Interesting, but also a bit odd in spots.

The craziest thing about the whole situation was that we were already in the midst of hiring a new community manager because I had expressed in the previous months that I was feeling burnt out and wanted to try something new. Social media in general was taking a significant toll on my daily life and mental health and was in need of a change. January was going to be my last month as the community manager.
Honestly, I have no idea what my future will bring me. I’m not sure if I’ll attempt to pursue content creation again, get back into the gaming industry, or try to find something new and fulfilling.
So January was going to be your last month in that position anyway, but you had no plans for the future beyond that? You might attempt to pursue content creation again, even though you were burnt out from it to the point of leaving your position? So what position were you planning to work on after January ended and why not pursue that elsewhere now? You planned this months in advance didn't you? Or was there really no plan or direction you were heading in for February? It seems like LRG was looking for a reason to get rid of her by that point and this controversy just conveniently presented itself.


I have no hatred toward anyone who was involved in the call for my termination. If you personally and truly felt like I had hurt the community in some way, then you have the right to that opinion, but know that I do not see it that way.
If we could take one thing from this situation it would be to bring to light the dangers of cancel culture. I have always been opposed to it and have voiced my disagreement with how it is handled. It can be hurtful to all parties involved. If you don’t like something, vote with your wallet and move along. There’s no need for vicious attacks on people or companies.
"You have every right to your opinion if you truly felt I had hurt the community, and by that I mean please keep it to yourself and STFU."

It feels a bit weird to me with how it's worded, and this was carefully written with planning. Just seems a bit contradictory.
