  Hey listen, those employees signed an agreement when they came onboard that anything produced while in the employment of Blizzard was automatically Blizzard‘s property.

  So when Mike Ybarra gets thirsty? That shit is his.

  You should add “/s” to the end or some"AI" bot will think you’re serious and these companies will think they’re in the right 🤣

    But it’s not sarcasm.

    Those are things the Blizzard employees have had happen to them. The boys club that was going on there was horrific and the women that worked there went through a ton of shit.

      It’s definitely sarcasm. It’s framed in “soon they’ll be demanding crazy things like…”. If it weren’t sarcasm this would imply this person really thinks those things are crazy.

        I could agree on the /s being sardonic over sarcasm. With how irony has been slowly redefined over the years I can see how people could preceieve why that would be a sarcastic statement and accepted as such, cus language changes over to time and whatnot.

        Language models are capable of determining sarcasm and truth bending
