Moderators should remove all these kneejerk reaction threads

They all are on the basis of pejorative language, insults, and refuse to discuss the topic in any appropriate way.

In Japan, there's a monthy Yugioh tournament that's female only. The goal is to have a less toxic environment to try to get more females into the game, because the main gamebase is really toxic. No one really complains because the game does have a toxicity problem against females.

So why are we complaining about it with League? Any girl who's in high elo is bound to be bombarded and called "boosted" and "an egirl", which is why many hide the fact they are female. Why are people complaining about trying to reduce the toxic environment?

As someone else said, more people seem to be mad about this than they were with Riot's internal sexism problems.

Plus, people shouldn't even be mad with the event itself. You should be mad at the poorly made timeslots with how it overlaps, because that's an actual problem.

What's wrong with censorship? Just a really good question.

That's not an argument.

But here's a good reason: No healthy speaking environment needs serious sexism, racism, etc.

No healthy speaking environment excludes people. Because then you can't have a conversation.

Also, in regards to your comment about the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments...it sounds like the tournament organizers didn't think of, or don't want to go through the hassle of, punishing and ejecting players or fans who are "toxic" towards women. Just like, you know...any other real sport or association can, has and does when the need arises in all first world countries. That would be a much better idea then banning an entire gender from playing in those tournaments.

Like let me tell you right now, if I went to a baseball game in my hometown and started spouting off "toxic", hateful comments at players or fans...there are like 4 or 5 cops (since it's a minor league team) who are on duty to put me in cuffs and escort me out of that stadium. We need to do more of that at events, not simply saying, "All non-CIS men are beneath women, so we should kick them out."

You can't have a conversation because women are less likely to speak in a male filled environment. For example, you have a job open, it's only 4-5 women, but you say it's women only and you get 300-400 women.

Plus, you're basically saying that someone's been smashed with a hammer a few times, and even though they've stopped being smashed, you're calling it a fair race/fight even though they haven't had a chance to recover from being hit.
