    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.

      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.

      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
