This is so bad, like apparently people from Europe offices would go to the US get harassed and shit. Then there is this dude who always just kinda looked wimpy at Blizzcon Like holy shit there had been bad stories about the Blizzard culture for years but that... BlackScythe0 posted... Alex Afrasiabi, the former Senior Creative Director of World of Warcraft at Blizzard Entertainment, was permitted to engage in blatant sexual harassment with little to no repercussions. During a company event (an annual convention called Blizz Con) Afrasiabi would hit on female employees, telling him he wanted to marry them, attempting to kiss them, and putting, his arms around them. This was in plain view of other male employees, including supervisors, who had to intervene and pull him off female employees. Afrasiabi was so known to engage in harassment of females that his suite was nicknamed the Crosby Suite after alleged rapist Bill Crosby. Of all the gross stuff that's come out in this whole ordeal, I honestly dunno why you highlighted this part. This type of behaviour is not the same thing as being pinned down and raped. The level of toxicity is important and I think that's why there is so much backlash against the Metoo movement. I would absolutely love if all I had to worry about in life was being catcalled and "hit on". It's important to distinguish that from real assault. --- ~Nintendo 64. Get N or Get out.
