I don't know what happens but every single thread I see is about someone named Daniel Z Klein and something about PAX event, I'm just curious, what happened ?

In a nutshell (If I understand everything correctly): A PAX panel from Riot meant to bring more women into the gaming industry was inaccessible for men for 90 minutes. A Riot employee called Daniel Z. Klein defended this decision and made some insulting and arguably sexist statements on Twitter. Now the boards are on fire.

Edit: Thought I'd add Riot's official response:

To help recruit women into gaming, we held PAX workshops for women and non-binary people. We’re proud of that and stand with Rioters at PAX. Regarding conversations about this, we need to emphasize that no matter how heated a discussion, we expect Rioters to act with respect.
