Title says it all!
There are many many players out there who’re thankful for the consistent chaddery you’ve shown in the face of a racism and misogyny mentioning lawsuit. There isn’t a strong enough amount of appreciation you can receive for keeping the issue on focus despite some really borderline colonial ignorant attempts to make such a historic moment in wow history merely about wanting (insert better game mechanic feature,) despite that never causing such a dent in the company’s pockets before the lawsuit.

Regardless of people’s backgrounds, (Asian, LatinX, Lgbt etc,) ALL people deserve to work in an environment free of the inappropriate white male identity politics and behaviors mentioned in the lawsuit culminating in what the lawsuit refers to as a “toxic frat boy culture.” It is because of your consistent demands for self respect of yourself and friends that B033Y K. is out :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: !!!

As mentioned on page 3 and 13, for a long time it felt like hiring people who looked like others around them, but most importantly, were okay with those social identities being weaponized against employees was more important than hiring people who simply wanted to make good games.

Though i don’t currently play WoW at the time being, I will have you to thank when deciding to re-play a game with more than a band-aid put over the many tumor’s. Thank you 10x :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I did like the petition of 1500 signatures from blizzard employees wanting Bobby Kotick to resign. That must be a very awkward situation to be in

C’mon, I know its in style to hate whites right now and blame them for everything, but its exactly this way of thinking that makes you no different than what you describe.

lets love each other already.

I’d say its pretty bold of you to assume the exposed instances of weaponized white male identity politics and behavior is synonymous with being white itself.
In fact, this push wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for many white people who have friends that would be impacted by this or just a decent moral compass. They might just get laughed at by people who think such a bold generalization, but I’d urge you consider not all white people were okay with the merits of the lawsuit

I don’t think he’s taking the concept of a diverse white black etc wow that will tolerate none of what the lawsuit alleges occurred lightly. It’s easier to be a hero in practice for some, time is his enemy not us :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
