They're literally monetizing LGBT rights activism like every other corpo. And you're standing here acting completely oblivious trying to promote them to saint hood. The same company that has dozens of sexual harassment cases. Riot is the most scum gaming company ran by an even scumier totalitarian sympathizing company in China.
You're all fucking drones.
There are a few statements that would make me drop everything that I'm currently working on and stare at the message or just try to sink the message in. It has been several minutes and I'm still trying to. That's not a compliment.
Riot isn't perfect. I think anyone who followed in their footsteps and mishaps figured it out from day 1.
But I've seen the work that's being done by the Valorant dev team. How the community (especially the lore and by extension the LGBTQIA community) gave them criticisms and feedback along the way. I believe they're making a sincere effort to make their game as inclusive as it can be. The higher-ups also could always improve, who knows?
"Riot isn't perfect" And there it is folks. The hypocrisy. Riot, isn't just "not perfect" mr Tmosure. Riot is atrocious. The fact that you are cutting them so much slack tells me a lot about your character.
It's half assed activism only for a PR move. It's actually hideous to look at as an [actual member of the LGBT community]. If they actually god damn cared they would've posted it in Arabia and Russia and everywhere. But they are not activists, they are greedy capitalists.
But it's very nice for me as a non-cis pansexual to sit here and be lectured by a cis man on a topic of a shitty company PROFITING off of MY struggles. If you can't see anything blasphemous or incredibly offensive about this whole debacle, I don't blame you, because it doesn't affect you in the slightest, and it's very easy to virtue signal from a position of indifference. I will not let such scum of the earth people wave MY colors and MY banners.
They will never improve as long as there are people gullible enough to fall for this PR bs. They can harass 2000 workers and all of you drones will forget it once they post two characters of the same gender kissing. And from an oppressive and downright totalitarian conglomerate you have now managed to repaint their image in your head as "not perfect."
found this through TMosuraa's twitter. I honestly don't even know what to say. If you wanna play the homophobia game then I could say you're homophobic for focusing on the fact that its a homosexual relationship rather than the fact that it's a relationship.
It's easy to point the finger and blame someone for being offensive or rude or hypocritical. and to be honest RIOT isn't perfect, far from it. But they a multi-billion dollar company. so if you can point to one thing about this post that is harmful and explain why, be my guest and if you want to this is my discord TheChedZ#1893 we can have a conversation about this if you want. I'm just sick of people being so fucking political all the bloody time.
I donβt mind it, i think itβs cool that Riot is making this game more marketable towards the LGBTQ community.
But the most important thing is that that this does NOT affect the in-game actions. This doesnβt make neither Killjoy nor Razeβs abilities suddenly become good, bad, or mid.
People get too pressed over this, itβs really not that big of a deal, humanity can co-exist.
