Have no problem listening to opinions. Doesn't apply to people that share selective opinions tho.

Why don't you elaborate what you mean by that? What are their selective opinions? Is that your fancy way of generalising an entire population? That kind of thought process leads to divide amongst different kinds of people.

watched the whole video now sideshow is making a fair point and hes been consistent on this. anyone having 44% of anything is not good. i think there are more pros to this event than cons but some cons are pretty important such as not being able to criticize and human rights issue. i just feel overall community is very hypocrite on this. saudi arabaia is bad but US is equally bad. i never see people talking about boycotting us event. the risk in us where you can potentially get shot by anyone is just scary to me. US is currently commiting catastrophies and human right violation in multiple places not just one. US never need to sportwash because the average people ignore their crimes.i agree with sideshow points and we need to raise our voice so we can stop human rights violation in both US and KSA. humans lifes are invaluable. i tried to keep this out of politics as much i can. hopefully i dont get banned for shit talking US and Saudi.

sideshow mention in the video that Saudi owns 40%+ of the esport scene which is extremely concerning.

usa is bad but you cannot begin to compare it to saudi arabia, a country that didn't even allow women to drive until 2018, a country that still actively discriminates people based on things outside their control. it is a backwards country under a totalitarian regime

are you seriously trying to defend a country that doesn't allow criticism of its leaders, doesn't allow lgbt people, hasn't allowed women (until recently) to drive? the list goes on and on, it's not that my "standard" for countries is that high, it's just that saudi arabia is an awful place that discriminates against so many people and violates human rights to such an extent. use your fucking brain twat

I don't know how not allowing criticism of its leaders is relevant here, you do know that by boycotting its attempts at improving the economy you're mostly harming the normal people there? who are the same people that you're supposedly talking about when you say they aren't allowed to criticize . also do you plan to exclude every country with an authoritarian regime while you're at it?

ask most women living in saudi arabia if they hate living there or think they're oppressed and they'll tell you no (anonymously, where they won't be scared of the government).

you say "doesn't allow lgbt people," most people living there are homophobic, the "oppressed" women included. hell, look at some of the SEA teams in apac right now and half their players probably think the same. despite what you think, a significant portion of the human population is still homophobic, if you plan to exclude them of everything you do then sure.

I don't know why you said they only allowed women to drive recently as if it's a bad thing, they're improving in those aspects. I agree the country has plenty of flaws but it's hypocritical to boycott this and turn a blind eye to other countries doing even more heinous shit (and at least saudi arabia's "issues" (as you put them) are largely internal)

i'm not saying other countries don't also have major problems, i'm just saying that saudi arabia does, and that it's ridiculous ignore them and to compare saudi arabia to the USA

The only difference is that the US is powerful enough not to be held responsible
