I want to be transparent with you all. This wasn't just a general statement. It came from my own experience.
For 2 years I reported harassment targeting me. Two independent organizations confirmed the pattern and took action. The person they sanctioned was invited and sponsored by
@Blizzard @Diablo for BlizzCon. I was excluded. When I asked why, I was told the contract gives them full discretion and that they owe me no reason. When I pushed further, I was told it might be best to part ways.
What makes this harder to understand: Blizzard was aware of the situation throughout. They acknowledged it. They told me how I handled it publicly had helped. And yet the person those organizations sanctioned was sponsored, while I was excluded with no reason given.
I tried every quiet channel before posting this. I gave it time. I hoped it would be resolved privately. It wasn't.
A full video is coming. Every claim documented. If any press would like to see the full evidence, feel free to reach out.
Silence always sides with the one causing the harm.
Racism against Asians is one of the most normalized forms of racism today.
People expect Asians to work hard, stay quiet, never complain, and simply endure. When we speak up about harassment or discrimination, we're often ignored, because complaining doesn't fit the stereotype.
I used to think gaming communities would be different. I was wrong. In my experience, reporting harassment targeting Asians rarely leads to any action. Sometimes it feels like the behavior is tolerated, treated as entertainment, or even rewarded, because people assume Asians won't create drama or fight back.
Ignoring it isn't neutrality.
Silence always sides with the one causing the harm.
