      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!

      The most commonly thrown around arguments are that this is being sexist against men, just like racism, and that you can't fix a problem by doing the opposite of what that problem is. Cool. That's all bullshit.

      Systemic sexism and racism exist at the intersection of bigotry and power dynamics. Racism isn't just being called the n-word, it's that + no one caring when you protest + not being given a loan a white person would have gotten + being shot by the police for no reason

      The reason that "sexism against men" makes no sense as a concept is that men have the power. They're privileged in so many ways, from small invisible things, to large, outrageous things (like a confessed abuser and harasser like Louis CK can just have a comeback and that's fine)

      Men are RIDICULOUSLY over-represented in gaming; they're listened to when women are ignored, promoted when women are passed over, lauded for speaking out when women are being called "difficult to work with".

      I imagine the same power dynamics apply to cosplay and fan events. I'm sure women are objectified and harassed, both verbally and with unwanted physical contact. I'm sure they're spoken over and made to feel unwelcome at events like these.

      So yes, in the interest of justice, equality, and fairness, men need to be excluded sometimes. That's perfectly fine. Trust me, you'll have about a billion other opportunities that these women won't have. But no, you have to be absolute overgrown toddlers and throw hissy fits.

      When one group has too much and one has too little, some must be taken from the group that has too much. That sucks, and if you're used to being catered to your entire life and always being made to feel like the most special boy in the room, the above will be your reaction.

      If you've never had to think about this for a minute in your life, congratulations, you're privileged as fuck and have been benefiting from a system that makes the lives of other people hell. I sincerely hope these manbabies crying in that thread will grow up some day.

          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

          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.

          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.

          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.

          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
