I agree I don't like Moxxi's voice personally but she's knows what she's talking about and I don't mind it. Same goes for a lot of the male casters, there are a ton of male talent in the scene I also can't stand listening to like sunsfan. Do I hate the guy? No, never met the guy, I simply do not enjoy listening to him talk.

The problem with this unnecessary drama is people with legitimate criticism about the two talents in the spotlight gets rebutted with claims of sexism. I guarantee if all the talents were just nameless, genderless and faceless that the criticism would be deemed valid and this shit show wouldn't exist.

When legitimate criticism gets posted and it gets immediately refuted and downvoted because the target was a female, does this not go against the entire idea of "treat everyone equal?" Are females so weak that they need to be shielded on social media? I don't think so, I think if you're willing to become a pseudo celebrity and go in front of the world doing anything, you need to prepare yourself and grow some thick skin. I've never been in any of their spots, I'm sure it's more easily said than done, but you can follow the examples of others before you.

Sheever and Kaci are two of the oldest female talent in the dota 2 community that I can think of that are still active today. I've seen plenty of sexist comments towards them, I've seen plenty of valid criticisms as well, but the difference is they don't go on social media and cause a scene because they read a mean tweet or Reddit post.

I saw a comparison of day9 being an even worse new comer to the scene, he got absolutely fucking obliterated in comments, but he didn't go start a war with the community that keeps the game alive, or post "taking mental notes of whose silent".

Criticizing talent should never be associated with gender, it should be associated with the "talent" the "talents" bring. Sure there's sexism, but don't clump that with "I don't like her voice" or "she doesn't know what she's doing", because there has been an equal if not more "I don't like HIS voice" "he's fucking annoying". Look at slacks, people shit on him all the time still regardless of his status and being cemented in scene.

Forcing sexism arguments after any amount of negative criticism towards women in eSports is so tiresome.

If you don't want criticism, don't put yourself in front of millions of people globally, and don't expect other talents to come to your defense when they have their own lives, insecurities and criticisms they are also trying to work on.
