As a Canadian player, I'm concerned about Riot apologizing incorrectly

In Canada, we take apologizing very seriously. So it pains me to see people & corporate entities erroneously apologizing when there is nothing to apologize for.

Apologies aren't something you casually toss away in an attempt to absolve yourself of any wrongdoing. An apology is a heartfelt acknowledgment of a mistake, and the intent to not repeat it in the future. When nothing happened that requires an apology, but you apologize anyway, it diminishes the sincerity of actual apologies.

I hope that Riot learns from this and does not repeat this mistake. Kai'sa is fine. There is no need to apologize.

Sincerely, A concerned Canadian.

As a Canadian, whenever I apologize to players it is genuinely heartfelt. Sorry if it doesn't come off that way.

there is a need to apologize because there is a disconnect between the visuals of kai`sai and her lore and riot admits that

Think of an apology like a raw steak. you should cook it season it then serve it, but when being chased down by a pack of rabid dogs you should just sacrifice it for your safety. Feminists are rabid dogs.

I'm starting to think this whole Kai'Sa nonsense is just a clever distraction to take our minds off the state of the game, state of league in general.

think about it, about 90% of posts recently are about Kaisa.

meanwhile im still getting 1 shot by everything.

also why is this suddenly an issue? i dont really remember the boards lighting up when Eve came out (have you heard her quotes? ) also, Gragas doesnt have a shirt and runs around with bobs flapping carelessly in the wind. double standard???

Riot apologized cuz they're a company. If you go to Taco Bell and cuss out their cashier despite doing nothing wrong, they're going to apologize. That's just how apologies work in regards to capitalism. The customer isn't always right, but you always apologize to them anyway.

No need to condemn a specific company for doing what literally millions of other companies do. Lol. Canadian or not

As an Russian Canadian we still have a smurf problem. Yet kids can't learn to stick to 1 account and yet it's almost like grocery shopping your buying more than you can chew.

Please spare us your false holier than thou concern. No. one apology doesn't diminish another or even affect another. That's complete horse manure and you know it.

That's very ignorant. The reason they apologized was because hundreds of thousands of players made clear that there was a problem with the way they decided to portrait kai'sa based on her lore.

So many reddit posts with thousands and thousands of upvotes about her perfect english voice line, bland personality, 0 sence appearance, 0 sence dressing, etc for a girl that was suppose to have 0 education, live her life like a miserable animal and fight for survival in a hell hole that could as well be 100% berserk style. In the comic, took less than 5 minutes for the void to completely kill and corrupt random adults that felt in it and she somehow survived, and also survived being a disney princess? With huge silicone boobs to go along with her V cut? This whole "omg, riot is apologizing for kai'sa looks make no sense" is pure ignorance of people that don't even realize how big that subject was just 1 month ago.

If you want to act like this is something about woman body exposure in general and delude yourself, go for it. But it's 100% ridiculous that kai'sa would have makeup, a full shampoo treated hair, flawless skin and a fucking, cherry on top, v cut on her hell/void SURVIVAL FUCKING ARMOR. This is enough of that oversexualization bullshit and yes, it's a great victory to see that riot apologized because of that.

What the hell did they even apologize for regarding Kai'Sa? Her V-neck oFfEnDiNg some paper-skin liberal whine machines or is there actually something else around her that I missed?
