While superficially this will have some impact, Kotick and his protectors will still pull in their bloated salaries, while the employees who’ve had to put up with this bullshit will take pay cuts or be let go. Which is why the executive culture is a festering cancerous wasteland — there’s no effective way to attack it…

And you think this bro culture only exists at the top of Activision? That it and an army of apologists and sycophants don’t represent a sizable portion of Activision’s customers? You’re dreaming if you think there will be enough customer traction to change corporate executive culture, be it Activision or anywhere…

If corporations are persons and can thus sue for damages, and Bobby Kotick has caused hundreds of millions in damages to Activision Blizzard, it seems like a lawsuit for the damage he’s done to that sum against Kotick’s earnings is in order.

“The beatings will continue until morale improves.” — Tone-deaf CEO.

Yeah, that’s not a ‘despite.’ It was specifically because the whole thing was a racist clown show. Of course he was going to get away with murdering two people. That was the intended outcome all along, and the whole process, from start to finish, was structured to ensure it would happen. From racists, to racists, for…

It’s the rabid religious-conservative mindset. Their beliefs leave no room for ‘error’ in their shared delusion of a divine plan. So in their minds, if you’re in prison, you deserve to be there, one way or another. It doesn’t matter if you’re ‘innocent’ of the crime you committed. ‘God’ must have seen fit to put you…

The only job either of them are ‘qualified for’ is someone’s prison bitch.

Number of people injured or killed while ‘protesting’ BLM? None.

Except that the racial disparity you’re citing is almost exclusively a US phenomenon (appearing again only in nations with similar histories of extreme prejudice). The gender ratio of prison populations is actually is even more dramatic in other countries.

Maybe. On the one hand, the gender ratio of prison populations clearly indicates that the overwhelming majority of criminal behaviors come from the male gender. On the other hand, *SOMEONE* is going to step into a power vacuum, and women are not immune to the attitudes and behaviors on display in people like Kotick.…

Maybe management ‘systems’ that foster and heavily rewards sociopathic behaviors aren’t really so great as a long-term strategy. But, you know, ‘I got me and mine, so fuck you and yours’ didn’t become the American way because people are good at long-term thinking.

Well, it was either this, or it was a giant publicity stunt that was worked out and agreed on in contract as part of her being hired. And I couldn’t honestly say which one was more likely, given the level of short-sighted stupidity on display inside Actiblizzard.

What’s the difference between a sociopath and an indifferent algorithm? One of them can *somewhat* be relied on not to act in self interest whenever the opportunity arises.

To say nothing about melee weapons being made of wet cardboard.

They’ve been quite consistent about rejecting democracy for a while now. This isn’t a recent turn of events.

Once again proving:

I’m having trouble determining which ones are the horses and which ones are horse’s asses...

He’s not desperate. That would imply that there’s any danger of losing the case and he’s playing the racist card in the hopes that he can harness the jury’s racism. No, he’s acutely aware that he doesn’t have to pretend to not be racist. Just like the judge isn’t pretending to not be racist. This is an absence of…

Getting money from the government while poor is ‘socialism’ and that’s ‘bad.’ But getting money from the government while rich is ‘capitalism’ and that’s ‘good.’
