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.

It's not the things that are in the charging document, it's the things left out.
Like drunk "cube crawls" are talked about like they happened at 2 pm outside the HR office, or were they at 2 am after working 16 hours straight to fix release bugs? This happened in "The Office" where Jim, Andy, Karen are staying late doing work drinking. No public outcry about it because this kind of drinking happens all the time in these sweatshop overtime workplaces.
Another case somebody was inappropriate with two "inebriated women" at an convention afterhours party. Maybe they said exactly what happened, I just glanced at some excerpts, but if you're a woman getting drunk at an unofficial party -- just don't do that. Well maybe they were made to feel like they had to go get drunk to keep their jobs or something.
Like I'm sure there's substantial wrongdoing there, but I'm also sure that California has misrepresented / exaggerated parts.
I also wonder if the person doing the inappropriate behavior towards the drunk women was even sober.
