    How is it that a company that gets off on being crass and inappropriate is one of the most powerful and competent upstanding arbiters of fairness and equality of any company I’ve ever seen?

    It’s beautiful and I’m here for it.

      The people most interested in appearing perfectly clean often have quite a few skeletons in their closet they don’t want people to suspect.

      A sense of humor is a survival trait for negative situations, and those who have one are usually really nice because they know how shitty things can be. That’s what I came up with at least.

      stephanie mcmahon of the (human trafficking rape factory known as the) WWE infamously went on record to say (paraphrasing): Philanthropy is the future of marketing

      This is no different than all the awesome shit that Bill Gates did as part of his foundations. Or (scumbag and pedophile protector) Mr Beast’s various donations and charity events.

      CAH have done a decent amount of good. They also fueled an entire generation of white men to giggle and say the n-word. One of their former execs (?) also did some REALLY heinous shit. But please be incredibly wary of putting them on a pedestal just because they are currently doing a publicity event to sue a racist shithead.

        human trafficking rape factory

        They got rid of the offenders. It is not known as that

        Edit: sorry, I didn’t realize it was you way up there on the high horse

        Culture starts at the top. There’s likely more details out there that I haven’t kept up on.

        But I’m sure they’ve “fixed it,” just like ActiBlizz did. And WWE. And so on. But yeah, after years of buying every expansion pack, this left a bad taste in our mouths. It’s still a fun game, but it’s hard to ignore the behind the scenes stuff.

          Did you read their other comment? There’s no chance they’ve even seen a card in person with the way they described the game

      Turns out doing the right thing has nothing to do with whether or not you tell dirty jokes and moral puritanism is bunkum. Whoda thunk
