What a dick move. Oh, sorry, don't sue me.

Also, did she REALLY write down every time her colleagues used the word "dick" in conversation? 500 times? ... Really?

What a weird thing to put in a suit.

It's not just a fart joke though, that line means that someone actually farted and then made a joke about it, in a public workplace. So let's call it like it is.

Granted, I don't think farting and laughing constitutes as a hostile work environment, it's just stupid, uncouth behavior. The lawyers should have done a better job at pruning the actual written lawsuit so it looks more reasonable.

The other part of the lawsuit that I think doesn't help is where it states that the plantiffs were required to play the game online, where they ended up getting harassed by other players outside of the company. Like, you work for an internet game company. It's not an absurd notion that you should be required to play and understand the product you help produce. And furthermore, the actions of people outside of the company have no business being used in conjunction with the lawsuit. That's just people on the internet, and that's the risk of using the internet. I consider encountering bad people online as part of the grind, and if it's that bad and you have to potentially experience it daily, mute everyone and be done with it.

Overall, there are strong points in this lawsuit, but it's peppered with some things that I think drag it down. I think it needed more revisions before becoming public.

an excellent nitpick. you seem to have accidentally read over the other, massively more serious charges and allegations. nice try though

After the first 500 is a good time to start counting.

Dick

500+ times in a one month period. 4 weeks in a month * 5 working days a week = 20 days. 500 / 20 = 25 times a day.

I could see up to 5 times a day happening in reasonable conversation, but 25? In a work environment? No wonder she started counting.

Dick x500 over how many people and how long? Actually sounds pretty darn mild to me.

What's weird is the number of RIDICULOUS things they padded that lawsuit with, as if it would help their case.

Stick to the things that are actually serious. Someone calling someone a dick is not a legal matter. Nor is a fart joke.

You're conveniently ignoring the fucking concept that EVERYONE knows the thing such as 'being called a dick' and that, if you're suing a company, YOU'D USE SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING.

Therefore, if you believe the party suing Riot Games has common sense, you'll realize that they're citing things such as men talking about their donger.

Where is the proof of any of this. It's just people spewing bullshit without any actual facts to back it up.

before you were born you could choose two classes :

-Male :
  • Earn charisma bonus, have the ability to be listened to
  • strength
  • unless you are a fat ass, nothing to slow your running
  • Bonus intimidation when yelling
  • Need female to have a child

  • Weakpoint exposed

  • x3.5 being killed or someone try to kill you

  • x2 being attacked in general

  • x1.8 being robbed

  • x1.8 killing yourself

  • shorter lifespan

  • expected to die before others

  • judged for not being a "True man"

  • Have to destroy any genetic leftover(you know what i mean) to not be charged money if used by someone else.

    -female :

  • Can live without working and everyone will be fine with it
  • Longer lifespan
  • Not expected to die first, can ask man to protect her
  • Can choose to abort, probably can have kid with another female in vitro.
  • gain ability to not be jailed for the same thing a man would immediately be sentenced to prison rape.
  • Bonus "Ask for pity" ability
  • can express her feeling to others, allowed to cry resulting in lower suicide rate. +/- if you have kids , you keep them (but can charge money for it , even if you raped a 13 yo boy for that)
  • Less Strength and harder muscle production
  • No weak point but has a ~5 days dot every ~30 days
  • x11.8 being sexually offended
  • Generally paid less , depending on the country
  • Malus "Annoyingly high pitched voice" when yelling
  • Harder convincing ability
  • Cannot have child her entire life.
  • cannot have visible nipples , for no reason, even if having lower breast size than chubby boy.
  • More likely to be "body shamed"

both women and mens have other malus and bonus , but those are the most occurring. remember , i based myself on facts , and stopped there. i'm not judging

Look, whether or not you want to admit it these things, if sexual in nature, can be harassment. Just because it's fine for you doesn't mean it's fine for everybody, male or female.

I'm pretty sure I say dick and act like I'm jacking off in public at least 500 times a day
