Having read that article, I’m glad I don’t support Apple. I wonder why I couldn’t find this. Google is my search engine, and all of the articles I pulled up were about how it’s all rumors. Maybe they’re in cahoots. Then again, when you work with the Chinese as Apple does, there’s only so much you can ever say. How much power does the Chinese government have over Apple, like with Disney?
Now here’s something you’re saying that I agree with.
I visited China in 2015 when Google was banned. You can imagine the hoops they had to go through to become reallowed in the country.
Google is not the search engine it used to be.
And, as I’ve already stated, it’s impossible for me. I work from home, it is my livelihood. Again, you can stop telling me how to live, thanks!
Would you continue to work for a company that has not dealt with its sexual predation and oppression issues?
Probably not, as I fall into the demographic that is most often targeted in these types of environments.
understandable. Have a good one!
No one stopped watching movies either, and we’ve know for decades that the film industry treats women worse than dirt.
Brb i’m getting another 6 Iphone
thats hillarious considering square enix has fired a developer for reporting sexual harrasment and you tools are flocking to ff14 lol
Sorry but my iPhone works better then any Android phone I’ve ever had.
I’ll just see myself out thx
My iphone works like it’s supposed to.
the employee’s of Wow accused of sexual discrimination don’t.
If as much effort was made by Blizzard to fix poor working conditions, and assuming responsibility for their lack of proper human resource training, and enforcing good business practices, people would not be leaving.
As for the iphone post, its pretty simple: IF you don’t like an iphone, don’t buy one-and just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean we need to conform to your opinion because what you think is more important.
Some of us just prefer them. 
What else do people rely upon when taking a stand if not a sense of principle, what’s fair and what they feel is morally right - of course emotion is part of it. We’re a social species and how we feel about something is always involved in decision making. Even if you’re making a dispassionate decision, there is always some feeling of what’s right or just or fair behind it.
And also, I don’t know where you get the idea that I’m saying people have to make a stand or not make a stand - people are free to do as they feel they want. My only objection was saying that if a person made a stand it makes them a hypocrite because a dam broke in China or the rain forest is burning. That is pure hogwash.

I don’t like iPhones. just hate 'em. lol
Now see, here’s the thing about that: even if I do everything I reasonably can to reduce my environmental impact/footprint to a minimum, it ultimately won’t make a difference. I, as a lone individual, don’t have the faintest glimmer of hope of changing the situation. It might grant some vanishing ghost of satisfaction to know that I did The Right Thing™, but it’s ultimately taking a whizz in the ocean unless there’s a much larger concerted movement.
Foisting responsibility for climate change onto the average individual, many of whom don’t have the luxury of choice that would enable them to make more responsible decisions, is a con that the megacorps have pulled off exceedingly well in the past half-century – it’s not the couple on the corner who both work full time jobs to keep food on the table who have the power to enforce change. It’s not that couple who spends vast sums of money lobbying and lining the pockets of politicians. They’re effectively trapped in their role in the system and may not ever get the chance to escape.
A bit rambly, I apologize, but the point is that it’s unavoidable for people to take different attitudes toward different societal woes. In an ideal world, they’d all be given equal priority and solved expediently, but humanity probably won’t have that ability for a few hundred more years at minimum. As it is, the power gap is just too large.
P.S. be careful to not conflate “consistency” with “inability to perceive shades of grey”.

iPhones aren’t even the worst. Many made-in-the-certain-country shoes and coats use Xinjiang cotton picked by concentration camp labor.
People in glass buildings shouldn’t throw stones.
The US labor shortage is being tackled by slaves in some industries. Slavery of free men was outlawed after the Civil War. Jailed people are still free game unfortunately.
