I watched the whole video. I think this quote is very important to talk about:
"[A female employee] told me that in executive meetings... she would hear some of the top men at the company complaining about hiring women, saying, 'If we hire these women, we got to be more careful around them.'"
Let's break this down..
So unless Jason (or someone) clarifies, I'm going to assume the following: Blizzard leadership was concerned that if women were hired, the NORMAL behavior displayed by the male workforce, would BECOME offensive to women.
I'm assuming this behavior is as follows: Dick jokes, posters of women in bikinis, edgy humor, farting and burping, saying words like "dildo" "boner" "twat" "pussy", and basically any immature behavior that men often participate in, but is never intended to offend women.
But somehow when these men express concerns with (unintentionally) offending women new hires, not only is this NOT seen as evidence that they DIDN'T want to offend women, but even worse, this is now publicly use as evidence that Blizzard was sexually harassing women? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?
I'm so done with this stupid debate. Culture war journos destroyed multiple companies and game franchises, and then destroyed men's lives over LIES. But now, "bro it's complicated", and the "complicated explanation" is still full of stupid bullshit.
Yes sexually harassing people is wrong (duh).. but it's clear that typical male behavior (eg dick jokes) was just being weaponized against them.
You wanna say "Dick jokes should not be tolerated in a professional environment"? Congratulations, now your games are made by HR driven corporations. Enjoy your corporate slop. No refunds.
Asmongold calls Destiny intellectually dishonest for denying white culture exists
"I don't know why Destiny can't logically come to the conclusion that taking pride in the collective accomplishments of European culture, which is predominantly white, is effectively white culture. Western culture and white culture are very intrinsically linked."
"Saying no one reads Shakespeare and nobody cares about Dante's Inferno is like a fish saying nobody gives a shit about water. You are surrounded by the culture that was created by these narratives. Everything you exist in is a product of it."
As a long time halo fan, it is really sad to see what they have done to the franchise.
It really breaks my heart. This guy explains it way better than I ever could.
