> Blizzard instead pays for the expensive flight, hotel, con, and drinks for a 32 year old white male computer nerd who accidentally found a CD in a storage unit

I'm all for charity, but wait, so rewarding a person _actually involved_ and who actually did the good (for the company) deed is somehow bad these days?

Also, white male computer nerds are people too, you know.

> Some of the ones on reddit seem like animals.

I tend to feel the same whenever I visit a forum where the "general population" spends time. I learned though not to generalize this over whole demographics - it's just that shitty communities attract shitty people and reward increasingly shitty behaviour.

I'm all for diversity and equal opportunities, but making white males feel guilty for existing seems counterproductive to me.
