I don't think anyone on this site will argue that the culture at Blizzard was good or normal, in fact most engineers working in the Bay will tell you that the culture at their company is extreme in the opposite direction. I've worked in FAANG for the last 5 years in the Bay and can tell you that in my experience I could not even fathom how a culture like Blizzard was allowed to exist, my everyday experience has just been so extremely different. For example _all_ (and I mean literally every single one) corporate communication from the company to employees has to do with diversity/inclusion issues for at least 50% of its content.That's every newsletter, every speech, all the internal organizations communications, even things that are supposed to be technical in nature. Women and minority candidates are already given a more lenient interview experience as well as an abundance of communication that they are valued and welcome. And I'm not saying this is a bad thing, it's just that most peoples' lived experience working in this industry is nothing like Blizzard's. I think what you see on this site mostly is more of a moderate "hey can we chill out a little?" sort of response rather than an extremist alt right type of thing, though it may come across differently depending on how frustrated that person is. And yeah it can be frustrating to always feel like you are being lumped in with the group of oppressors and or bigots no matter what you do. TL;DR I don't think most people are racist or evil.
