The executive board is filled with people who treat human lives as pawns on a chessboard. It's that simple. They dont see them as physical living people. Just things that are meant to be sacrificed to get an advantage. The board is composed of things that are in no way human. And they need to be dealt with. Violently.

[@lilgoon2706]

The craziest part is that a lot of stuff like this (sexual-assault, bullying, suicide and even rape) was a very common thing on the ship I was stationed on while in the Navy. Even our chaplin, the religious dude we're suppose to go to about our problems, attempted to kill himself on deployment because word got out that he was sleeping with a much younger and low ranking sailor. In that same week we had 3 other attempts. Not to mention how awful the Navy is for the environment. People would constantly throw trash and 5 gallon buckets of paint overboard, even if we, "disposed of it correctly," they would just condense it and throw it overboard anyways. If jets have to much full before landing on the carrier they have to dump the excess. I just really want to shine some light on how horrible the military can be, because stuff like this can happen in all branches. As someone who served, I don't want to discourage people from enlisting, but I want people to understand to the true nature of some of the people they may encounter. Not to say you'll have the same experience I did, but some (not all) of our military personal are the scum of the earth.

[@Riolupai]

Did you report the criminals to the police?

[@lilgoon2706]

@@Riolupai Everything gets reported through the Navy, which is dumb imo. People can get kicked out for stuff like that but serve no jail time. The incident with our Chaplin was swept under the rug because he was a higher ranking officer and he continued to serve as our Chaplin. The police can't really do anything if we're out at sea either (which is when most of it happens). It's a very flawed and favorable system. Furthermore, anytime I personally heard about the situation was after it was reported, and even then there was over 6000 people on my ship, I doubt I would've known their names. So yes it was reported, but nothing serious (outside of the Navy) happened to anybody.

[@samaraisnt]

I've heard this abt the navy, third time this week actually (after hearing murmurs). Their job seems to be protect the abusers, and serve power over justice. It sucks cause I would pick naval over other branches but not going to protect or serve when my chance of being raped goes up like 50x by people who are supposed to be my colleagues (who I trust with my life)....might as well just join a men's prison. Honestly I wouldn't even feel it was 100% safe if I was a twink or hot young guy, you really never know with sex starved people who can abuse with no reprocutions, the military court needs to change, they are failing soooo many veterans it's sick.

People who think this are fucking morons. Charles again shows how much of a child he is, he never had a real job and it shows. Activision isnt even in the same city as Blizzard, the idea Board of Directors knows whats going on in one of a dozen of their subsidiaries when they have 5 000 employers in their main location alone is just moronic, the main publisher has 10 000 employers, and another 5 thousand in contractors. But also all board meeting are public for shareholders, any person who wants can listen to all company problems and learn for themselves if some random intern from a satellite studio and their HR complains are getting discussed or not. Spoiler, they are not. For those who are too lazy to listen through dozen of hours of meetings there is a quarterly summary, which also wont include personal information like HR complaints. All this stuff makes me realize how people want to create imaginary villains in every story. Kotick should sue the site for running with this slander.
