It depends on the focus of the movie/tv_serie.
I’m actually having the perception that nowadays everything is permeated with lgbt stuff for no particular reason besides “having” to include this stuff even if it takes no added value.
The gay couple in Modern Family is just fantastic, the bisexual agent in SWAT gives me the impression of “hey you see we do care about diversity”, but since the focus in SWAT is not the personal stories of the agents (or at least for me it isn’t in the slightest, like it wasn’t in Criminal Minds for example) I don’t really see any added value, she could brave been mono and the result would have been just the same to my eyes.
I mean... if you have a culture that fosters hard-work and crunch times to an extreme like Japanese do and another that fosters sitting on your fat landwhale ass while posting on Twitter all day (hello California)... can you really blame him for that conclusion?
As always the realist of our world is the racist of the far-left.
Who's going after the victims specifically though? People are going after Blizzard, the company, not the individual developers or the victims of this. People are angry with, and at, Blizzard and rightfully so.
They fucked up, both as an employer and as a service provider. Them being called out for it isn't "going after the victims" it's going after the company.
no no you don't get to have your cake and eat it too. whose to say that black guy wasn't a diversity hire?

uh huh, because the culture of working yourself to death or jumping off a building is the sort of ideal we should be striving for....
race realism is by definition racist so thanks for outing yourself lmao.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it emotions; it's an impudent workculture that stimulates that kind of behaviour by impudent, comfortably careless staff. Complete impudence with no sense of self and responsibility. The moment an issue arises or is made public, they flock to make the most baseless and wild comments possible, trying to win a medal for fake outrage and fake sympathy, by blaming the people that actively support the company they work in.

Actually there's been multiple comments about how whenever someone makes accusations such as these they should be doubted and questioned. Which is extremely offensive and one of the most harmful things you can do to victims of sexual abuse. I cba shuffling through this pile of garbage again to find them tho, sorry.
Time to clean house from top to bottom.
The point is more that instead of focusing on what should or shouldn't be included because it might be offensive or whatever is just tell a good story, make a good game, make compelling characters, just....do a good job. Trying to focus on pleasing everyone (or not pissing off anyone) ends up with you pleasing no one (not literally, but you get the point).
The hill you've opted to die on is a silly one. I explicitly said that people attacking Blizzard employees are in the wrong. The inference that should be drawn from that is an acknowledgement that some players are attacking individuals at the company and that I, strangely, consider it to be wrong. Weird how someone can acknowledge that there is some subset of players doing something wrong and simultaneously point at senior Blizzard staff (who likely knew about ongoing sexual misconduct but didn't give a shit until it became public) like Klontzas and say the comment about customers being part of the problem (which, for the record, was never about harassment of employees on social media) is stupid, especially when the relationship between Blizzard and its customers is purely transactional (i.e.: customers are paying Blizzard for ongoing development in a live service game). Again, because you seem to just constantly overlook it, the only problem that should exist is between Blizzard and its customers and it's on Blizzard to rectify the situation.
Regarding not hiding behind their employees, really? Did you not read the statement Frances Townsend who called the lawsuit lies and tried to dismiss the allegations? Or the official statement supplied to Polygon that tried to use the suicide of an employee as a shield? Really?
Sylvanas didn't even win the popular vote, she was elected by an indirect election of representatives. #NotMyWarchief
