The stuff that happened 8 years before was... a lot more quiet. And settled. Reasonable that Activision people wouldn't think about it in 2013. Edit: As proof of what I'm saying, I'll point out The Cosby Show was still being syndicated on TV until the 2014 fresh accusations. This post feels way more about proving that you are right about something than engaging with the actual topic..... Anyways - that timeline actually sounds like it strikes the exact right balance for this Blizzard Cosby Chat to be really creepy.... Consider a couple of assumptions a) if there was literally no reference in the public about Cosby's actions by 2013, then they wouldn't have heard about it, so there's no conceivable way that this could have been a reference the horrible things he did, and would just have to be a reference to the sweater and ugly board room that has now aged extremely poorly. b) there's probably no way that a group like this would openly make this group and even tweet about it in todays climate of how blatantly obviously guilty Cosby is. That would just be horrible and attacked immediately So for this group to be a reference to Cosby's gross actions, then 2013 would need to be in a sweet spot where it had been surfacing enough that some people had heard about it and would potentially make crude jokes about it, but not widespread enough that it would be so blatantly horrible and that they'd get cancelled for it That time line looks like its in that sweet spot..... --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:956554723] in Activision...

Like, we s* on him now, but until he got convicted people would still have hate people for going after Cosby in the same way as if you were trying to go after Mr Roger. I'm curious how many people in here are aware that Cosby's conviction was overturned and he was released from prison, with a lot of people happy about it that think he was wrongfully convicted (it was because of a legal loophole where he'd been granted immunity for testifying in another case and a later DA decided to ignore it, the conviction wasn't overturned because he's innocent or anything [because he's not]) --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:956554859] in Activision...

StealThisSheen 07/28/21 6:42:33 PM #204:	Yeah, 2013 is the "wink wink, nudge nudge" time, since after it blew up there's no more winking and nudging and instead a slap across the face, so the timeline absolutely fits. And honestly, it probably makes it more likely, since that being the perfect time to "wink wink, nudge nudge" and make crude jokes about it seems more plausible that was the intention than them just randomly deciding "So, Cosby tonight?" out of the blue at that exact time. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

I cant say for sure what the Activision people did or did not know about at the time, but the rumblings of Cosby stuff had definitely been their way into the mainstream by 2013 You know how my brother in law did sound engineering for Blizz and some of you thought I was making it up? There's a reason I've been shitting on them for so long, and it isn't only because their games suck. You guys should maybe, just once in awhile, consider that I actually know what I'm talking about. I have been telling you Blizzard is shit for 20 years. It was no accident they turned out like this. My fear though is they knew this was coming two years ago and chose to let it go to court because they feel like California has no case.

cerna_zelva 07/28/21 9:16:49 PM #217:	kevwaffles posted... Didn't you guys know that only after formal charges are filed can you assume someone might have done something bad? Unless it's against a company. Then it still doesn't count. I'm not sure if you're trying to be ironic or not, but the very foundation of the justice system is being innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. In Cosby's case, he was very much guilty, because the conviction was only overturned on a technicality because he took a plea deal. Nothing to this point has been proven about Blizzard, and everything in the CIVIL lawsuit is all hearsay and vague insinitations (which you can tell if anyone in this topic would actually read the document instead of taking the slanted Kotaku "hot take"). Does Blizzard have a shitty frat boy culture because a bunch of neckbeards found themselves in a position with too much fame/money? By all accounts yes. Has Blizzard done anything illegal? Not at all. Have some Blizzard employees done illegal things? Potentially and probably, but you can't blame a company with thousands of employees for the actions of a handful. If that was the case, every company in the world with more than 500 employees is "guilty". <cite>cerna_zelva posted [p:956559658] in Activision...

xp1337 07/29/21 10:36:51 PM #233:	Some new allegations covered here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/technology/activision-walkout-metoo-call-of-duty.html Among them: The New York Times reports... Ms. Welch, who joined Activision in 2011 as vice president of consumer strategy and insights, said she had known that the company was reputed to have a combative culture but had been intrigued by the prominent role. Then at a hotel on a work trip that year, Ms. Welch said, an executive pressured her to have sex with him because she "deserved to have some fun" after her boyfriend had died weeks earlier. She said she had turned him down. [...] She did not report the incidents, she said, partly because she did not want to admit to herself that her gender was a "professional liability" and she loved her work. But by 2016, she said, her doctor had persuaded her to leave because the stress was hurting her health. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:956595864] in Activision...

It's common courtesy at large companies to have areas other than the restroom for women in these circumstances. --- ~Peaf~ <cite>Peace___Frog posted [p:956642221] in Activision...
