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
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.
Probably got one of their requests for more man hatred propaganda rejected by Activision.
I don't want to see Activision die, but if it does, maybe the world will wake up to women's actual goals and repeal the "discrimination against women" law.
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.
Publicly maybe, but if I was another game company, I'd start purging women and feminist allies as fast as I could to prevent me being next.
A high profile collapse caused by them would be a blessing, because it gives the right to gatekeep women out.
Repeal "discrimination against women" laws!
all discrimination laws are fundamental violations of property and association rights
The idea of them is to make sure that minority groups can progress fairly in society.
It doesn't really work when you call the half of the population that are the darlings of all the big corporations and governments "an oppressed minority group"
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?
Because if everyone could do that, the good people would have nowhere to buy shit because of people who they had nothing to do with.
That would also be a very easy division for our better halves to exploit.
Freedom of association.
Gatekeeping and discrimination are sometimes good
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.
After they just destroyed a company worth billions?
Besides, you just sprinkle in some male feminist firings and call it a restructuring.
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.
Wait for the end of this kangaroo court case before you say that. I want them to prevail, but I highly doubt they will in the long term.
They'll either sell their soul and die that way, or fight it and be killed by large donations from Melinda Gates and the UN to the "legal team" against them to set an example.
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.
40bn has to be spent somewhere.
There's going to be a lot of things happening regarding them in the next couple of years. They have money to burn and their end goal is closer than ever.
I don't fully agree with your ideas, but there are a lot of good points here.
Particularly this. The majority of men aren't judged to be worthy of their presence, in their sick little minds.
Look at OnlyFans culture, it's the clearest demonstration of this. Those women would never care about those men, but they love exploiting them.
Oh yeah, I fully agree with that. I just don't believe there's no such thing as sexual harassment - I'm sure there are married women of tradcon beliefs that wouldn't just sleep with their boss because he's attractive.
Wow, this is a stronger condemnation of them than anything I've ever said, and I've accused them of creating bioweapons.
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."
I'm guessing they're lashing out before they all get thrown onto the 7th Call Of Duty Warzone cosmetic item team.
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!
You can make your gender female in Cold War so...
all we need is a better analysis of the whole thing and what comes from it.
Supposedly one of them committed suicide.
So that's one in God knows how many years, vs exactly how many were pushed to suicide because of women's propaganda?
I guess it's my turn to do a Jess Phillips and laugh hysterically at my enemy taking themselves out.
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.
Always has been, but they weren't this obvious about it.
