Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
They have chosen two "co leaders" for Blizzard. The titles are not president like JaB had meaning that Bobby Kotik is still the real one in charge it's just more obvious now. Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra are assuming the new leadership roles at blizzard. This article has a little bit about them. To me personally they haven't changed enough to earn my money, but it's a slightly positive step in the right direction.

Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
I like dressing in skimpy clothes sometimes so I think it be sad to remove it from the game but I kinda see sense in removing it as a theme for trial of style

Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
I'm not talking about forced modesty. I am talking about there being more diversity. A common problem in the video game industry is the sexualization and objectification of female characters. Male characters are often much more diverse in how they are portrayed, whereas female characters are usually not, especially in Eastern video games.

Re: Activision Blizzard being sued for discrimination against female employees
As far as I'm concerned? Every character, regardless of gender, should be able to toggle between "skimpy" (read: how it typically displays on a female character) and "modest" (read: how it typically displays on a male character) designs on most if not all armor pieces. That is all.

They're still facing some other charges, such as on the state level and with the SEC.GormanGhaste wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:42 pm I had heard earlier about the federal lawsuit. Blizzard settled with the federal goverment for $18 million this week.
