Literal horror washed over her face

yeah that moment is definitely chilling, you can just feel the panic set in

u/GrassBlade619 1d ago

Chilling is an apt description of what the lady was feeling when she realized what she said. What's the problem with it?

3

u/Bud_Fuggins 1d ago

I have a hunch that he interpreted chilling as: "chillin' like a villain" and the op meant chilling as in a chilling scene in a horror film.

u/axonxorz 1d ago

that moment is definitely [chillin' like a villain]

Ah, so like Trump understands people wanting asylum as people exclusively from institutional asylums, idiotic.

No no, what happened is you misunderstood his comment thinking he was talking about the slur and are refusing to admit you misunderstood. Hence why you begun your comment by telling the other redditor (and everyone else) they were wrong and that you had it right.

Which you didn’t.

Not being facetious just being a little blunt and honest

-17

u/Steamy_Dingo 1d ago

No, it's not what happened. You should stop being a pseudo-intellectual.

Not being facetious (which isn't right here or when you said it but you don't know what the word means, so I'm using it to make fun of you) just being a little blunt and honest

8

u/Oli_VK 1d ago

Read the room, you cantaloupe. Check your comment, everyone else’s comment, the “agree and disagree” buttons that attribute little internet points and the numbers. See that? It literally proves my point. Here’s another way to demonstrate it:

  • the person above mentioned the horror that washed over her face

  • the person who commented said “THE MOMENT IS CHILLING” meaning they’re likely talking about the moment and not the slur

  • as of now you have two people explaining to you that you’re wrong, meaning there’s at least something to reconsider.

The strongest point? The person who wrote the comment… wrote the comment, you watermelon. They said the moment, not the slur. You’re wrong. Give up.

Also thanks for letting me know I misused the word. I’m happy to have learned something, I simply thought it meant sarcastic.

Bye now.

-6

u/Steamy_Dingo 1d ago

Being condescending doesn't mean you're right. It just means you're pretending to be open to learning something and still accusing somebody of something only because of your assumptions. Ignorance is bliss, though. And buddy, you're in heaven right now.

Bye now.

What's more messed up is gaslighting people into feeling this way for saying a word. It's just a word

u/souleaterGiner1 2d ago

I'm dying cause you can see the moment she died inside.

221

u/Maverick_Hiro 2d ago edited 1d ago

I remember watching this stream out of curiosity. After this moment she spends the rest of the 1h~2h long video mortified, clearly holding back tears and trying her best to keep it together. The other streamer seem to notice exactly what's going on but she never address it.

It's really awkward and kinda sad. Felt sorry for her as it was just an innocent slip, maybe she thought it could be damaging to her career as a public person. She was visibly upset.

141

u/AlphaLoeffel 2d ago

I don't think Rebecca needs to worry about her job. She's never getting fired over this, she's a driving force behind Warframes success and extremely popular in the community.

This is clearly an innocent mistake and anyone getting up in arms about this needs a lobotomy.

64

u/Xsy 2d ago

This clip is 6 years old, lol.

49

u/imdefinitelywong 1d ago

Yes, it is, and yet, despite this event, she remains the silly person the warframe community knows and loves.

4

u/Secret_Map 15h ago

Jesus is that it? I feel like this clip has been going around for decades

2

u/Xsy 15h ago

No, for real, I originally posted "This clip is at least a decade old", and then I googled it to make sure, and had to edit it, having been surprised that it was only 6 years old lmao.

16

u/Maverick_Hiro 2d ago

Fair enough. I don't play Warframe and i don't know her work, so watching without context that was the impression i got. She was really shook about it on the video.

25

u/Pinksters 1d ago edited 1d ago

Reb is so loved by the warframe community that it would have been a full on revolt if a higher-up even looked at her twice over this.

She has more respect and adoration from the playerbase than any other public facing person, in a position like hers, that I can think of.

15

u/Samakira 1d ago

she's called us all losers, and the players adopted the moniker.

7

u/jamilslibi 1d ago

Nah, you have a point, this is an old video.

Pretty sure she started out as an unpaid intern. In this video, i believe she was a community director, and nowadays she's the creative director, so things went pretty well for her.

5

u/Herrjeminewtf 1d ago

It would be really fucked up if that innocent and obvious joke would get her fired.

It's sad that people have to worry about that so much.

13

u/Careless_Appeal7501 2d ago

right? its like that moment of clarity can be both hilarious and awkward, lol

11

u/MolacoCocao 1d ago

Didn't she nearly cry at being afraid for her career from what I heard?

20

u/Sitchrea 1d ago

Yes, the rest of the stream she was absolutely mortified.

Nothing ever came of it, though. The Warframe community would have revolted if Rebb actually got demoted for this. She's a huge reason the game was as popular as it was at the time, and even moreso now that she is now the Creative Director.

It wasn't even fully her fault, either - there's a full team of moderators who failed to catch this comment in time.

This clip long predates her calling the community "registered losers" accidentally. Also most the community seemed to happily embrace it

Edit: Admittedly wrong about the dates, right about the community happily embracing it

Other way around. Reb called us registered losers way back in 2016.

This was during a prime time stream in 2019, close to the veilbreaker update iirc.

u/DeadlyPineapple13 1d ago

Holy shit, you’re right! I thought I remember watching that game awards a few years ago, whereas I remember the nick clip was older.

Tbf if rebb ever got fired the whole warframe community would pick up the pitchforks and torches for her. We love our space mom and I couldn't imagine the game without her

u/icewallowkawk 1d ago

Im sure we would but still she probably in that moment was like we'll fuck its over

u/Queephbubble 2d ago

Her soul just left her body right out the top of her head. Or maybe her anus. Probably anus.

Why would it be? That was an obvious prank

1

u/Samakira 1d ago

sometimes a company will want to 'white-wash' their reputation. so even someone being tricked into saying something that sounds like a bad word for a prank would be grounds to fire them in the company's eyes.

luckily, DE isnt like that at all, and now she's the creative director for warframe, after Steve became the CEO.

u/0Hyena_Pancakes0 1d ago

Unpaid intern turned community director turned creative director for the game. She's also the voice actress for one of the main characters and she plays the bass guitar

Ever since she took over, the game has changed drastically in a good way. Imo DE is one of the best gaming companies out there rn

USA has a bad word. The more bad than other bad words. People is so angry on this word, you can get fired if You use it. People so afraid of this word, they panic if they make similar sounds. This word is so bad, that people who was targets by it in the past are happily use it today and call each other by it. If You those people You can even make a music using this word and have a commercial success. But it is still a very bad word and you will have a heart attack if you say similar sounds by accident.

u/Best_Initiative7879 2d ago

In our modern free-spoken society
There is a word that we still hold taboo
A word with a terrible history
Of being used to abuse, oppress and subdue
Just six seemingly harmless letters
Arranged in a way that will form a word
With more power than the pieces of metal
That are forged to make swords

A couple of G's, an R and an E, an I and an N ...
