Surprised this wasn't locked after Blizzard's last post with regards to their $4m donation, not that I'm complaining.
Carry on lambasting them, they deserve it.

No one cares. I'm sick of companies grand standing with their politics when it suits them. It feels like companies are all doing this so that there isnt an angry mob of looters and rioters that burns down their buildings.
Fixing racism by giving special treatment to people you'd otherwise ignore.
Smart.
Also why is it only black people getting their pity party.. theyre not the only ones that have to deal with racism

China is kicking Africans out of the homes and hotels they're living in while blaming them for the spread of Covid. So yea....if anyone wanted to see what actual true systemic racism is, there's a link to watch it.
This thread is gold. People calling hypocrisy and shit. Blizz is acting as expected every time. Laid off people? Money / Blitzchung controversy? Money / Supporting BLM? Money. Every time something happens Blizz is going to follow the standard brand playbook in protection of money. Its nothing new.
As a person of color, I don't find that being racist to white folks is a good thing either and you'll find many others who agree. In a perfect world (my world lol), we'd all be able to joke about race without offense and maybe one day, not talk about race at all. Please, don't let some misguided trolls on the internet or whatever media you consume make you think otherwise or sully the message that is being spread.

You're a good guy and I wholeheartedly agree with your idea of a perfect world. I do think you might be a little naive in pretending they're trolls, though. At least, at this point. These kinds of narratives are far from obscure- it's not just "the few crazies on tumblr" that this stuff is stereotyped as being. But I digress.
Nonetheless happy to see another person who is somewhat sober about it. In this world where everything is highly polarized and tribalist nowadays, it makes me a tad hopeful.

That is why identity politics seem to be everywhere and suddenly pop in every single every aspect of life and entertainment? Forcing entitlement and priviledges, affirmative action and all that because you are a part of "minority" regardless of your individual traits? That is exactly the same tribalism and has nothing to do with civilisation and civil society as we know it.
S.H.
Oh you're absolutely right! There are definitely some trolls but others are very much real in their opinions and hate. The line blurring between the two. It hurts in particular to see it so much more within gaming communities. You'd think a hobby cultivated through logic and boundless creativity would have a more kind community but I suppose that's my naivety speaking.
And I'll agree that I can be naive lol. I think it's because I've remained neutral for a lot of my life on this topic and many others that involve being vocal and standing up against negative opinions. As I've grown older, I've come to be more passionate and more active about what I feel and see regardless of how I may come across.
Thank you BRAND. I will now continue to give you money.
Does it really matter how sincere this is when they are giving 4 million dollars or more?
