Eh, I might not agree with their methods (but they do draw attention to something people are otherwise willfully blind to) but the goal is fine as long as you're aware there needs to be exceptions. I had a quick look at their website and I didn't see anyone calling to insulate non-existent lofts or cavities, but it was a pretty quick look.

When you fuck up you get punished. Blizzard fucked up; they get things taken away from them.In other news more changes coming to wow to remove jokes and flirt emotes and associated voice lines
Suggestive Player Character Joke and Flirt Voice Lines Removed in Patch 9.1.5
As part of Blizzard's ongoing company-wide effort to update parts of the game which are considered outdated and inconsistent with their values, several player character jokes and flirts have been removed from the game on the Patch 9.1.5 PTR.
Because that clearly is solving the problems at the company not trying to make it seem like a super inoffensive corporate soul-less thing with most of the character hacked out of it.
players get things taken away in this case not the dev team
You know... even with houses that are "impossible" to insulate, it'd still be a net positive if they end up getting the government to set up a subsidize program for houses that can be insulated.
Players will adapt or leave, the devs are being punished for my money - admittedly in a very esoteric way - because I don’t imagine they have an opinion dissimilar to yours or even mine on this. Which is that it’s a lazy, panic driven response to clean up their image as much as is possible before they’re dragged into court so they have a load of meaningless in the long run but useful to bamboozle an otherwise unconnected legal opponent.
The UK government were subsidising such a thing already that's the 2nd part of the bonkers thing.You know... even with houses that are "impossible" to insulate, it'd still be a net positive if they end up getting the government to set up a subsidize program for house that can be insulated.
Same way how police training reform inspired by the death of a person of color would affect how police treat white people as well.

But you'd think a group calling for such things would do even the basic checking to make sure that such things aren't already in place.You know... even with houses that are "impossible" to insulate, it'd still be a net positive if they end up getting the government to expand their subsidize program for houses that can be insulated.
Or get the word out about the program.
Or get the government to be more proactive about insulating houses.
Etc.
Government insulation, solar panel and efficient boiler subsidies are freebies for the middle class.You know... even with houses that are "impossible" to insulate, it'd still be a net positive if they end up getting the government to expand their subsidize program for houses that can be insulated.
The UK's subsidisation of energy-saving measures such as insulation, energy-saving lightbulbs, feed-in tariffs, etc. has massively declined in the last ten years. They used to basically give the lightbulbs away for free, and insulation was subsided via schemes funded by power companies. All that's gone now. Feed-in tariffs for solar have been slashed to about a third over ten years.The UK government were subsidising such a thing already that's the 2nd part of the bonkers thing.

They're not meaningfully in place. I've gone through that very process before to find applicable grants/subsidies, just to find that they weren't available in my area, and no word on when they would be. They rely entirely on the private energy companies to provide them, and they simply don't provide them a lot of the time. Not to mention that the homeowner is still expected to stump up a lot of the cost even so.
Lots of people are arseholes. Dealing with arseholes is part of my job description.
The "being an asshole" here means acting in an equivalent way as singling someone out for their race and repeatedly calling them a n****r to the point of qualifying as legal harassment. That's the standard one has to meet when misgendering someone to fall afoul under these laws. It's really, really easy to not act that way. You literally have to do it on purpose.
Legal harassment, yes. Human rights, though?
How about workplace harassment:

Crimes that constitute a breach of the victim's human rights usually just end up in front of a regular court.
Can't you guys give Blizzard a break? They're having to rush Overwatch 2 out the door because they already ran out of characters to retcon LGBTQ+ to cover their asses and distract from criticism. Isn't that enough?
