    Before this gender war gets even crazier around OW, let's just remember the fraud itself had two genders working together to pull it off. So before you say Punisher set progress back, he didn't pull this off solo.

    Dunno if you've noticed but we're conversing now. What's the delay? If you have a point make it. If you all you're gonna spit is vague talking points "there aren't enough Y in esports" then it doesn't sound like anyone needs to have a discussion with you.

    The latter premise still has all its work ahead of it to be established as credible. Anecdotes from people who themselves cannot know what life is like for another sex do not count as overwhelming evidence.

    You can acknowledge women are often treated differently and in some cases poorly within the esports community without conflating such incidents with the notion this has driven millions of them from games or put them off entirely.

    Think of blocking as basic security. If you don’t value your time and mental energy enough to actively decide how it gets spent, it will get snatched away from you. Guard it. Block those who seek to grab your resources while offering nothing in return.
