for saying something they didn’t like, most likely. I swear, people on this forum use that tool like a “dislike” button and it’s out of hand.

I personally think cancelling a company because of a handful of jerks in it is in really bad taste. Find the bad people, root them out and get in some fresh blood and fix the issues! Because let’s be honest, there are GOOD people who are there as well who are all being labeled as a whole with the scum. I feel bad for the innocent people involved. But in all honesty, a corporation is a corporation and they all have their bad eggs, including Square Enix. I think it hit Blizz so much harder than the same news for other companies because they were already in the spotlight from the whole Asmongold + FF14 debacle. News reports and journalist LOVE to dramatize negative stuff further and put more emphasis on it for a view.

For me this is the chance to wipe out the old tainted blood and get refresh of blizzard … I don’t think they company will fall off , and I sure don’t think the game will suddenly shut down. There still have many good people in the company need us to support , surely include the female employee, they suffered enough , I wish they can being treated better after this flame but lost their job at the end .
Of course, and that is your opinion. I never once said the entire company should be cancelled. However, people can feel lost, uncomfortable, unhappy, and uncertain in events like these. Yes, it is rough for the good ones still there. But at the end of the day, many were already displeased by the expansion, be that due to the writing or the gameplay itself. For anyone uncertain, this may as well have been the final straw.
To be fair, Blizzard hasn’t been OUT of the spotlight in years. It started with the disastrous Diablo Immortal reveal, and then followed with the disastrous Warcraft 3: Reforged release, and then of course the equally as disastrous Blitzchung controversy, and then the 9.1 release date, the poor reception to Shadowlands, the disdain towards the Sylvanas cinematic, Asmongold switching to Final Fantasy 14 content, and now this. Blizzard has been wallowing in controversy for years now, so having a court case on top of everything, it’s no wonder it’s hitting so much harder.
At the end of the day, there are more victims to this than perpetrators. You have those who are innocent still working there, the victims themselves that deserve justice, and the playerbase as well. But everyone is right in their reactions, be that to continue supporting the company or taking a step back because it hurts to log in. I’m in the latter group; my image of a bastion of family has been shattered. Sure, anyone can mock me for believing that a corporation could be a family, but there was some degree of hope and desire for that to be true. Alas, it has bitten me hard, and now I can barely stand to log in. My drive for the game is gone, and I was already questioning leaving because the story has never been worse than it is now. This just made the decision a bit easier to make. Granted, I can’t say I’m leaving for good, but I need a very long break from Blizzard.
Oh dear.
Are you saying that you have some kind of prejudice against women on how they are supposed to act, and if they do not fit how you want them to fit then they can not be women?

First I never said they did.
So what you are saying is your limited experiences trump my own long term experiences. You have seen so much that what I have seen is not possible to lead to my beliefs. Got it.
BTW, if you want to debate, leave out the insults like “old man” or going to straw men (like you mused above mgtow or white nationals). Logic stands on it’s own without insulting others

I was not.
Who’s dumb enough to believe this alleged male victim? lol
Then why would Midare have to be a sweaty cheeto stained finger man?
Why not a sweaty cheeto stained finger woman?
Do you also have preconceived opinions as to how a woman should look to actually be considered a woman?

You’ve insulted my own point of view by saying I’m too young to have the experiences you have had, I responded in kind.
And what I was saying that if your conclusions are that women are somehow less trustworthy than men, or vice versa, that your conclusions are incorrect regardless of the experiences that led to them.
Usually when I see someone claiming to be from a certain demographic using that as a shield to make derogatory comments about said demographic, I tend not to believe them because often people lie.
However, like Candace Owens, sometimes people are just like that, and I could well be wrong.
Why was the OP flagged in the first place? When people here seems to agree with it?
So because it is a man we can’t believe it?
Derogatory comments?
Midare said that women also do not take male victims seriously.
Nothing derogatory about that.
Unless you want to admit that you are derogatory towards men for implying that they do not take male victims seriously?
Are you derogatory?

And yet I still play.
No she was saying no women take them seriously at all, which is not the case. It’s a shame that abuse of men is underreported, but that is more of an issue of toxic masculinity and bro culture.
Because it’s freaking Japan. No woman would ever behave that way in an office in Japan. This guy obviously watches too much jporn and most likely got fired because he’s a bum.
it’d be pretty nice if anyone had it on film or at least audio recording in this age of smart phones.
after the first time it’d happen to me i’d be gathering my proofs heh
People do all kinds of surprising jerky things at work. Men a d women don’t be so quick to assume it didn’t happen because the women is Japanese.
You think Kuroko Shirai’s kind is non-existent!?!
