Literally nobody ever said that the outrage is about "tits and ass" in Blizzard games. That was a hot topic like 10 years ago.
Oh, but I have seen this in similar subjects from time to time, and not just in blizzard, but in other games as well.
The subject at hand is that Blizzard is being accused of having a "frat boy culture", and i offhand mentioned an old clip of Blizzard members being sleezy and condescending towards a female fan. This whole discussion of sexualization in video games is a complete non sequitur.
Oh no! SUbject about ,,frat-boy culture" for you may seem separated subject, but for me, it is connected with other subjects. For example, I may be this month jewelry thief, and next month I can beat someone badly, another subject, next month I could illegally seel cars.... So, while those are all three separated subjects, if you see the bigger picture, those are connected actually, because I am criminal! That is bigger picture, and whatever comes next from me is because of that single fact that I am criminal.
Similiar for Blizzard, last year reforged disaster, this year ,,frat boy culture", and what will be next? And for me, if I look bigger picture, it is because they are simple like this. Greedy corporation and one should not expect something different from them. But now, if I look even more bigger picture, I actually see similiar situation in Riot games for an even worse case. When several companies do a similar things, that means something.
When exactly did i ask you to care about that?
You did not ask me. But even if you do, you simply cannot. For very simple reason, it is part of someone's personality, you cannot ask him to care. It is inside him either he cares or not, either he has empathy or not. Also if he has, that also depends on the person. I care for example in most cases how people feel. I am perhaps the only one going around to user's profiles constantly cheering them, asking them how are they, if everything is alright (for years, since i am registered) because I am like that. You cannot do this for 14 years for fake. Either you have it or not. Thats why people like me. I do care about them, but that does not mean that I will care about everything people feel offended.
Dude, people on this forum has been outraged about banal things like missing unit shadows for months, are you really in a position to tell others what to be offended about?
No, I am not, and I would not dare to tell them even if I am. Here, we have sentence ,,sto ljudi, sto ćudi" which literally means ,,one hundred people, one hundred tempers", which means that everyone has his own logic, understanding, wishes, prirorities... And I am following that logic. But what I was talking about it that tons, millions perhaps of people were dissatisfied with Reforged. And yes, I was explaining this recently, many do not like missing 8 hours of videos, many do not like tons of bugs, many do not like false marketing .... so, while there are several reasons why people do not like it, it is the fact that THEY DO NOT LIKE IT and were willing to fight globally. And we did! And only that matters. Not just if you areo ffended by something, but WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO REGARDING IT. Tons of us decided to stop them, at least for that product. Thats what we did, not just sitting and crying. Some made videos, some downrated, some did propaganda on facebook, it was diversified, but worked. And again, no, I cannot tell anyone if they will be offended and by what, but I can tell you what is going to happen if Blizzard offends us like this again.
i don't see why you make it into such a huge deal that you need to write long preachy posts about how ludicrous my opinion is.
Whoa whoa whoa! Hold second tough guy:
1. it is not such deal, it is just constructive conversation (at least that is how I see it, nobody is offensive towards everyone, people share their own opinions and knowledge regarding the subject...), that's why we are here in this thread, which maybe you did not notice.
2. I can make posts HOW I LIKE AND FIND FIT. Simple, I had time so I could write more. And some things required more explanation than the others. Or maybe I do not know in certain cases to explain shorter.
3. I never said that your opinion is ludicrous. I was laughing at the fact that such a silly thing made her very uncomfortable. Like it matters much and it will change something. And if she is a journalist, she should get used to it, because they survive far worse things than moron working in corporations plays jokes.
I was trying to make point to prove you that YOU CANNOT EXPECT anything else from the damned corporation. They did far worse things than made someone uncomfortable. They made millions uncomfortable. That is nothing to them. They used to hire such arrogant people. It is not unusual at all, that was my point. For them it is just normal. Only mass rebellion is a language they seem to understand.
Of course i think the bad work environment is the heart of the issue. I just also think that firing J.A.B (and the other people who were fired, it wasn't just him) is part of solving that. And yes, Alex Afrasiabi was quietly let go a couple of years ago. Fran Townsend has stepped down from the company's "women's network", senior directors Luis Barriga and Jesse McCree were both fired. If nothing else, it's a start.
What is your opinion regarding this, do you thing that they will ,,solve" something or this is just show for public? You know what I mean, something what public should hear.
