re: Blizzard Employees Call For Strike After Discrimination Lawsuit

I had a feeling the crazies would try to use this scandal as a launching pad. Women are getting sexually harassed so let's focus on our agenda of throwing out meritocracy in the name of forced diversity, not about the actual problem in the lack of accountability within the higher-ups when it comes to workplace behavior. As others have said, the promotions percentages are whatever. That's fine to ask for, but trying to parlay this into restructuring hiring practices to meet forced diversity quotas seems malicious to me. It doesn't sit right with me how they're trying to take the suffering of these women and use it as a weapon towards a completely unrelated agenda.

“improve conditions for employees at the company, especially women, and in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups.”

This in particular seems especially tone deaf as most of the victims in these allegations were not women of color or transgendered. They are absolute pros at making issues that aren't about them all about them.

Oh well, let Blizzard die. They made the bed, let them lie in it.
