as “proof” tim hates conservatives
