Activision Blizzard Sued by California over ‘Frat Boy’ Culture

  • > The suit also points to a female Activision employee who took her own life while on a company trip with her male supervisor. The employee had been subjected to intense sexual harassment prior to her death, including having nude photos passed around at a company holiday party, the complaint says.

    Yikes. After the stories that came out about Riot Games, it seems like this sort of behavior isn't super uncommon amongst Gaming Companies.

  • Anecdote: I work on a game team at Activision Blizzard and have seen nothing like this behavior. If anything people are terrified of creating a harmful climate because the company is so “woke”. (2 hour webcast featuring a non-binary skateboarder’s experiences growing up in the middle of the workday! [that’s just this week])

  • Piece of shit company that declares another character gay to cover up any bad press turns out to be a piece of shit company.

    Can't say I'm surprised.

  • that's awful

    and publically the company is super-woke (other than when Chinese/Russian profits are at risk)

    I guess it's projection...

  • not surprised this isn't getting that much traction here

  • Wow, pretty disgusting stuff. I suppose it isn't hugely surprising how sexist gaming companies are considering how sexist a large portion of many online games player bases are.
