you are playing the attorney card? They exist to make money. The colorful verbiage was used for reactions. (you have the state of california and a huge company, easy target so scrape some dollars off)
Yeah I mean when you smell some shit there is usually some piles of shit somewhere, no doubt. But I find 1/2 these twitter stories laughable. Like I said before all they have right now in their 2 yr investigation is a bunch of stories, basically she said. And while hearsay is admitted in court, its not like they have some rock solid proof.
The plaintiff is the State of California, not the women. The case basically accuses them of creating a workplace where harassment was common and went unpunished, and the response from Blizzard has basically been "yeah, but we've changed so much in the past 2 years, we promise!"
An attorney. The plaintiffs job is to get your jimmies riled up in their suit, because that's THEIR side of the story. and they are representing the party who is seeking damages from the accused. the whole point is to get people like you super emotional.
Why are you defending a soulless multinational corporation?
Also its a company thats trying to sell a goods, games. So yeah they will say shit like "Weve changed we promise" because anything else just makes them look bad. Still whatever they say, the outrage is a monster of its own now, they are already canceled they just dont know it yet. Or maybe they do.
It’d be highly unusual for government attorneys to just make shit up in their filing documents, unlike plaintiffs attorneys they can face serious career consequences for wasting time/taxpayer money on frivolous cases. My experience is that often times government agencies like this will do everything possible to avoid taking suits like this to trial. The only real exceptions are some of the outfits in DoJ and the Southern District of New York, those are typically spearheaded by US Attorneys with big political aspirations.
Well I didn't say "make stuff up", I simply said use colorful verbiage to make their filing hit home in a certain way. While I don't have much experience with DFEH I do have experience in CA as a venue itself. Regardless we will see what happens when the parties go through the process, just feels like a lot of trial by twitter right now.
Maybe I would agree with this in the 60s through the 80s? But in the 2000s I call this a bunch of bullshit, sorry.
I have also seen vindictive women too. Goes both ways bro. Again, im not in the gaming industry, never been to cali, but thiese are just my opinions. Maybe I have worked in too many professional places in my life to believe such culture existed in one of the biggest gaming companies in the world. But I could be wrong who the fuck knows what was going on there.
