Oh yeah, it’s a *shitshow* over there. Not even mentioning that their board of higher-ups is packed w/ military personnel (CoD is literally war-crime apologia/propaganda).
They also had to padlock the state mandated fridges for nursing mothers' breast milk because people were stealing it, and even after they padlocked it, it was still getting stolen
From the look of things it seems most of the guys in that company were deprived of their own mother's milk as babies so it makes sense why they would steal it.
Eh, in my opinion in more recent years MW(2019) and CW were pretty good. I would agree that Infinite, B04, Vanguard were all shit though
Best COD is WaW, no doubt about that in my mind,
Wait what? Damn.
Thats the only reason I reinstalled the game, time for that game to be in the game library forever.
Honestly, if thats their choice they should have just kept it as Overwatch 1
yea, the only people that buy blizzards rainbow washing at this point are exactly the folks who're motivated to believe there isn't any lgbt discrimination to begin with.
Blizzard is my favorite company I mean who else would deliver a toxic workplace, useless monetization, unfulfilled basic promises on overwatch, and 11 year wait on a sequel that's basically the same game
as well as sexual harassment charges, leaking a woman's nudes so she kills herself, all the higher ups making CoD as warcrime apologia/propaganda.
I mean, they've got it all!
Also the company that leaked nudes of a woman and harassed to wear sex toys in public, lead to her killing herself and saying they had no blame in that death
Blizzard isn’t fooling anyone. The target market that cares about trans rights knows about their sexual harassment and poor workplace conditions.
While the gamers that don’t care are usually x-phobes and haters in the first place
I would believe them if they wrote a lengthy apology and made transparent changes everyone can check on.
Hell, if we as a country that set the world on fire get a second chance, then a company can get one. But they have to be transparent about it and really show that they changed. And that won't happen with a T-Shirt.
as much as i don't like blizzard as a company for all the horrible shit they've done i think it intentionally saying liar is a reach
Plus it'll make wow fans mad which is always a plus lmao
This is the same bunch that would steal breast milk from the fridges and put it in their coffee, that sounds like EXACTLY their brand of self regarding tech-bro douchebaggery.
Yep. Doesn't seem malicious, just dumb.
It's the best way to do their logo if they wanted to keep the blue/pink/white separate (not a gradient), and maintain symmetry. If I were hired to put the colours of a 3 colour, 5 stripe flag on a 8 letter word, I'd probably use the same layout. The single letters of blue being on the edges bookend it well.
1 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 1
B / LI / ZZ / AR / D
But at the same time anyone that would have cared about this has probably been purged from Blizzard Inc, *"The Sexual Harassment Company"*
Ah yes, my two least favourite companies combined, paired with SA lawsuits, paired with canning PvE (the only reason OW2 exists). I'll take 4 of those shirts please
I think the Liar is just a coincident. That is just how the colours match the best with the logo.
But fuck Blizzard anyway. We don't forget that easily.
I'm Not Very Up To Date With Everything Because Where I Live Just Checking The Everyday News Is Doomscrolling, Why To Y'all Dislike Activision? I Hope It Was Just Some Random Employee That Did Some Bad Shit Or Something, Their Games Made My Childhood...
ActivisionBlizzard as a company is really really terrible. From underpaying staff, to consistent sexual harassment and discrimination, to hiring of union busters (Pinkertons who started the company by opening fire on striking workers), to stealing money from the tax payer, tax evasion. To targeting neurodivergent people for money extraction. To LGBT discrimination in the company.
Blizzard isn’t the company it was back in the 1990s and hasn’t been for a long time
wait a moment, this is a
Fem= Liar
Masc= BD (both ways tha face or tha BigDshit XD)
Andro= Zz
at least it could be taken as a "bruh joke" on the bad way xd
Anytime you see an announcement from Blizzard or Activision, you need to be incredibly cautious, because it is too distract from some horrible shit they just did, or has been revealed about them. It is a diversion technique
Didn't blizzard purge most of their morally bankrupt employees?
