Machismo at Blizzard: The company is sued for sexual harassment and gender discrimination – iGamesNews

Machismo, unfortunately, is present in all facets of our society, causing inequality and discrimination against women because they are women, which is even sadder when it comes to a large company that carries it out against its own female employees.

This is what has happened in Blizzard, the video game developer as World of Warcraft u Overwatch, which has been sued for sexual harassment and discrimination

. In fact, it is reported that a worker even committed suicide during a business trip when she could no longer bear the unbearable harassment to which her own boss had subjected her, who took lubricant on that same trip.

On the other hand, one of these workers who left the company has come to report that reported a situation of harassment to human resources when your boss canceled your profit share, which they justified by saying that they “performed poorly.” And, like these, thousands of stories that have flooded the networks accompanied by the outrage and rejection of the community

in the face of these atrocities committed and consented to by Blizzard.

The California Department of Housing and Employment has already filed a lawsuit against the company after more than two years of research in this regard, in which they have verified both the culture of discrimination and harassment of the company

like a wage gap, offering women lower wages than his fellow men for doing the same job and fewer opportunities to move up.

When asked about this, instead of condemning it, Blizzard has decided to deny all this, so it will be necessary to wait for the lawsuit to prosper for justice to be done.

In the face of machismo and this type of behavior, one of the greatest scourges that exists in our society, zero tolerance and all our support for the victims.
