Limited Run Games is the latest company to fire an employee as a result of the cancel culture mentality we’re often told is nonexistent by people on the Left.
The game company announced the termination they say resulted after ‘investigating a situation’. No more details were offered, so we can’t tell you what factors went into the decision to fire the employee, but we can tell you what people are saying about the matter on Twitter, who appears to have been axed, and what the people of Twitter believe led to her termination.
LRG respects all personal opinions, however we remain committed to supporting an inclusive culture. Upon investigating a situation, an employee was terminated. Our goal as a company is to continue to foster a positive and safe environment for everyone.

If the reason for the firing is as described on Twitter, it appears Limited Run Games doesn’t respect personal opinions or an inclusive culture at all.
Where @limitedrungames stands behind their decision so vehemently they turn off the replies.
Congrats, clowns, you've assisted a small vocal group of trolls in bullying a woman for wrongthink. https://t.co/QQwMyViQBk pic.twitter.com/xQuUInBvhs

It appears the employee was likely sacked after a small number of accounts accused the employee of transphobia on Twitter – a scenario we’ve seen play out too many times.
This appears to be the tweet that many took issue with. It has now been deleted but can still be viewed on the Internet Archive.
This tweet is over 6 years old, but is also just as reasonable as it was on the day it was tweeted. It’s a perfectly valid position to be concerned that perverted men would take advantage of transgenderism to help themselves to women’s restrooms. Only the radical trans activist world denies this.
It’s hard to say exactly what prompted the cancel clown crew to spin up their rage machine against a years-old tweet, but everything after that played out according to the template:
- Leftists gets offended.
- Leftists dig up tweets to demonstrate why they’re offended.
- Instead of just ignoring the opinion, leftists start tagging the company the tweeter works for to get revenge for having their feelings hurt.
- Company caves to a handful of whiny leftists and fires an employee.
So, tell me, is everyone at @LimitedRunGames a transphobe, or is it just you?
Also, what do you think your HR department will say when they see this stuff being posted in a way that links back to the company?

So, @LimitedRunGames, is @KaraLynne0326's account going into protected mode under HR instructions, or is she just trying to hide from the backlash of her own transphobic statements?
It would help to know if she's being disciplined or coddled.

These folks like to pretend they’re too fragile to suffer the slightest offense, yet they’re often the first to respond to words with a brutal attack on a person’s livelihood.
It’s time for companies like Limited Run Games to stop pandering to this nonsense.

Several accounts were involved in the tattle tweeting campaign, but perhaps the most notable was from the account ‘Purple Tinker’, a left wing transgender Twitter user, who seems to be no stranger to controversy based on a quick search. Limited Run Games should have been more careful about being bullied by people like this.
The first complaint from Purple Tinker was that the accused woman followed the wrong kinds of accounts. Much tolerance. So open-minded.
Tinker then went on to highlight more wrongthink follows and then cited the aforementioned tweet.
Up next was a complaint about the Limited Run Games employee’s opinion on the Jessica Yavin ‘refused to wax me’ controversy. If you don’t know, be thankful.
This was followed by the predictable ‘I’m gonna hurt your business if you don’t do what I want’ threats that are typical of the radical woke mafia.
Mission accomplished. A woman’s livelihood was impacted because a handful of intolerant radical leftists demand that no opinions except their own should be allowed.
More like Purple Stinker, eh?
Purple Tinker apparently got the attention they ordered because their Twitter account is gone – deleted or deactivated. One way or the other, we’re sure this person is now convinced they are the victim in this entire debacle.
Twitter did not look kindly on the canceling event or Limited Run Games for cowing to the pressure.
She is probably better off not working for woke totalitarians. I can’t imagine having to deal with the pronoun brigade 40+ hours per week. Also, @LimitedRunGames deserve only your scorn, not your money. https://t.co/Urvx15yhq9

Go woke, go broke? Limited Run Games will find out.
It’s a rather niche market. Perhaps alienating customers to meet the demands of a few yapping yahoos might not be the best business decision.
I hope you get sued and I hope the employee cleans you out and you go out of business

Many Twitter users were hoping for a similar limited run for Limited Run Games.
“We respect all personal opinions…except those we fire people for.”
“We remain committed to supporting an inclusive culture…except for those we exclude.”

Nailed it.
Thanks for letting me know your company has no backbone and shouldn't recieve a single dime from me.
Could have just said NOTHING but instead decided to pander to random weirdos trying to cancel people.
— Juno Maxwell 🎄 (@Goddess_Maxwell) January 7, 2023
People are getting a bit fed up with this nonsense.
This is the kind of person LRG will obey. The kind of person who will go through *SIX YEARS* of your tweet history to see if you've stepped out of line at some point. pic.twitter.com/zTkHiCms6M

This person was chomping at the bit to get on their high horse, hoof it over to Twitter, and stage a dog and pony show of offense they hoped would harm the employee.
Limited Run Games may soon find out they should have put their cart before the horse in this case.
I won’t spend a dime on your products. You fired an employee because someone from a small percentage of the population was offended. That wasn’t a smart business decision. It’s all going to be downhill from here.
— David 🐊 #FloridaStrong (@Fl0ridaBoy74) January 7, 2023
It’s not looking like the wisest move.
With over 3 million views of their tweet, and lots of negative feedback, Limited Run Games disabled replies to the tweet and are likely in a bit of a panic.
Congrats! Your company contributed to the bullying, harassment, and firing of a woman based on her personal beliefs. Way to “respect all personal opinions” 👍🏼
— Steph Anie (@mynerdyhome) January 7, 2023
Congrats, indeed.
The best way to be inclusive is not to exclude people you don’t agree with.

Seems simple enough. LOL.
You blew it. You made a really bad call here. https://t.co/UDUe4t465k
— Shuck (@LaBeardGuy) January 9, 2023
It would have been so easy just to ignore it.
You fired a girl because she liked Harry Potter and the Mob decided it was Transphobic.
You bowed to the mob.
You have no honor. https://t.co/l5cYjyvehl

This is likely what started the scavenger hunt into the employee’s old tweets. There is seething hate for J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, and the employee allegedly expressed excitement for wanting to play the new Harry Potter game.
Only transphobes want to play Harry Potter games, according to lunatics.
We can’t confirm these details because the employee’s account is locked.
Hmmm 🤔 Wonder why they’ve limited replies.😆 https://t.co/bIyRd4r2bS
— 🤬MAMADOXIE🤬 (@Mamadoxie) January 8, 2023
Must have been a limited run of replies. LOL.
If you bought LRG products, stop now. This employee was fired for (checks notes) following Ian Miles Cheong and Libs of TikTok on Twitter. This ends now. Vote with your dollars. https://t.co/LpTQFbaihC
