Oh and my take having read nothing here.

There are two main dynamics going on here with Blizzard. One is Blizzard is having PR, internal, and law issues with diversity. So they want to do something about it.

Then there are Blizzard employees who went through a lot of fucked up shit who wish to be heard. So Blizzard is going 'here, heard' and hoping no one notices the union busting and other things still going on.

I think my stance is I am cool with anything they want to do, adding customizations in WoW was awesome of them and a huge success. They just need to make sure the games were good while doing this and as a fan of blizzard in general (sorry Ulti) I am willing to give some of this quality a pass due to people who are gone. I mostly have enjoyed D3 the ten years it has been out and the core gameplay of WoW is fine, so if DIV is good and WoW turns around some of their systems then I will be happy with quality and they can do what they want. OW is diverse as hell and was fine until content draught in terms of core gameplay loop, so they can have their cake and eat it too.

So yeah, half big business, half pushed around employees wanting to feel heard. One is cynical, one is valid but maybe overzealous, and as long as the game fundamentals are better than the past few years post-launch everyone is chill. Chromie in WoW is trans but no one really cares because Chromie is awesome and well done in game.
