There are a lot of posts here excusing unacceptable behaviour because of a specific player’s interactions. Maybe Rona was an asshole, but she’s not the only woman/non-man in this game who’s received gender-based harassment and it’s misleading to focus only on her interactions, since I believe the point of this thread was to start a wider discussion on abuse/sexism in the community. Additionally, comments on gameplay, regardless of how rude or unwarranted they might be, are also not at all equivalent to comments about someone’s appearance, gender, or other out-of-game personal attributes (or videos/leaking pictures/socials wtaf??) .

To broaden the conversation, I’ll share that I’ve experienced degrading sexual comments directed towards me by an otherwise respected community member. It’s not just Rona receiving sexist abuse (although hers appears to have been particularly awful), and it’s definitely not being perpetrated by just a few “bad apples” or only players in certain divisions. It’s something that’s embedded into the culture that, as a community, we’ve fostered.

I’m sure there are people in this community other than Rona who don’t have private social media accounts who have also never been doxxed.

you can’t entirely blame others

You absolutely can entirely blame the doxxers. To imply it’s in any way her fault someone went out of their way to find her personal information is the definition of victim blaming.

@lucki Oversharers and influencers don’t deserve body shaming or doxxing either!

Romeo

gg dojo!

Romeo says good luck in your matches tonight

This is how much Romeo grew over the course of the season! (August to now)

gg nkb! very close game

This thread can have a Romeo picture, too

There’s a cat in my neighbourhood who really likes to go into other people’s houses and I hadn’t seen him in a year (I assume because of COVID) but he came to visit today
