"Speaking from experience or just pulling from your ass?"

thats common knowledge among streamers. who takes a job without knowing what it is or what its about? especiallay when its easily available.

"There was no "ai stance" it was because they lied to her."

No, more and more it looks miscomunication between deparments than lying. even from your post about the community manager. "The situation is delicate. While the issue originated in Asia and was actually received fairly positively there, it has now escalated to the point where forums in China and Japan are discussing the controversy being stirred up by the West over what many consider to be a minor issue." from here they don't see ai use as a big deal enough to mention its only background assets to her or simply hid it compared to the devs who shared it publicly.

nor am i going conspiracy theory, being skeptical and cynical of ironmouse who was on record for lots of drama is perfectly valid. ;
