Women and girls 6 now make up almost half of gamers in America, but the gaming industry continues to cater to men, 7 even in California. Activision Blizzard's double-digit percentage growth, ten-figure annual 8 revenues, and recent diversity marketing campaigns have unfortunately changed little. Defendants 9 compliance with California's broad workplace protections is long overdue. To enforce such 10 compliance, DFEH brings this government enforcement action seeking to remedy, prevent and deter 11 Defendants' violations of the state's civil rights and equal pay laws to vindicate the rights of 12 Defendants' female employees and the public interest of the State of California. s one 14 the largest American video game developers and distributors with approximately 9,500 employees 15 and over 100 million players worldwide.

Jessica Gonzalez #WeAre Raven @BlizzJess # blizzard-women 410 members > If you've ever wanted a prime example of discrimination at ABK, this is it. This kind of negligence towards breastfeeding workers is criminal anywhere else, but it happened daily at Blizzard. Accommodating shouldn't be an afterthought. We can and should do better by our workers watch a show while pumping. so extension cords were being used. 4. Insufficient storage space, there were no locked cubbies for moms to keep their pumps safe, many had to lug them across campus multiple times a day as they didn't want to leave them behind. At the time women were uncomfortable using B13's 5. Refrigerators had padlocks that were not consistently locked or could be accessed by other employees, employees were using the fridges to store their beer in. but the reason there were locks on them in the first place is that nursing people's breast milk would be stolen. 6. No one was keeping up sanitation standards. it did not appear that housekeeping was cleaning those rooms consistently the way the rest of the office was.

Regardless of the sources, the statement isn't untrue. As players especially, women get an unusual amount of harassment in online games in my experience.

Opening your mouth in voice chat is a mistake for pretty much anyone, but I've seen firsthand the difference between me and my male friends, who just get autistically reee'd at and told to shut up, versus everybody in the game suddenly digging their mics out of their gaping asscrack to ask targeted personal questions to anyone even vaguely feminine sounding.

I've seen some really pathetic attempts at "conversation" in games like Siege, with a guy who really, really needed to know where this girl in the game was from because she had a "weird accent" and played all 50 states bingo until she finally, reluctantly, confirmed one as where she was. It didn't end there.

Most GamerGate supporters would never harass or rape a woman even if they had the chance, what happened in Activision Blizzard was caused by those male feminsts who love putting rainbows in their logos and give diversity prizes to themselves.
