Feminism Special Treatment

Ok, because this has gone on long enough.

Every time something new is revealed for a female champion, there's always one person who think that Riot is trying to "Sexualized" a champion. Even though that isn't the case at All They come here to the boards and make a very unnecessary Rant about it only in hopes of rallying more people to the cause just to make Riot notice. And what do you guys do Riot? You comply. You comply because people accuse you of false things like Giving Kayle Boob Armor It isn't "Boob Armor" It's called a freaking Chest plate. This is made for any female that would wear armor. Like seriously? And what happens? Riot comes down and seemingly agrees with it( or at least one rioter)

Recently, Fiora had her Title Changed from "The Grand Duelist" to "Mistress of the Blade." And the first thing someone does to respond to this is to make a thread titled Um Riot can we NOT change Fiora's Title? Even thinking their self to be overreacting- - in which you were . But the majority of people that commented in that thread only chose to look at it as "Mistress sounding Sexual." Oh and what happens? Riot comes down and comply to the demands because everyone was making a very unnecessary rant about it. There was nothing wrong with the Title At all. The way mistress was used is to imply Fiora's control over her household. How the hell does that sound sexual to you guys?

Riot Why are you showing special treatment to feminist? I feel this is very unfair to the community. There has been many demands in Story and Art about changing certain, in which not one rioter came down to respond to. But seemingly every thread that regarded something to a female champion that just "seemed" like it was a concern of "sexualizing" Champion you guys responded to it and made changes.

I feel like whatever the worker original work was it it should be as it is and be respected. Not changed because people feel insecure and feels it should be changed because they want it to be.

Stop with the Special Treament!

Edit: And I'm getting downvoted because I'm speaking the truth. Im sick of insecure people trying to make everything go their way because they always have a Bias view on everything Rito makes. This is really pathetic Riot. Im so disapointed

I feel like you're using this Fiora debate thread as a reason to substantiate your own thoughts on the sexualization of the game. I'd encourage you to separate these two thoughts, because they really aren't similar.

In the Fiora thread, the main complaint I see is that The Grand Duelist fits her personality and design far better than Mistress of the Blade. I completely agree, and many other players preferred her old name regardless of the connotation of the word mistress.

That being said, the most used definition for the word "mistress" in America is as such:

Mistress - a woman having an extramarital sexual relationship, especially with a married man.

I expect this to be different in Europe, using the original definition (a woman in a position of authority or control), but it definitely has a connotation that doesn't fit Fiora as a champion.

Honestly, I agree with Fiora keeping her original title. I never got any sexist connotations out of the new one, but I just like the sound of Grand Duelist more. Plus, I feel like it's more directly in-line with her character.

Feminazi posts do trigger me something fierce though.

I prefer The Grand Duelist... just saying.

Well for some reason Riot seems to side with the sjws in this issues a lot.Maybe the ones that take decisions in Riot are sjws,feminazis,or white knights themselves or who knows.But like i said 100000 times.If you don't like how a company is doing their business.Don't support them in anyway(money,viewing their events,etc).That's the only thing they can't ignore from you as a customer.Just take your support elsewhere and give it to something you like.

I prefer Grand Duelist over Mistress of Blades. It's just a better title for a fencing specialist.

Ignoring the sexual or feminist aspects, I would expect a Master or Mistress of Blades to show expertise with a variety of edged weapons, rather than specializing in one, specific type.

i mean i agree kinda with your OP, but your edit and comments make you seem like someone who is paranoid and cant argue logically or civilly.
