No, allegations on Twitter are sufficient proof by Blizzard standards.

I guess then allegations from former employees are sufficient proof for me.

Blizzard doesn't fight allegations of sexual harassment, Blizzard fights the allegations of unequal treatment (Females being passed over for promotions, being the first to be laid off, etc..) and obviously pay gap.

The whole harassment thing is just noise to them, firing some guys that have either comitted, covered up or may have only been alleged of doing it matters little to them in the long run.
Treating your staff however equally and most importantly, paying them equally, that's where they draw the line.

Harlots in the den of mortal delights are replaced with fruit baskets

Sorta surprised someone hasn't made an addon for that yet. Would be kinda funny.

You can only have a company caring about its employees or a company swiftly firing them due to unprobed allegations, but not both at the same time

I think it's difficult because i think you'd have to effectively replace voicelines, which isn't under allowed under the ToS as you are forbidden from modifying the game's data.
You could play the the original lines at the same time, but i don't think you can override them.

In theory you go into your game's data files, delete the current voicelines, replace them with the original ones and you're set, but as said above, you're not allowed to do that.

Even allegations that have been proven false? Because that's where we're at right now.

No, we're at the point of "The accuser has had a restraining order placed on them by a court, making it illegal for them to contact Flynn or his family".

There wasn't even a court case whether those allegations are true or false, they never went beyond the "allegations posted on Twitter" stage.

People have their career ruined by some dementiac allowed to roam free on twitter, but cancel culture still does not exist. Quite curious

Lol, just abandoned a completed quest because the NPC was missing. Guess I wasn't crazy at least.

I mean it's subjective. I'm glad you like the old voice more? But I always found it grating and would mute the game until he'd stfu.

How has his career been ruined exactly? He lost out on recording a couple lines for modern Kael'thas and he already got paid for his old lines. Is nobody else hiring him or something? What's curious is that the people complaining about cancel culture are doing it in front of their audience of millions of fan.

To sit here and act like sexual assault allegations have 0 ramifications on someones career whether they be true or false.... your either being willfully ignorant or just stupid, obviously it has an effect on his career. How dense are you

The person I was replying to said that his career was ruined. I asked how his career was ruined exactly. His career wasn't ruined, he lost out on voice acting any new lines for a minor character in World of WarCraft. Whining about "cancel culture" is just whining about there being consequences for a person's actions. False accusations of any kind are really shitty, but that's not an excuse to stop holding people accountable.

You're right, the current one, because the old one got removed lol.
