It was before Bill Cosby was known to be a sexual predator.
At this point i am just hoping they kept all the underage interns well away from these animals.
I wonder if people are going to cancel Riot Games as well after Ghostcrawler tweeted in 2013 that there always needs to be a Cosby Suite.
Read my post above.
Which is kinda weird, if you take a look at the pictures.
Yes because you know the stuff now. It was a joke about an actor who wasn’t known to be a sexual predator at the time.
In the article it says the joke was originally due to Cosby’s sweaters but by 2013, allegations for sexual harrassment were already there.
I give the benefit of the doubt bro but many people claim that it was known long before 2013. Not looking good that’s for sure.
A fun fact - Cosby was released last month after a Supreme Court ruling that prosecutors violated his 15th amendment rights.
He was appearing on tv shows at the time and people didn’t refer to him as a sexual predator at that time, It was 2015 when people distanced themselves from him. There is enough stuff against them as it is without adding random wrong information stuff on top of it. Does nothing but hurt the actual real allegations.
The first trial against Bill Cosby was in 2000. By 2006 there were already multiple accusations against him. In 2014 the mainstream was already making jokes about Bill Cosby, with South Park featuring him in one of their episodes. In 2014 it became “correct” to make fun of him, because the accusations were almost undeniable.
So everyone was wrong for buying a micheal jackson ticket for the London concert because he had a trial before? Having a trial means you’re a 100% a sexual predator? Judging people because you have hindsight.
Ghostcrawler’s fresh statement about the topic (The Coz/Crosby Suite), by the way guys: https://twitter.com/Ghostcrawler/status/1420505317314420736/photo/1
What I’m saying is that it is perfectly reasonable for people in 2013 to call it The Cosby Suite fully aware and applying the meaning with intent, especially when the shared chat messages (which Alex Afrasiabi posted himself) present a clear intent to womanize some.
Now, they’re saying it is an old Blizzard inside joke, which might very well be true. And I’m willing to grant that. Still the conversations are terribly creepy.
One thing that’s being talked about is how Blizz employees would harass female Blizzcon attendees and the screenshot corroborates that.

It was an open secret since the first allegation back in 2005.
Such absolute bull when you read the WhatsApp messages.
so ghostcrawler is now going to be hated who knows if riot will keep him after this
Greg Street: “Re: the group chat. Dave was talking about his own wife and friend”
Dave:
“I am gathering the hot chixx for the Coz”
“You can’t marry ALL of them Alex”
Jesse:
"You misspelled … " (word I can’t type out)
Yeah, Dave is totally talking about his wife and friend.
