Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
And here's an image with an overlay showing a bunch of Blizzard names (some not at Blizzard yet, some have since left / been shown the door) posing in the suite, around a picture of Bill Cosby.
They're all proudly posing with a portrait of a rapist. This was 2013, from memory. At that time Cosby hadn't been convicted, but many allegations had already come to light and there's no doubt the reason for them naming the suite that, and why they had a picture of him. Even if they believed rape was wrong, they still didn't care enough to take it seriously. They obviously found the reference funny.

For the most part I've avoided retweeting opinions from influencers and streamers, even if they're good ones, because it's not about them and they're not central to the issue, but I have tried to amplify the stories of many women who experienced harrassment, discrimination or assault while at Blizzard, and the stories of some men at Blizzard who had insider information, or who have been involved in the walkout protest today.

Not sure, sorry. There may be no way to determine that.

I don’t know whether or not they will be fired. I think that if anything, those most responsible will just choose to leave the companies.
@Mania There are people who do not see the problem with anything that has been revealed to have been going on. Since WoW is an online game, they have the benefit of anonymity and don’t have to worry about consequences.

Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
dont look for a wife xD… it was a joke. but your post to me was clear that you didnt have such thick skin. hence why i asked if u were a girl… i just wanted to test my radar.
clearly the person was offended and felt bad after a run or two of being flamed or such, indacation of lack of emo controll. hints towards a typical gender.
I flagged the posts but I could not report said personIRL YES, most western woman wish they were born with a stick
Please flag or what ever you can do.

Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
I wish I could flag them but I'm not EU. But I imagine (hope) they'll be dealt with quickly.

There's now a second lawsuit, taken by shareholders, alleging a coverup of the harassment charges has misled them and harmed their own investments.
