The Activision-Blizzard complaint from California smells of bullshit

I'm in two minds over this. Is it more "Male Feminist is exposed as a depraved creep, more at 11" or is this "A Lesson that Leftist Business "Ethics" is a losing game".
The latter. From Ars Technica:
hahahaha, ofc they are excluded, if you work for a gaming company but have no interest in gaming.
They just want unfettered access to the orbiters.
because they are. objectively.
I would guess both, leaning toward the latter. If the heads of your team wanted you gone, an accusation of sexual harassment was the most efficient way to do it. However, if you were a friend of the people running things, you could get away with basically anything shy of a criminal conviction.
Seems like a win win
here's a link to the complaint:

apparently the suicide had an ongoing sexual relationship with her immediate supervisor (paragraph 48 on page 15). aside from the butt plug and lube there seem to be no pertinent details included, so impossible to know what really happened there, save that she almost certainly did not "committed suicide while on a company trip due to a sexual relationship that she had been having with her male supervisor."
They seem exaggerated to be sure, like a woke SJW men hating wet dream to push more women in to the company.
What I find strange is for them to push it now when the company is not doing great to begin with.
Well it is hard for a parasite to kill a healthy host.
Why would it want to kill it, this particular parasite wants to use it to push ideologies, you do not do that with a company that does not have fans to begin with. All I could think off is to use it to push further women in to gaming companies at a global level. Do not be like activision type thing.
If Activision dies it will be blamed on "toxic masculinity" inside the company and "toxic masculinity" inside the fanbase.
Is a win-win for them, they get to push propaganda and if it fails they get to push propaganda.
all discrimination laws are fundamental violations of property and association rights
Freedom of association.
Gatekeeping and discrimination are sometimes good
Except that isn't how they work at all. In practice it legally sanctions against pattern recognition.
If a business sees that 90% of the shoplifting is done by blacks why shouldn't he be allowed to ban blacks from the store?
Yeah because firing only women over a short period of time is not going to open you up to a huge law suit at all.
I wouldn’t call activision blizzard destroyed. And since it’s you we are talking about, you aren’t talking about only firing women who are responsible with costing the company money. You are saying all of the women even those who do their work and go home with 0 issues. And I already know your response is going to be something around the lines of “all women evil wiwjahdjahavxhd” similar to what all of the game journos and feminist do with gamergate. Youre a broken record with bs identity politics.
Bobby Kotick may be a greedy motherfucker, but he's smart enough to know no one would buy a woke CoD.
Uhhh remember when CoD Whorezone had the un-skippable BLM social justice loading screen last year? They seem to have bent the knee. Uninstalled and never looked back.
Good riddance!
all we need is a better analysis of the whole thing and what comes from it.
The fact that California is bringing the lawsuit almost certainly points to it being total bullshit. This is the state that made it illegal to not have women on your company board. It's a single-party rogue socialist state. Their courts are the most routinely overruled in the country. They managed to find OJ innocent. Anyone dunking on Blizzard right now is aligning themselves with a much bigger, much more evil entity.
