I hope Dinoflask releases a video of Daddy Jeff confessing to sexual abuse of his employees

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

Yeah that was something that struck me last week, is Jeff has to be involved, and that's why he just left so abruptly a few months ago.

From a couple of the stories I read he was aware of the behaviour and involved in minimizing complaints and protecting abusers, though I haven't seen anything that portrays him as being directly abusive. But it wouldn't be super surprising. Especially if you've seen his old rant that was making the rounds a few years ago.

The entire management team is likely rotten. Tbh I'm kind of curious of how many employees or former employees you see now condemning the behaviour were in fact abusive themselves.

Bah the picture won't show on the forum, I don't feel like loading it somewhere to make it work. Sad to see Ghostcrawler part of that.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's most of them. Presumably, Afrostabby's getting the brunt of the actual direct consequences because he was actually named in the suit and that makes him a convenient scapegoat, not remotely because he's the only one that's guilty.

From IGN:

A source who has since departed Blizzard talked about how the room designated for breastfeeding didnt have locks. Men would walk into the breastfeeding room. There was no way to lock the door. They would just stare and I would have to scream at them to leave. IGN understands that breastfeeding rooms have since been updated, with locks added to doors.

Just charge the oglers with "child porn", since they're literally watching a baby on boobs

Why would dudes wanna watch that anyway? I like a nice set of tits but something about the context of breastfeeding takes the appeal of the boobs away for me. It's like how seeing a hot chick naked could be cool but I don't want to see her taking a big taco bell diarrhea

Apparently stories of abuse are spreading from not just Blizzard, but the greater Activision in general

Probably happens in a lot more gaming companies than blizzard honestly. It's a pretty male-dominated industry. Wouldn't be surprised if more stories like this come out from other companies

The sad thing is that 99% of Activision customers are just going to say "I don't care, when's the next Call of Duty"

Weird, Activision has hired WilmerHale to keep the workers from forming a union over this
