... these are not remotely the same circumstances. You're comparing a work colleague to being a customer. The reason for being reprimanded at work isn't necessarily for the remark itself but the fact you're gossiping with other employees and potentially creating a hostile work environment. None of us work for Square Enix nor will what we say have any bearing on them. YouTube has been routinely called incompetent for their horrendous mismanagement of copyright strikes and the open bias they show. Are we really going to argue tuning down our language because the multi-billion dollar corporation's feelings may be hurt? At the end of the day, Square Enix, like YouTube, is a company not our work colleague or friend. Attempting to compare the two is ridiculous.

Ultimately, this should have been better tested, especially considering how poorly they've handled housing since its inception. Credit where credit is due, Yoshida's response is fairly good.
