I’ll go against the grain and say I don’t like this. It’s just going to fuel gamer misogyny more. She had a dude playing for her. It’s like a confirmation of all their shitty opinions.

The number of people who weren't misogynysts before reading this headline and will become misogynysts as a result is 0.
I think you’re underestimating the propaganda value of this, by shitheads. And the amount of sweaty losers this will connect with.
Like imagine being a woman now, and playing in leagues similar to this. The extra shit and scrutiny they’ll get.
I love it when my politics are phrased strictly in terms of black and white and in utter ignorance of the large space between bitter deeply seated mysogyny and jovial gender abolitionism.
dialectic? what's that.
Sounds like something from a video game, they grind to get their dialectic stat up.

That's when you eat too much sugar and then your pancreas kills you.
No, that's diabetic. Dialectic is when you experience a scene the same way the characters in a play experience it

Dozens upon dozens of instances of men cheating at video games.
: “I sleep”
A woman cheats at video games.
: “Real shit”
she had a less talented dude playing for her because she's too good and it would be unfair for her to play
This is like when Israel does the most comedically anti-Semitic stereotypes like poisoning wells and using baby sounds to lure out more victims.
It’s bad folks. Leaning into reaction isn’t good. You aren’t owning the chuds by proving them correct and giving them propaganda, you are just fueling reaction
No, that is insulting to the victims of the genocide. When Israel did this (and still does), it was horrible, because of what they did (and still do) to the Palestinians. Not because of "painting other Jews in a bad light". Frauding gamers in this way is almost a victimless crime. No comparison.
Spreading anti-semitic beliefs is a secondary bad outcome of their actions that jews worldwide now have to deal with

Misogyny is never okay. Even if the victim is a fraud. If a man cheats or fakes, he doesn't represent his whole gender and has to take no blame for putting anyone in a bad light. He just represents himself. What does her being a woman have to do with her success or failure or fraud in anything she does? This is victim blaming, because on top of (maybe fair) repercussions for faking, she is victim of hate that has nothing to do with her fraud and everything to do with her gender.
It’s not victim blaming. It’s just acknowledging the misogyny pervading gaming spaces, and how this act will intensify it. It’s not victim blaming to be frustrated about this, as the ramifications of this act will worsen conditions for women in gaming.
Ultimately the people at most fault are those doing the misogyny. That isn’t this person’s fault at all. But they did take actions that will intensify it, for their own personal gain. Being annoyed at them for doing this isn’t a symptom of latent misogyny. It’s just analyzing the action in the context it happened in. It’s about not ignoring the effects of an individual’s actions on the greater environment.
Forget it, the moralizing idealism has begun. There's no room for discussing cause and effect.

he doesn't represent his whole gender
And either does this woman. So why is calling her out "misogynistic victim blaming" if her actions don't represent her whole gender? We are the ones trying to disentangle the actions of one person from her entire gender, it's those in this thread cheering this on that are conflating it just like the chuds do - just with the opposite opinion on whether it's good or bad.

Hey, that 5th one is just a fancy way of saying Dark Souls.
Scamming gamers is based as hell.
What the fuck were they going to use the money for anyway, buy a third RBG LED keyboard? Another fucking funko pop?

You dropped this Queen 👑
Proof that non-gamers>gamers even at e-sports
She actually went to live tournaments with that number. Pretty brazen.
I'm not a misogynist, but I fucking hate this, in this thread I will—
a dude was remotely playing for her
as soon as she was discovered she had to play for herself and totally sucked
hell yeah
fuck Gamers and everything but cheating and lying are still bad so
yeah it's still pretty funny tho to me cause it's just gaming. at worst a professional gamer was inconvenienced by playing against someone using cheats or whatever the case is. who really cares. professional gaming shouldn't even be a thing imo not to get too high and mighty. maybe me thinking that tho is why i don't see it as a big issue
Do you feel the same way about professional sports? If so then we just disagree but if you put esports in a different category then that's a contradiction you need to examine.
yes i do feel the same way about professional sports. people cheat at professional sports all the time too. i think that's pretty funny as well. they're playing a game for money.
Esports are the same as real sports (derogatory)

Professional sports is the embodiment of "If you ain't cheating, you ain't winning", despite how much it tries to insist it isn't that.

I'm sorry, I thought gamers looked up to Faker?
Everyone who headshots me is a soft aimbotter.
Every sniper who hits their shot is aimbotter and every sniper who doesnt have 100% accuracy should uninstall
Everyone who is better than me is a sweatlord and everyone who is worse than me is a no good noob
Based and cool. Good for her.
How the hell? Bravo! Way to grift sister!
For some reason i find gamer stolen valor kinda hilarious and i wish i knew anything about games to make an apt analogy about disembarking on bideo game normandy or some shit like that.
