After thinking about the article some more, I reached the same conclusion. I was trying to figure out why the author wrote this, and my best explanation is that this was an attempt to defend companies that have been labeled “toxic”.
Like, “Sure Activision/Blizzard was a fucked up company (and maybe still is), but all companies are fucked up, so it’s really no worse than any other company. It was just the wrong type of fucked up for certain types of people (women, minorities, etc.).”
None of this is explicitly said in the article though, so hopefully this wasn’t actually the point the author was trying to make.
