Think we are about to see another wave.

I find it odd that someone can have a great experience in a community that is being sued for fostering "frat-boy culture" unless you are fine with men being subtly sexists on a daily basis. The guy is BS. He is actually denying that Blizard has a frat-boy culture but at the same time allegedly sides against them by saying "oh no I am so disappointed by their reaction"

The actual quote:
"I find Activision’s corporate response wholly unacceptable. I don't stand by it, any of it. It is evil to usurp a victim’s story into a rhetorical bludgeon, and it is abhorrent to reply to these accusations with anything other than a well-thought-out plan to correct these abuses."

He is saying nothing here. That's his attempt of trying to appear trustworthy. What he really wants to do is to hide the fact that he is a paid actor who is trying to deny the fact that Blizard is fostering "frat-boy culture" through social media.

I don't understand how you got that out of what he said.

When the company has seemingly decent people step forward like that guy did, Blizard can make the argument that they are not actually fostering a frat-boy culture which is the allegation they are being sued for.

He never said that they haven't, he said that he has been lucky to not experience it but that he feels bad that others haven't been so lucky.
Which is probably the case, not every team have had this problem based on what I've seen.

If anything I think he might just be trying to protect his friends on his team who are not bad people because some are harassing and going after just random Blizzard devs.
And he's trying to say that most people at Blizzard are good and don't deserve to get harassed which I'd imagine is true.
Blizzard is massive, not everyone is going to have the same experience.
I mean ultimately they wouldn't have been able to put games out if it was just a complete circus at the office.

Even if you may have heard about some things too it doesn't mean that you knew the details and just how bad it was.
Even with people in charge, Blizzard devs have mentioned that they tried to contact them but that HR intercepted them and then gaslit and scolded them over it.
A similar thing happened at Weta Workshop too, HR is like this wall inbetween the employees and the people up top and they go out of their way to silence things and shove it under the rug.
I think there's genuinely a lot of things that were just shoved under the rug without those not directly involved even finding out about the real extent of it and being under the impression that HR is/ has dealt with it.
