I like how Riot is just hoping this whole thing will just blow over

Seriously, 0 responses or statements to probably one of the biggest PR disasters the company has faced. Not even a "We know we fucked up"

But by all means riot, keep on alienating 97% of your customers, SURELY those brownie points you got are worth it right? [sg-ahri-2]

It may not blow over, but for them, it will blow!

Edit: it's lame, but it's the only damn joke I have.

The reason they are saying nothing is because this WILL blow over, and Riot does believe themselves to be in the right.

So don't let it blow over, and keep telling Riot they're wrong.

The only reason it didn't blow up that much yet (outside boards and reddit) is the fact that no major article (to my knowledge) is been wrote about the fact that mans were excluded until a certain hour in an event such PAX, if it was about woman or any other gender it would have been already on the national TV, kinda find it really hypocrite by everyone that they do selective justice.

Is making an apology really that hard?

I mean... it is going to blow over eventually.

Trust me, this stuff never lasts to long in the age of the internet. Maybe 2-3 months at the very most.

Besides, the community is way too volatile right now. If they were to say anything, the risk would be way too high of some group coming along and twisting their words. It’s in Riot’s best interest to remain silent for the time being until things cool off.

Ask Simon Pegg and Nick Frost if "the whole thing will just blow over."

We don't need those toxic white cis gendered man babies! As a matter of fact we're better off without them!

Some time after that statement...

Agreed, they are hoping we will just forget... like every moment they delay in responding this PR nightmare, it hurts their image more.

Idk why they think that this community lives off of salt,anger and being toxic assholes.

Should honestly probably just starting looking in to trying put pressure on tencent to do something about it. Asian companies don't tolerate this shit, arenanet fired employees for doing this kind of shit on social media.

I mean... it will blow over. This whole thing is NBD in the long run.

Good. I hope the entire industry alienates you. You're not irreplaceable.

A lot of us are sick and tired of your entitled bigoted bullshit.
