Statement from Overwolf
...Okay, first of all, this whole statement is sadly nothing but them taking the same exact route as before: misdirecting & changing the narrative to only be about "victims" when their Home Support initiative is partnered with the ILF, an openly Zionist organization. This isn't about innocent parties only when they're partnered with an organization that contributes directly towards IDF Military Intelligence. All of the money from the fund goes to the ILF's bank account to distribute, per their own FAQ page. And even without that, the association alone is enough to boycott. Overwolf and Curseforge cannot be "clean of politics" while their CEO partners with and therefore directly supports Zionist parties.

This statement overall stinks because it puts the blame fully onto people with legitimate concerns by calling them all harassers. Have some people gone too far towards creators? 100%. I know that well. But Overwolf is clearly using that to deflect off of themselves, and this is why it never should have been done in the first place. Y'all focused on the wrong shit- the smaller targets instead of the big ones, and the wrong claim that they're directly funding the IDF with CF revenue, and now they're doing exactly what I said they would: once again using the fact that that's not technically true to weasel out of people's concerns. They even directly call out the fact that it's misinformation like I said they would! They clarified fucking nothing, they repeated the same shit they already said because they know they can. We need to change the focus of the boycott so that they are forced to address their actual wrongdoing! Stop spending all your time sending threatening messages on anon and instead spread factual information with sources and reach out to creators in good faith effort to get them to speak without the fear of being attacked. They will stay silent as long as the negative consequences (financially & socially) is all on them and not Overwolf & EA.
I'm still working on a comprehensive post with everything, but in the meantime, please spread this post around.

in-universe animals do not speak spanish/english natively, they must learn it. This is also supported by the fact everyone was surprised by a talking donkey in Shrek but i guess as soon as you dress them no one bats an eye
I.E. puss learned spanish/english as his first language probably because he spent a significant portion of his adolescence with his human mother
Perrito can speak English (and Spanish i think) and he probably learned it at a young age
His family *not* his littermates are the ones who made the attempts on his life
Conclusion: ?!?!???!? Who went through the trouble of teaching spanish/english to a litter of dogs, picked Perrito out of them, went "ew not this one" and tried to drown him?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? did u not bond during the grammer lessons??!!!
alternatives to this include:
Perrito learned to talk after the Sock Incident
certain animals are gifted with speech unbeknownst to humans and the family who raised Perrito are still dirtbags but differentiated by the fact that they didnt know he could talk which kind of makes it different (but really not really)
all in-universe animals speak Spanish as their native tongue and Perrito was raised by an English speaking family (english which seems to be the dominant language with various dialects/accents) and they thought his Spanish was a weird AF bark or they were really xenophobic. this option starts off the funniest bc having spanish be the native language of animals is objectively wild, but it ends real sad :(
Big Jack Horner raised his litter
i like the funny cat movie cuz we get a lot of play dough to work with for this type of stuff etc etc that reaction pic of the guy from iasip with red string conspiracy map
