Somehow I suspect it would have been handled very differently if the abuse in question was being hurled in a different direction. It's very unfortunate that in many places, it is seen as acceptable to direct discriminatory abuse at what are considered to be 'safe' targets'.

I can't link evidence here for obvious reasons, but as an aside the problem also supposedly trickles down to some other employees who design quests and the like. It's one of many reasons why I stopped supporting Blizzard in any form.

Luckily FFXIV does not appear to have the same problem with its employees, though I do hope care is taken when interacting with the portion of the FFXIV community that is located on Twitter as some of the statements made by certain content creators are similarly jarring and discriminatory.
Thats just called "wokeness" on Twitter.
