Why is the community being punished because some of your employees are creeps?

The community didn't do shit, you guys did this, why are you barring a certain type of fan from a panel when your dumbasses are the one responsible for this in the first place?

Not only it's ILLEGAL but it's also UNCONTITUTIONAL in most countries in the world.

Thank you. Is there anymore? I mean, screw her, she is part of the company and is endorsing discrimination. However, I find the backlash and who it's aimed at, Riot, to be weird. Is she some Riot higher up and her actions speak for the company? If not, why would people be masking her intention onto the whole of Riot? It would make a lot more sense if people were asking for Riot to not endorse her action, but instead it seems they are attacking Riot by assumption that they approve and accept this already.

Overall,

  1. what she did wasn't with ill intent, i believe she wanted the minority's voices heard, so they wouldn't be left out, but they did it in such a wrong and discriminative way, that backlash was only to be expected from the community, and it isn't just boards, its people from reddit , twitter, twitch-chat are even talking about it with the streamers.

  2. There are two rioters that have fuelled this fire extremely, Daniel Z Klein and Froskurinn Daniel decided to disrespect the community, by telling a fan to "fuck off and sea lion elsewhere" and "reddit is a bunch of manbabies" and not to mention her girlfriend believes that all "league fans are toxic,racist,trans-phobic,homophobic people that deserve to die a painful death" i mean there are more things to him, but i'm lazy to mention them all. Froskurinn decided to take it out on white men, saying how laughable as they always are so "privileged". (even though in the past couple years it seems its the opposite) https://twitter.com/Froskurinn/status/1035865050974539776 also i found this tweet funny, https://twitter.com/SkyWilliams/status/1026963921473654784

3.Lastly, the response riot gave was also poor, saying how they're proud of this , and not even attempting to correct the community by saying "we're trying to make it easier for women and NB to get in" when this itself is belittling women and NB (see https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/sLET8FIh-room-613-a-girls-perspective) furthermore, there were messages "leaked" between riot and how they decided to ignore the situation and that a large proportion of rioters appraised and agreed with what Daniel did.

Riot can you ban your employees for violating ToS like you did my post that commented on your employees based on what they said about me?

The usual journalist that made a 5000 words essay from 3/4 woman that worked at riot talking about being harassed and stuff, blown out of proportion rightfully or not, but now they did restricted the entranced in a room at PAX to only woman and non-binary people until a certain hour because of that, like they did a good move to not be considered a sexist company by some anymore

This, honestly. And its a terrible way to promote diversity and inclusion too.

You realize it wasn't just "some", right? It was an entire culture that had been built around the Riot Games HQ. I'm not sure you actually read ANY of the articles posted about it.

Ok but why does that constitute banning men from the majority of the pax panel instead of working out internal issues?

Did you? Because in those articles you had a lot of Rioters themselves being surprised both male and female going "Wow, that has NOT been my experience here."

You realize that journalists get paid if they write juicy stories, right?

Gender discrimination? Absolutely fine as long as you're discriminating against men.

Wow. Not all men. White straight men.

In the end of the day this is going to bite back HARD when the bubble bursts.

Don't try to find anything logical about SJW. It's basically a sect.

Let me clarify. not because some employees, but LITERALLY just one employee.

At least two now, and they do speak for the company as employees, and public figures. Companies very much control what their employees can say in these regards. Riot has not spoken out and has actually created this event.

Well, you say one employee. But it is Riot sanctioned that the panel is for women and non-binary only.

And now you know why the U.S. government has three branches. :)

Riot is just falling in line with the Justice System of great justice for everyone

It has nothing to do with "sexists jokes" Riot employees did either. It has to do with Riot employees that are SJW were looking for an excuse to push their delusional values on other people.
