20 percent of Activision employees are female, according to the court documents. The alleged harassment and misconduct they face range from sexist language to the denial of job promotions and intense sexual harassment.

The agency investigating the company alleged that the male employees in the company openly engage in sexual banter and joke about sexual assault. Male employees in the World of Warcraft team in particular reportedly hit on female employees often.

The suit claims that one female employee committed suicide while on a company trip with a male supervisor. The suicide occurred after coworkers passed around nude photos of her at a company holiday party.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-8255.

The suit writes that female employees are subjected to “cube crawls” in which male employees “drink copious amounts of alcohol as they crawl their way through various cubicles in the office and often engage in inappropriate behavior toward female employees.”

I didn’t go back and read that thread but Ryan has no qualms burning up PlayStation’s brand goodwill to do something people will likely read as anti-consumer. For a period there was one thing after another after another of policies that rubbed consumers the wrong way. Silly shyt that you sit back and go yeah they’ll end up reversing that or that’s not gonna go over so well.

I feel like I'm getting a completely different understanding of what he's saying.

To me it sounds like he's referring to the recent trend of calling games "woke" for having minority and female characters in games. That's the cancel culture he's talking about, there's no trend of canceling games starring generic white dudes.
I said the same thing especially with the noise regarding a certain Sony game dropping next week
