According to BoundingIntoComics:
Angered by the recent allegations of sexual harassment leveled against Activision Blizzard as part of a wider gender discrimination lawsuit filed against the company by the State of California, God of War Game Director and God of War II Creative Director David Jaffe recently shared his opinion that the developer’s failings were the result of former Blizzard staff’s “white privilege”.
On July 26th, in the wake of the aforementioned allegations being made public, Jaffe published a video titled “I Suggest You Reject This Evil Company” to his personal YouTube page, wherein the veteran game developer took the time to express his absolute outrage towards the lawsuit’s obscene claims.
Declaring in the video’s opening few moments “I’m a male feminist. I’m a progressive. I’m just angry man,” the angered developer proceeded to explain that one of his main issues with the entire Activision Blizzard situation were the apologies given by former Blizzard CEO Michael Morhaime and Diablo co-creator Chris Metzen, as Jaffe found their responses to be representative of the two men’s white male privilege.
“You know I’m angry because every fucking time this gets brought up,” Jaffe continued. “Whether it’s misogyny, racism, systemic racism, homophobia, anti-semitism, anti-Mulsim sentiments, everybody, usually white males – That’s the f—ing truth, mother f—ers white males, of which I am one, deny it.”
Relating the various denials he apparently heard from said ‘white males’, Jaffe wrote “‘Eh it’s not that bad, it’s not really happening, it’s isolated, I haven’t seen it, oh Jaffy, all white people don’t benefit from white privilege, why would we teach critical race theory’” before asserting that, “on and on, denying it, of course you’d want to deny if you’re a white dude. Why would you not?”
