If you havent been paying attention to our lovely namesake you may have missed one of the numerous articles that have been circulating the "tech" sphere about sexual harassment and a "frat boy" atmosphere. This has now escalated to an "open letter" decrying Activision for saying the allegations are false. I want to make sure you read this right, company was accused, company refutes accusal, people protest company for not instantly ceding guilt. The term victims was already used in the open letter which is making me scream allegedly more than Micheal Jackson. These troglodytes dont want to make you games, they want to parasite off of the company that was supposed to make you games.

The layoffs I believe were customer support jobs for destiny after bungie ended their publishing partnership with activision. Some things are also something that sounded like a one time thing that probably happened and got dealt with by he immediately like the drunken cube crawl. Other allegations are next to impossible to prove without it being written down somewhere. there is no way to prove that you were overlooked for promotion because of sex and race. No one admits that they are mediocre or bad at their jobs.
Eh, I've seen how this actually comes about.
1. They imply to women that software dev is where the party is happening.
2. They force the company to hire women.
3. The women show up and are like "where's the party??" and encourage men to start one. Naturally a group of women encouraging men to start a party...what do you think normal men are going to do?
4. Women want to sit back and have the party come to them, then decide if they feel like it that day or not, or want to party with those people or not, so they get the men to come to them in a way they can join or not join depending on however they're feeling that day.
I've heard a phrase "going around creating problems, so you can be called into solve them" that's pretty close to what it looks like they're doing here.
