Hmm... Looking at the screenshots and picture from Kotaku I realize that there are some interesting questions:
Who took the screen-shots and picture, and who sent them to Kotaku?
https://kotaku.com/inside-blizzard-d...ite-1847378762
I'm not familiar with the group-chat program, but it almost looks as if Alex Afrasiabi is the one who is logged in (name to the right and highlighted) - or it might be that someone checked on Alex and screenshotted it.
It might have been saved since someone thought it memorable, or objectionable (in the latter case there's at least one person back then that tried to do the right thing).
Or it might simply be that the program kept everything forever.
He clearly didn't take the photo himself.
This thread is about the lawsuit and events and actions related so too.
Not quibbling about pointless minutia to defend greg 'we have to do better' street (especially after releasing a preemptive statement already makes him look light a tool in light of this). There is already one claim that someone invited to the party by greg 'I saw nothing' street was harassed at said party EDIT: Although not by him.
Is greg 'It wasn't a good answer then and it's not now' street guilty of direct harassment or willful blindness? Who knows. The absolute best case for him is he comes off looking like he has a chronic case of foot in mouth and being splashed by the shit flying around.
Going back to my greater point. Assumptions yes but well-founded ones, we're all grown-ups here (one would hope) we can all understand how implicit statement works. No one goes to the mat trying to suck oxygen away from a sexual harassment claim by quibbling over why a room was named after rapist bill cosby without a greater agenda.
Tonight for me is a special day. I want to go outside of the house of the girl I like with a gasoline barrel and write her name on the road and set it on fire and tell her to get out too see it (is this illegal)?
For anyone defending the "Cosby suite" name...
1. While the accusations against him may not have exploded until 2014, they were still known to many people before then.
2. Even putting aside all the accusations, Cosby himself had effectively been putting himself out there as a total creep and rapist for decades. Just watch this clip of an interview with him from 1991 where he talks about drugging women to have sex with them (you can skip ahead to 15 seconds):
looks like the tide is turning against the woke
cosby suite found out to have nothing to due with bill cosbys allegations which came long after
blizzard overcompensating by adding "safespaces" making them look ridiculous
devs not working on game and accusing players who want them to work on game as sexist because there to busy doing protests
I am not sure why people think blizzard is "woke" from Blizzchung to how Bobby is a big GOP donor and the fact that a lot of the executives are made up of former republican administration employee including the Bush torture lady. It's pretty obvious that most of what Blizzard does is virtue signaling they never do anything concrete on the issues, it's been that way since forever.
- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
Even aside from the fact that Cosby's behavior was pretty widely known: https://ew.com/article/2016/02/19/30...-joke-carlock/
"30 Rock co-showrunner Robert Carlock has confirmed suspicions that a joke from a 2009 episode of the satirical NBC series was meant as a reference to sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby."
I'm actually more curious about the imperative so many feel to try to explain it away as an innocent coincidence. How invested do you have to be in protecting the ongoing and prevailing culture of abuse of women to pretend literally thousands of years of "isolated incidents" of harassing, raping, beating, and murdering women and girls never ever adds up to an identifiable pattern? (As an example, see the post in the incel thread claiming that incels are the most abused and marginalized group in the world. So close!)
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
I was for a minute, but then i remembered even though the cosby suite thing is unrelated to cosbys sexual assault, if the texts are correct and possibly "hot chixx" were sent there i could see a few things becoming a bit problematic, it could be like a rockstar taking a fan backstage kind of deal going on, it just depends on the big picture but its important to be fair and know that there is no rape accusations so far, and the cosby thing had nothing to do rape- so its not even in the same ballpark as the bill cosby accusations

Ah, I see - reading more more closely in the article that seems to be the case.
I would assume it was wiped together with the rest of Alex' web-presence last year, so it might have been screenshot by a lot of people (but I doubt it was visible to all) during a long time.
I don't care if blizzard turns out to be escaped nazis. I am still not playing that weebish final fantasy crap!
