I cant even begin to understand why someone who most likely lives far away from blizzard and it probarbly has zero impact on their personal lifes can feel disgusted… Has something relateable happened to you? I mean its wrong and all and its good this get to court because the people responseable should be punished… but these so called feelings stopping you from playing the game just sounds unbelieveable to say it mildly…

THAT IS IT. How can I forget that. They knew I was a gnome in World of Warcraft.
Empathy?

I am not talking about stalking them for months. I am talking about a simple question, to ask them out once, on a date. Thats it, they can decline/accept. Why is this labeled as harrassment?
Do not underestimate the power of feelings in modern society.

It is illegal to shoot a whale from a car in California. And you can beat your wife but only on the front steps of the court house. But not on sundays.
Because the guy wasnt handsome, had no 6-pack, was not 190cm tall, his thing wasn’t 20cm+, he didn’t have a good enough car, etc. Otherwise she’d be happy to go straight away.

Doubting their words while making a comparison to the situation of someone you personally know to have been falsely accused by a woman, that’s just your way to say that they’re lying
I condemn the culprits based on the court files, what game developers and YouTubers who know Blizzard have confirmed. You keep defending the accused because you clearly haven’t read the article linked, the court files or anything else.
Focusing on the guilty ones would make more sense. Innocent men don’t have any reason to be indicted if proven innocent. We’re not talking about a simple file, but a two year long investigation

Thats what I am trying to explain. She has a right to reject him but no to label it harrassment.
Nobody has labelled this harassment. People have clearly stated repeated instances of this behaviour is, not single instances.
You’re jousting with phantom arguments. Contrary to what the opponents of “wokedom” believe asking someone out once in a workplace isn’t really considered anything other than either sweet, unprofessional or cringeworthy depending on the employer and outcome.
Who’s the ‘she’ you guys keep talking about that has nothing to do with this issue?

Believe it or not but MOST women prefer a normal size, no need to be insecure about it. I know cause I’m a gnome ;).
Well anyway so what you say is the women didn’t like him, so why should she accept constant attention from that one guy?
I sense a lot of frustration here.

The post about it stated clearly, he asked her once after some time of building up his courage. Once. And she run to HR faster than a gold-digger after a Porsche!
Anyone has a right to feel disappointed in a company and it’s ethics, but to address your assumption above let me fill you in.
8 Years ago, Blizzard invited me to a summit at their Versailles HQ along with a few other MVP’s and social media influencers in order to develop how they interact with the community. I met lots of Blizzard employees in a range of roles, went on to become good friends with a lot of them, I even attended one of the Community Manager’s wedding. So yes, I can be disgusted.
Many of the people I met were from diverse groups that led me to believe Blizzard was a very good and supportive employer. What I have now read has brought that into question.

Your years of working in a male only environment are showing. You’d be surprised how often it’s men talk about the size of something and how infrequently women do. It’s another case of projecting their own fantasies into women.
On such explicit profiles or seekers or such, you will often find about twenty times as many men declare the size of a certain something as some kind of metric or achievement as compared to how many women express a single thought about it.
But carry on in believing that the male power fantasy in your head is the unattainable standard that all women hold.

O and from experience. Women don’t give a thing about your car. I know cause I once had a nice phat BMW 535 3.5 LITER V8 baby. but nah they don’t care. I only got extra attention from guys lmao, who came o nice luxury car, how fast etc. Nice wheels etc. NEVER a girl, NEVER. And when I went on a date they wouldn’t care if it was that car or my mom’s Suzuki honestly.

I’m sorry, I did not know the difference. Where I come from they’re basically used as synonyms.
