This reddit thread about some events we're hosting at PAX being open to women and non-binary people only was just as much of a toxic landfill as I expected it to be: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/9bwtow/psa_room_613_at_pax_west_will_only_be_available/ … So let's talk about this for a little bit!

But I know most of them won't. That's their choice. My choice? My choice is to reject them from my spaces. They're not welcome here, they're not welcome in gaming anymore. To strive towards justice, we sometimes have to be harsh and exclusionary. And that's okay.

If they want to be welcome, hey, they could try not being absolute assholes to women. Also maybe not equating "not being allowed to attend part of a gaming event" with "having to sit in the back of the bus". /thread

PS: here's a picture of Kaylee who thinks women and non binary people are wonderful and deserve to be in gaming and she just wants to sit in your lap and purr.pic.twitter.com/EWjTFnRRfS

Dan: provides a very in depth explanation on his viewpoint and opinion regarding the PAX event
@redditLoL: "He called us manbabies"pic.twitter.com/bIRqXoPPyG -
“Very in depth”...”you can’t be sexist to men” LMAO nice meme
-
just because you quoted 5 words that he said doesnt mean that the 15 tweet rant is an in depth explanation of his viewpoint. nice try though
-
Can't read his tweets anymore because he blocked me so w/e. And I'm sorry that the conclusion "you can't be sexist to men" cannot be supported by any premises that you present.
-
regardless of whether you disagree with his statements or not, he did lay out his opinion in depth
-
You might disagree with my statements on slavery, but if i lay it out in depth does that mean my conclusion is valid? No because slavery is never ok, just like sexism isn't ok, regardless of the sex.

The guy who got mad because people did E max Taliyah is talking about manbabies? Saying sexism about men is fine is the same thing as saying racism doesn't apply to Whites.
-
News flash: it doesn't. Systemic racism benefits whites, it can't be used against them.
-
You don't get to redefine words. Racism has never meant that, so please come up with your own word for discrimination by a majority specifically.
-
Racism is discrimination by race, you don't get to redefine words lol.

Jesus, it's only until 2:30pm, everyone can come in after that. Why can't we have nice things?
-
What would you think of non-white people weren't allowed in until 2:30? That they can still participate and should be grateful, or that they're being unfairly discriminated against?
-
I would think that is systemic racism at play again. Non-white people are literally discriminated against 24/7, non-stop, pal. That's not true for white men. White men get to have everything. 1/2
-
This event is creating a safe space for marginalized folks to get to have the things, for once, without men taking up space like you are doing in this thread. 2/2
-
Oh, so you're one of those "you can't be racist against white people" type of person.. right.
