why does this shit happen so often
honestly tragic, but if you think about esports (electronic) is bound to have this many cases
due to its online nature, its bound to spread like wildfire and secrets are hard to keep online under either anonymity or less pressure to keep quiet
look at celebs. they are equally (if not worse) than the esports scene. therefore I assume that its not an esports thing, but a human nature thing where it happens everywhere, but esports merely gives more exposure to it.
its fucked
real answer
esports players are generally nerds/outcasts that get a lot of clout out of nowhere and so the power goes to their head and they start doing egregious shit
you see this in other aspects of life too, the nouveau riche, people that come into money very quickly tend to be the trashiest with their spending (excessive luxury shit, flagrant spending habits, drugs, etc)
Does it really happen that often? I feel like that's an exaggeration. But if I were to throw my two cents in I'd say it might be because of esports players being anti-social/outcasts that have no idea how to interact with people or women in general. It's like that with gamers outside of professional gaming so that's my personal opinion.
