- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Sounds sorta like victim-shaming...
What does this even mean? What victims? Clearly you don't mean the victims of harassment campaigns.
No matter what he meant, he sounds like he's trying to paint the people with legitimate gripes about the way he handles the company as the harrassers when he is a huge driver of the problem.
It's like Republicans complaining about the quality of current public schooling and blaming 'woke' policies when they've been the ones cutting school funding for decades, and they know it. It's feigned concern.
So what you're saying is you're victim blaming the people the director here is expressing sympathy for?
There is a huge harassment campaign based around flagrant racism, and there are probably some racists who are more excited to attack ubisoft because it's a shitty company in general, but that's just icing on the cake when the main content is racism and someone who doesn't have a horse in that race isn't going to be involved in the same way.
Nope. You aren't getting my point and I don't feel like explaining it any further.
It sure seems to me like you're trying to find a way of talking around the racist harassment campaign like the author in the OOP does. Really makes you think.
It sure seems to me like you're trying really hard to paint me as a racist. You can fuck right off with that bullshit.
I couldn't possibly know your motivations, nor the author's, I just find your choice to whitewash racism disreputable. Maybe you just have such a burning hatred for EA that you think that it's expedient to run cover for racists -- I think you wouldn't be alone in that mindset, though not in good company either -- but I think it's silly to waste time on such speculation into the internal state of some random account. All I am concerned with is the result.
