Hmm a murderer with no accompanying photo or descriptor of an ethnic minority...

Why are we letting these foreigners come into our country to be murdered?!

That’s why this isn’t on the studio at all. No way they could have known, and they are prevented legally and contractually (per their deal with SAG) from asking.

A pedophile is simply one who is attracted to children. How they handle that regrettable quirk determines if they are truly a slimey piece of shit or just someone with a lifelong problem.

My sister and I had planned to see this movie since we see all the Predator films (yeah, even the bad ones). We are not seeing this one since the director is apparently trash.

to Caretaker (2nd letter): Children at age 5 and younger forget their grandma without a real problem. Their longterm memory isn’t that good at that point in life. We had a similar situation where grandma just became increasingly difficult to be around with and kids at that age can manage the lack of contact just fine.…

CG,

Right, I’m going to out myself as a complete bastard here, but let me try to offer some perspective:

I am married to a wonderful, supportive, brilliant woman—who happens to come from a wonderful, supportive, often brilliant family. I won the goddamned lottery in my marriage—but my relationships prior to this point…

I’m surprised by the second letter; I expected the writer to say the opposite (“my wife wants to help her shitty mother, I wish she wouldn’t be manipulated by her”). This dude should be grateful as hell that his wife is strong enough to get out of an abusive situation like that (especially one with as much guilt…

This feels like ArenaNet firings 2.0... It sounds like Riot caved to angry manbabies when they started harassing everyone under the sun over a couple panels... Gaming culture is just toxic and fucking terrible...

Welp, that dedication to do better really was just empty pandering. I’m disappointed, but not shocked. Hopefully everyone left at Riot who really supports these two and their ideas eventually manages to pull this company’s leadership heads out of their asses. I really really hope we see some real movement here.

And of…

Bullshit.  This is Arena-gate all over again.

I don’t think you realize that a woman’s only event is not the the same as the systems and culture in place that prevented women from having a greater degree of influence in gaming.

Martin Luther King explains at length in his books why what he called "positive discrimination" is the only way to bring about equality. You should read them.

Gamers are fucking garbage. Reddit is fucking garbage. Riot is fucking garbage. It’s disgusting that, despite being given a golden opportunity to fix their corporate culture, Riot seemingly still doesn’t care about the ultimate goal and would rather foster their toxic community.

Who would have guessed that their PR spin after your article was, well, just PR spin?

That is not, in any way, what is happening.

It’s disappointing to see this happen, especially after Riot claimed they would take steps to change their policies. This is why I tend to gravitate toward multiplayer games with smaller, tight knit communities such as SpyParty. Sure, you might run into a few toxic, disruptive people, but for the most part, there are…

Riot asked some employees representing Riot not to publicly engage with the controversy

Tell men that a single room at a single event is off limits to them for a couple of hours and it’s a war crime to be tried at the Hague. Implement and nourish a work culture openly hostile for over a decade and “ThaT’S JuSt VieDEo GamES BRo”
