Yeah you don’t rename one of the more recognizable faces of one of your big properties unless you know they’ve got some stuff on you. Perhaps ActiBlizz is aware of some stuff that they know will surface on account of the lawsuits and are trying to get out in front.

Blizzard has done a good job of keeping his actions from going public, but there must be a reason why they were so quick to fire him while not doing anything to other employees in the spotlight. The public wasn’t even going after his head (compared to other employees).

Just name him Huckleberry, he already has a voice line in game for it.

Taking inspiration from the former-Redskins, I suggest Overwatch Cowboy Character.

Overwatch Dev team != Activision Blizzard corporate

The day will be September 1st, it helps to read the whole article (or read the text in the image they posted).

I feel like if you do not organize events for elevating causes - and generally don’t do anything but make internet comments like any of us - your take on what is good or bad strategy isn’t very useful. What I see here is Twitch streamers trying to do something about a problem, and a ton of commenters making their own…

In both theory and in practice, larger streamers often use it after they have finished streaming to help out a small streamer who they want to bring more attention to, like a friend or just someone they like. Especially since a lot of people watching streams are only sort of half paying attention, they may linger and…

And if you think about it, it wasn’t until China, Russia, Iran, Korea, etc. started “raiding” western sites with inciting hate that the west mostly behaved civilly. Most bullying being only local and rarely spilling across sites. Make no mistake, obviously it isn’t just foreign sabotage and plenty of westerners are…

Streamers are terrified of actually doing something rather than just creating awareness because they might find out they really are just content cattle for large corporations, and could be easily replaced without much more than a blip to the bottom line at absolute best. are afraid of putting their livelihoods at…

Next week, streamers plan to step away from Twitch for a day in an effort to combat how the platform continually lets it marginalized creators down.

As with most of this stuff it’s easier said than done. It’s easy for someone to sit on a website and say people should just quit their job at Blizzard or stop streaming on Twitch. But in either case if that is your primary source of income then that can have very serious repercussions for your life.  

Performative displays, as one step in a larger effort, are fine.

Always nice to see a developer respond to customer concerns and update the content warning. However, saying the content should be taken out of the game is censorship. The best way to avoid the type of content that you find offensive is to not buy the game. Obviously there are some concepts or actions that are banned…

Using “this game may include references to” as a preface to the content it’s warning about in Boyfriend Dungeon is about as accurate as saying this jar of peanut butter “may have been produced in a facility that also processes nuts” as its allergy warning. It’s not just the crux of the story, but the foundation on…

I read it more as “Original content warning underplayed how central the more difficult themes were to the story, and most people are asking for an updated content warning explaining that those themes are a central part of the main story, since the game is marketed as a mostly-lighthearted romp. A few people want the…

the whole “I can say whatever I want because: comedy” thing is just a load of horse shit.

no, he absolutely did not got hacked and him saying that is such a troll. you can just hear the smiling while he’s saying this “Maaaannnn, I got hacked today. Can’t believe they got me.” he’s been problematic for a long time.

Fuck him and his lame-ass attempts to cash in on her pain with tired “I’m not afraid to be edgy” material. No different than any of the other trolls who see her suffering as an opportunity to make people angry and ride the wave to clicks, notoriety, etc.
