Everyone who is outraged at the company should stop playing this game now to prove their integrity.
Or you can be sensible and be outraged at the individuals who did bad things.
This mob/tribal mentality is tiring.

Someone lost their life over this mistreatment, you nonce. Thatâs not some ill-defined, nebulous media entity. Itâs a person with a mother and a father, people who love them and they loved in turn, just like you and me.
Practice empathy. Itâs the only thing that matters.

Or be outraged at the company that permitted and enabled this behavior. This is not black and white, the corporation is not blameless. Theyâre just as responsible as the perpetrators. That seems sensible to me.

This is a whole organizational thing, not a couple of bad actors. The only way they could be absolved of this is to fire a LOT of the leadership, up to and including Kotick. And they wonât.

Correction: when they âthinkâ they have it in the bag.
Is there evidence of the company stating that this behavior is ok and permitted? Youâre jumping to conclusions to fit your own narrative.
Oh it canât be that ba- oh yikes that is truly disgusting.

Uh, yeah, lots of it. The HR department was basically crooked and in league with the perpetrators and worked to silence allegations.

Where did you get this from? I admit I havenât read the whole thing.
There has been a person or more killed for EVERY concept in existance. You going to wage war against every reason someone dies? Itâs like saying âOnly black people were slaves.â Itâs an ignorant comment to say that when in fact, every Civilization on this planet in history has been enslaved in different ways. Every color has been a slave and has had slaves. To say an entire company is corrupt because something happened to someone while working is basically the same thing. A company is made up of thousands of employees, which all harass each other in different ways. No corporation has policies saying âGo harass womenâ or âPrevent women from doing things.â These cases are almost always a co-work vs a co-worker, which gets handled by HR internally.
Heck, slavery today only changed itâs form. Instead of individuals being physically enslaved, they just simply enslaved everyone into systems split up of Governments, Religions, and Corporations. They force your entire life to chase money which they basically control overall and determine how valuable everyoneâs labor is. They lie and convince you that there is some âdreamâ you can work hard for and reach. Most people just work until they die and have no idea what to even do with their life. But itâs always too late by then because you are old by the time you can afford to live a life.
Very few get to live comfortably. While the rest of us labor for them.

Harassment of any kind in the workplace that results in a suicide is not something to be downplayed. The fact that you are even attempting to do so says a lot about your character.

This is why I think itâs insanely hilarious when I see people buy Blizzardâs pandering to BLM and LGBT issues (or any corporation for that matter).
Reading all the results of this investigation is just⌠Damn. They truly just donât care lol, if it wasnât obvious already with the HK memes.

Gaming culture in the early years involved a lot of asian people. Asian people (Chinese, Phillipino, Japanese) have always been a huge proponent of the gaming hobby. The sub culture has always been there. Get your fact straight. Black men have always been part of the gaming culture as well; especially the JRPG, Nintendo and 2D fighting culture.
Maybe in small town USA itâs âexclusiveâ, but in other parts and cities around the world, gaming has always been diverse.

Jennifer Hale just re-tweeted something in regards to this. Sheâs not and never has been very shy about criticizing Blizzard.
Absolutely YIKES.

But the thing is that this wasnât dealt with internally. It wasnât dealt with at all. Rules against harassment may exist, and they may even have consequences stated, but if, in practice, those consequences are never enacted, that is the fault of the company.
