Wont this kind of thing only reinforce the negative stereotypes surrounding women in league? i know the idea comes from a good place, but it just doesn't seem like the best way to go about it to me. Ultimately, if you're scared of the community, ignore them.

Telling people who are being harassed to "just ignore it" isn't helpful or constructive. It doesn't work that way. And guys don't generally experience targeted harassment within gaming the way girls do, so it would be real nice to see more guys to show some support instead...

in regards to what i said about ignoring it, that was poor wording on my part, i meant it more along the lines of muting. People shouldnt harass others, but they do, and being able to push it aside and not give it the time of day was what helped me with irl and game harassment

that make it hard to really learn. This idea of having a secluded place where everyone wants to help each other will be a great experience for people wanting to just...learn to play, and not have to worry about someone inting your lane and making it difficult cuz ur a girl ;(
