I think we should have a conscientization week. A week where we should be seeing videos talking about the consequences of small actions toward people around you in league, about the rage chain this can lead and other interesting stuff.

I will be using a random commentary of one of the many users of our board "Burger n Fries" on the subject of Tyler ban to illustrate the point:

Burger n Fries (NA) answer to the perma ban of Tyler1:

"its sorda what mute is for, perma ban isnt right.... riot made a mute button to stop this, but people never use it, so its not Tyler's fault, its the people who didnt use the mute buttons fault. [...]"

I understand that this kind of bacterian thinking is not exclusively of their fault [people that uses it]. We grow this kind of idiotic line of reasoning when we don't give enough attention on sharing information with others or addressing the consequences of actions, like calling someone bad names, to people around us.

"People made weapons and martial arts for self defense, but woman don't use it. So it's not the rapist fault when a woman gets raped." it's not a kind of reasoning we, as advanced as we are, should be seeing so much without having some concern about it.

I will be not talking about Tyler, although i agree with the punishment, as this kind of behavioral issues are deeper than just this player and who support it. What i will be saying is that maybe this kind of outrage to Tyler ban can be used at least as an important argument, so we can have a "behavior consequences week" when riot and players could make videos explaining the consequences and SHOWING the consequences of certain types of small behaviors on league sharing their experiences and promoting mutual respect.

A peaceful way to impact the community and who you believe deserve a message. With respect.

First off, I don't really understand the analogy of the rape quote -- you're better off not having that in your argument or post period, since the argument itself has no hold whatsoever to the issue at hand of behavior. It's literally comparing tomatos to machine guns -- I can't even seen the parallel here of the self-defense to harassment, unless construed to a very, extremely slim argument.

Second, while we could observe the impacts of said problems over time and inquire over it, at that point it would force Riot to have to acknowledge the community in itself is toxic, when in reality only a small percent of the community is toxic, but a large percent of what it does and how its done is broadcasted. Which is something that shouldn't be addressed anyway, considering it's a set amount of individuals that repeat same offenses that cause such an issue. Granted, acknowledging it does help, its something I wouldn't pull as a good way to help stem the problem at hand.
