Final Fantasy 14 Players trying WOW?

This is a yikes comment tbh.

Nowhere at all does it mean they support sexual predators lmao.

But... it's also true.

The news is quite clear on who's running things and making cash off WoW.

Just because your intention isn't to support predators, doesn't mean it's not your impact. Like... if you buy T-shirts from Klan-R-Us, it doesn't matter if they're just pictures of wildlife or cats... you're still putting money into the hands of the Klan.

Supporting any Blizzard property IS supporting sexual predators as they are still getting paid more money that almost any of us will ever see in our lifetimes.

Perhaps before throwing fingers and acting like ignoring Blizzard is going to do any good, maybe we should listen to the workers that are protesting and putting their selves on the frontline if we care so much about sexual harassment and other types of abuse inside the game industry? If you're not willing to hear the victims, then stop acting like you're doing something good for them and others aren't.

Simply saying "blizz bad, everyone involved with it is bad!!" doesn't help anyone. You just turn Blizzard into a villain and ignore the bigger and deeper problem: the gamedev industry.

You're seriously comparing a company that actually acted against their own workers with a cult like KKK? Like, KKK doesn't have any nuance, if you join KKK and work for KKK it's...... miles away from working in a video game and suffering because your boss and the industry you work for in general ignore/hide abuse.

You're still supporting Blizzard. Don't twist it to be about the poor employees that chose to stay.

It's disgusting how you are trying to use the victims to protect the predators and trying to shame good people for not sharing your belief.

I'm not "twisting" anything, I'm literally using the words of Activision Blizzard Walkout, who are the victims, that you know very little about and yet doesn't care to go and victim-shame them, talking about how they "chose" to stay there and so they're to blame for the company's crimes too... Crimes that affected them. Who are you to know what are the good employees and who stayed and who didn't? Pff.

I couldn't care less if you don't want to give your money to blizzard, but there's nothing "good" about being an arrogant without empathy that just wants to point fingers and feel like they're doing a lot of good to the situation, please spare me. If you want to have any interest to supporting the victims, you go and read what they're saying instead of placing people into a little hate-corner and calling it a day. Otherwise, refrain from talking nonsense about the situation, because that's quite disgusting.
