I knew people would be triggered by my post. I wasnt all the way serious but decided to roll with it.
Man, I just love me all that thrash talking in professional sports. Oh wait, there’s very little of that and a lot of mutual self respect among athletes because they are fucking adults.
Please watch your language. You know what else professional athletes do? Separate their genders. Sure women can participate too, but can they have their own thing so as not to get in the way?
Sorry about what happened to you as a kid bud, I hope you can move past some of those things as you get older!
My opinion stands, regardless of the content, how it was delivered was top notch.
There are some folks with an upcoming event on June 6th that would benefit from watching that press release and do their best to delivery their message as well as she did.
Content aside of course!
I could reverse that accusation right back at you. What happened in your life that made you so sensitive to reality and need a censorious shield for you to be comfortable? Get bullied? Never had to learn anything the hard way, pampered and fragile? Do you get nervous with confrontation?
I have seen his type of statement before, on GAF no less. I can guarantee you there's no sentence on earth you can say where he's not going to answer yes.
The inherent problem with his statement is that there is a rather large playerbase of women on Valorant, and most women do not think nor act like men, especially not the ones they deem as toxic. So making them endure constant barrages of insults doesn't build character for them. It just makes them mute everyone or leave the game entirely.
I think a major part of the earlier internet is that it was anonymous and genderless, which is obviously gone by the wayside in modern times. It was just fascinating to actually interact with another human in a digital realm regardless of their physical location or who they were, which opened up possibilities for all sorts of experimentation. Naturally some people will use it for benevolence and others to stir chaos. It tended to sort itself out along with the advancement of the technology. Those exposed to toxicity learned it was a thing that exists, and either engaged with it or found something more interesting to them. You are right that men and women think differently in general, so being more curious and risky type, they had this figured out already.
That is all in the past however. Now gaming and social media is unavoidably ubiquitous and there is no ability to learn from the anonymous void of the internet without having a personal stake. In that sense I can understand why some decorum is needed to be enforced. But gaming as a hobby is a continuously invaded sphere and there should remain an open playground for toxic interaction if those players choose.
Despite all this, its a losing battle as tech grows and synthizes with culture, so that particular moment of internet history is gone forever. The battle still exists regarding freedom of speech, anonymity, control,.etc.