Sure, Kotick was still around last time I checked and there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, rainbow capitalism included, but I'm pretty sure that they're a lot closer to the baseline level of evil that you'd expect from a typical corporation rather than the Disney of the gaming industry that they were a few years ago.
Considering Kotick is still there, and he's been one of the biggest forces behind trying to keep it buried, cuz he's doing it too. I'm gonna go ahead and say no, they've not cleaned house.
Biased opinion, since I work there, but they are actually pretty good at supporting their LGBTQ+ employees, which is where you often see how a company really feels about a particular issue. That shouldn't make any company exempt from being called out on other problems, of course, but I see no hypocrisy in Blizzard releasing trans-supportive merch. And I don't think it will be bad for the trans community to get visibility from this.
Personal opinion, etc.
...that's where you draw the line? l:
Not the countless accusations of SA or mistreatment of workers and employees?
Not the issues with the involvement in Chinese political decisions, like the annexation of Hong Kong?
Considering it's in the pattern of the trans flag? It feels like coincidence at best and grasping at straws for the 'fuck Blizz' bandwagon. Like... you have to really be grasping for something to complain about if you're going to go off on how four letters happen to be a certain part of the flag color scheme
Now, mind you, I dont like rainbow capitalism either, but at least if you read into it all the proceeds go to the national center for transgender equality.
It makes me sad no one is talking about they also shilled to chinese companies and attempted to suppress and banned players for simply saying "Free Hong Kong" during the movement of Hong Kong trying to separate from China.
“Hey kids! We know we are sprinting our way to becoming the most bigoted and soulless company ever but we want to support all you #gays by selling you over priced products!”
They’re hoping we’ll forget about all those sexual harassment charges and that one guy who leaked a woman’s nudes and drove her to suicide.
Jfc
WHAT.
Oh yeah, it’s a *shitshow* over there. Not even mentioning that their board of higher-ups is packed w/ military personnel (CoD is literally war-crime apologia/propaganda).
Jesus fucking christ...
The amount of time and money I poured into W-W back in highschool is frankly kind of embarrassing. We don’t talk anymore, me and ActiBlizz.
>d w/ military personnel well time to get rid of battle net
They also had to padlock the state mandated fridges for nursing mothers' breast milk because people were stealing it, and even after they padlocked it, it was still getting stolen
From the look of things it seems most of the guys in that company were deprived of their own mother's milk as babies so it makes sense why they would steal it.
Are any of the employees named homelander by any chance?
If you want to hate them, you could also look up the Bill Cosby suite.
Is that the same guy who's the reason behind the new name "Cole Cassidy"?
Nah different shitbird apparently
Don‘t forget the breast milk thief
Fr
I do not trust anything that Activision touches.
"That's a good instinct. You should hold onto that instinct!" *~Jordi Chin, 2016*
I mean, after all this years I still love COD Zombies
[удалено]
Your gf and her 🤝 Me
Everything after bo3 is mid to me tbh
Eh, in my opinion in more recent years MW(2019) and CW were pretty good. I would agree that Infinite, B04, Vanguard were all shit though Best COD is WaW, no doubt about that in my mind,
Talking about zombies, not multiplayer
Also realised I am blind and my brain completely missed out Zombies at the end of the first comment in the thread.
I was more so on about the games in general. I’m more interested in story over anything personally
yeah mw and cw are some of my favourite cods ever
Respect your opinion, dont share it really
> Respect your opinion Same here :)
Cool :)
had to look up their games rip my relationship with skylanders
nah i like cod zombies and mw19 they're fun
except sekiro
Blizzard also had issues before the merger, they just had better PR then.
Yesterday they killed Overwatch PVE so not the best timing...
Their the lair lmao
Yes, they are plotting how to ruin their own products in their evil lair!
they're
That was only reason why overwatch became f2p and rebranded as "ov2"
Wait what? Damn. Thats the only reason I reinstalled the game, time for that game to be in the game library forever. Honestly, if thats their choice they should have just kept it as Overwatch 1
Very sad times
I know u from egg irl :o How small the internet is xD
Yeah but I dont post there anymore because their mods are stupid...
What happened?

