Supernatural, the homoerotic television phenomenon that captivated Tumblr, recently closed with a controversial confession that rivaled the US election results. Is Destiel finally canon? Can we lay our weary heads to rest?
Probably not.

The Activision Blizzard Harassment & Discrimination Lawsuit
CW: This episode contains mention of sexual assault and suicide.
It’s another week of being disappointed in leadership at a major video game publisher. The state of California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing is suing Activision Blizzard, alleging that it fostered a workplace environment rife with gender discrimination and sexual harassment. This isn’t the first major publisher to face such allegations, either.
Can we still enjoy World of Warcraft or Call of Duty? Should gamers care about these allegations? What does this mean for the future of the games industry?
