Five authors contracted by Blizzard publicly made racist and vile comments against a group of people based on the colour of their skin. These individuals espoused hateful rhetoric and encouraged “stopping” the people of this skin colour. There is easily available evidence of these statements.
It would be consistent of Blizzard to publicly distance themselves from these individuals, and remove their NPC/other elements from the game just as they did to Swifty when he faced mere allegations.
As Blizzard said themselves “There is no place for it in our society.”.
This is a good reference to see what is going on in case you are unaware.

The title, its a quote. Who is being quoted? And, who is this “We”? And, what is “Racism”? Or “Vile”?
This “it”, that has no place, in what purportedly is Blizzard’s society, what is that “it”, and what are the prerequisites to be considered a member?

I haven’t posted in on of these, besides me saying we need to destroy the CEO of racism with 360 no scopes, but I think this should just be the 404’d with this left in its wake.
If you believe that Blizzard Entertainment is supporting racial discrimination by employing/platforming authors, that you believe are racist, or have had what you believe are racist views, then stop supporting them as a business.

Honestly these are getting boring at this point.

Why not just stop worrying about what other people say. Do you actually value the opinion of someone you do not know, does not know you, and likely just says things in order to get a reaction from strangers? I will never value the opinion of strangers who have IMO twisted views on things.

Would you say the same thing if the comments were against black people? I thought so.
Liberals hate white people and say it isn’t racist cause “muh white privilege”
