Re: Activision-Blizzard.
Guess what? As people, we don't need to presume innocence. We can look at the women speaking out, and go 'okay, yes' and believe them. We don't need to go 'let's wait until the trial is over'.

Know what the trial is for? To see if there's enough evidence to formally prosecute. To assign a penalty that's enforced by law. We, as people, do not have to wait and see. We can take the accusations on faith because there's so many of them, and they're believable.
Have you seen how women are treated in the video game industry? In the roleplaying game industry? In the wargame industry? ("Warhammer 40K is not for women" was something we saw just yesterday.)
So, how can there be any doubt? Yes, the courts will deal with the formalities. We don't need to. We can speak out now. We can demand change now. We can hold them accountable NOW.
Let the courts deal with fines and penalties and so forth. We, as people, as consumers can act without them.