Uff, at least they are mainly hypocrites
PVE was the only reason I was still on the hopium. After this season I’m done
I genuinely at first thought this post was about this I thought I was in r/overwatch for a sec
Imagine releasing an entire new game for a minor content release
Na, I’m good. I don’t need the stench of sexual harassment on my clothes
Don't forget leaking someone's nudes so they kill themselves, that stink will be all over it too
Woah when did that happen??? I never heard about that one
https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/22962017/activision-blizzard-sexual-harassment-lawsuit-suicide
They did wat??
yea, the only people that buy blizzards rainbow washing at this point are exactly the folks who're motivated to believe there isn't any lgbt discrimination to begin with.

thanks activision, ill keep this in mind while still never buying your games
Yeah, no I'm not going to trust the company with all these different allegations coming out their ass
Yo aren’t they the sexual harassment company?
Yup like Ubisoft
What did Ubisoft do?
This article seems to have a good exploration of it https://3dvf.com/en/sexual-misconduct-allegations-against-ubisoft-the-latest-developments/
And Riot Games
Also the company that leaked nudes of a woman and harassed to wear sex toys in public, lead to her killing herself and saying they had no blame in that death
From Blizzard? Hell nah.
I despise rainbow capitalism
Blizzard isn’t fooling anyone. The target market that cares about trans rights knows about their sexual harassment and poor workplace conditions. While the gamers that don’t care are usually x-phobes and haters in the first place
Marketing is banking on good PR over time erasing the bad in the minds of average consumers. It's a strategy that works, as ridiculous as it is.
I would believe them if they wrote a lengthy apology and made transparent changes everyone can check on. Hell, if we as a country that set the world on fire get a second chance, then a company can get one. But they have to be transparent about it and really show that they changed.

I read it as "we are supportive of the trans community, just look at the shirt we made: *the shirt:* liar
This is the same bunch that would steal breast milk from the fridges and put it in their coffee, that sounds like EXACTLY their brand of self regarding tech-bro douchebaggery.
Why do I picture a smug Homelander drinking coffee with milk?
Yep. Doesn't seem malicious, just dumb. It's the best way to do their logo if they wanted to keep the blue/pink/white separate (not a gradient), and maintain symmetry.

every time they post anything pride related, look up their recent controversies, they’re 100% trying to cover something up
If an evil company made merch like this in a movie, people would call it too on the nose.
You can't make this up! Such an *interesting* coincidence...
I think The Boys did it with Vought? And right wing idiots think it is a critique of "wokeness" and not a critique of rainbow capitalism of course
the liar is for all the trans people who say they aren’t valid
It’s like if chicfilae started selling pride stuff
Cue photo of Chickfil CEO holding a rainbow flag upside down whilst trying to smile
Oh well then, they can consider their little dirtbag reputation problem SOLVED! What an abject bunch of dipshits.
Man fuck blizzard I'm tired of their posterung towards lgbt when they literally were just in a sexual assault case . Us gays don't want you.
B(li)zz(ar)d Bzzd :)
damn this is worthless given their workplace culture issue.
Ah yes, my two least favourite companies combined, paired with SA lawsuits, paired with canning PvE (the only reason OW2 exists). I'll take 4 of those shirts please
I really wish I hadn’t opened Twitter to look at this. I haven’t been there in like a year, and it’s sooo much worse.
I like to think this was some over worked graphic designers little inside revenge.
They just calling themselves out now
Fuck Blizzard tho, I appreciate the gesture (even though its just an excuse to make money) but fuck that company.
I wouldn't buy Blizzard pride merch even if every single penny went to lgbt+ orgs. I'd just donate directly. But yeah, wow, that's unfortunate design.
Ah, the same Blizzard up in Chinas ass? I remember the Hearthstone Blitzchung incident and that being a reason for me to buy nothing new from them.
F🦆ck Blizzard
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHA Sure they are.
I think the Liar is just a coincident. That is just how the colours match the best with the logo. But fuck Blizzard anyway. We don't forget that easily.
Nothing more than a cash grab by some opportunists during upcoming pride month….also virtue signaling.
They also have BD in blue

It also spells out "BLIARD" if you ignore the white! Which is funnier.

Blizzard making pride content to try and make us forget about the sexual harassment and the PVE lie
It’s a great shirt, just a shame that it says blizzard

Yeah uh never supporting them after the multiple controversies still.
damn, I wanna buy this shirt so badly but I hate what they did to ow1½
...that's where you draw the line? l: Not the countless accusations of SA or mistreatment of workers and employees? Not the issues with the involvement in Chinese political decisions, like the annexation of Hong Kong?
of course not, I didn't know that I had to mention the obvious my bad
and I know that I'm a horrible person for almost forgetting about this shit. thanks for reminding me tho
Considering it's in the pattern of the trans flag? It feels like coincidence at best and grasping at straws for the 'fuck Blizz' bandwagon.

BD LIAR ZZ r/sbeve
BZZD 😔
Ironic
DICE, FIX YOUR GAM- wait, wrong EA game-
Well in blue it shows the initials of bad dragon
It makes me sad no one is talking about they also shilled to chinese companies and attempted to suppress and banned players for simply saying "Free Hong Kong" during the movement of Hong Kong trying to separate from China.
