Activision Blizzard sued by California over widespread sexism, sexual harassment

quote:

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) is suing Activision Blizzard over what court documents refer to as a “frat boy” workplace culture that subjects its female employees to gender-based discrimination and “constant sexual harassment.” Bloomberg Law first reported the news. Several former Activision Blizzard employees have spoken out on social media to corroborate these stories.

quote:

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in a Los Angeles court, alleging that Activision Blizzard — and its subsidiaries, including Blizzard Entertainment — allows widespread sexism and discrimination across the company. Several top executives, including Blizzard president J. Allen Brack, are named in the lawsuit for knowing about and enabling this behavior. DFEH said it conducted a two-year investigation into Activision Blizzard before filing the lawsuit.

Would be funny to see a class action lawsuit take off.

Not going to shed a tear for them.

Too bad Bobby Kotick didn’t get caught up in this too.

All this happening when FF14 is seemingly surpassing them in customer base. Lots of straws on that camel's back.

Blizzard going downhill.

I've tried to make myself play wow again lately. I just can't. I think I'm finally getting to the age where I don't like gaming anymore. I've gotten extremely picky on games I play. Not playing anything right now.

Funny how all these woke entertainment groups who lecture their fanbases for being toxic keep getting caught up in shite like this.

I hate it for any good people in the organization who get caught up in this mess, but overall, reap what you sow.

They are ALWAYS guilty of what they accuse you of, while destroying what you love so they can pretend they aren't.

But they don't want to associate themselves with Asmongold because of his "toxic masculinity"

I hate Activision.

But tbh, employees of the gaming industry seem to be a bunch of soft cry babies.

The culture at these places is soo damn weird.

Im just tired of ppl complaining about terrible work conditions when they probably somewhat put their self in that position.

Giving a dork money is an equalizer to an extent. In some cases, they quickly adopt the Chad behavior that they could not earlier utilize and become just as bad if not worse than frat boys. All the while, shitting out woke talking points and trying to virtue signal on Twitter.
