Let's see if we can hit 10k people over the last week or so claiming I have made statements they conveniently never link and show zero overlap with my long established positions.
Bonus points if they call me ignorant and/or tell me I should do some research and listen. Just for the ludicrous lack of self-awareness.
Bingo if they tell me about some women I famously directly helped and hired in esports but as if I had never heard of any women even working in the industry.
This is how you save women and fix the world.

ESL: Since men are so bad and toxic we made a league only for women. Not because women can't compete with men right now.

Semmler: Seems disingenuous to make it about toxicity when that's not the context of why you're hosting this competitive circuit.
Women in esports: boo hoo. Poor white man feels oppressed. You that mad that women get to play in a tournament? You get no pussy

Thorin: Don't dismiss an opinion from an industry veteran with connections and relationships with women for countless years.
Women in esports: If you're not a woman you can't have an opinion on this. Besides you're a fucking white male!

You must hate women so much! You are saying you don't want women in esports.

Your company continues to employ, in a talent hiring position no less, someone who was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women last year.

You are a pathetic virtue-signaller who doesn't give a damn about women.
Can only imagine the bodies he must know the locations of if you didn't even remove him from a position where he gets to decide if women work as talent at your events.
One of the women even claimed he had used his position of influence at another esports company to manipulate her.

You guys really are full of shit, aren't you?

I grew up as a little autistic kid in the North East of England wearing hand-me-down clothes.

There was no esports for hundreds of miles from me when it began and the dot com bubble had burst and tanked all the early industry. I was told I'd missed "it".
Once I got them to send me to London I had to get them to send me to the US over hiring Americans who were already there.

I went to that event, my first on a plane, with something like $50 wiggle room for anything to go wrong. Madness when I look back now.
I put in a lot of effort and I could get a few ideas out through my sloppy and cliche-riddled writing, a subject I had never focused on in school or as a hobby.

I also always followed my curiosity about what I wanted to know in an interview.

Imagine working this event and then trying to lecture others online about your politics and what good behaviour is.
Check the event date and time-stamps. Some people are just shameless.

Best way to show you have skin in the game when it comes to not accepting blood money would be to return it publicly, right? Seems pretty easy to do if you're serious.

Not if you really wanted money and to pretend to maintain your "values" (fashion trend) tho

"Well ackshually that doesn't work and has been debunked..."
-People who failed and never properly followed the instructions to people who did follow them exactly and succeeded.
The Internet in a nutshell.

The wisdom is there but hidden in plain sight through gate-keeping, social stigma, accreditation worship, search algorithm and people's inability to appreciate layers of symbology and learn their language.
Luckily the more work you undertake towards wisdom the more you realise it is not for everyone. It is not to be publicised directly nor will it be understood.

Hint and leave the curious eager to start their own journey and the dismissive to wallow in nihilism.

Losing is short-term and winning is long-term if you zoom out enough.

Every battle lost teaches me where I'm weak and I can put my efforts into improving.

Thanks to every enemy and misfortune I ever suffered. Without them I would be so much less.
Rush to meet defeat now so that you may hasten the time it takes to overcome and transcend it and tackle grander challenges.

I had to crawl to walk and walk to run.

Why are you so afraid to fall a few times? Image
"Barkley didn't get a ring! Ha! He was a loser!"

He grew up as a little fat kid in the South. As an undersized Power Forward he led the nba in true shooting percentage for four seasons straight.

He was the leading rebounder at 14.6 rpg at 23.
