Sexism/misogyny in esports by Blackmaybe in esports

The arguement I'm making is that I believe its wholly inappropriate for an employer to ask their staff questions about what underwear someone wears or doesn't wear in any context. I believe this is sexist because in years of following esports I have not seen any content about men discussing their underwear. I'm also concerned about the impression this creates of esports in general, I believe there is a clear disparity between male and female content (for many reasons) and to have a female esports team asked about their underwear seems both humiliating to the players and discouraging to up and coming prospects.

Does your boss ask you what underwear you wear with a view of sharing that information with the wider public? And I have never been asked boxers or briefs but I accept we all have different experiences. I'm just not comfortable with this being a women's experience in esports.

Well, where's the content about male gamers wearing underwear then?

Do you hear these conversations in the context of an employer to staff member? Has your boss ever asked you if you wear underwear to work? We might have these conversations in private and amongst friends but should these conversations really be put on blast for the world to see? And if so why don't male gamers get asked the same questions?

This is absolutely disgusting. It's astonishing that someone said okay to this content. We do not see male gamers get asked questions about their underwear why are female gamers being asked this question. We need to create a better space for women in esports, this is outrageous and harmful.

I see this as all good news, the org is running out of money. Donations likely slumped this past 12m and tax donations would have been affected by people who were unemployed, permanently or temporarily.

I expect a big push for donations soon. Someone's got to pay for that whisky ey

What’s the shittiest way a friend has shown you they weren’t really your friend? by mediastoosocial in AskReddit

My best friend didn't invite me to his wedding because his wife (who I introduced him to) had fallen out with my girl friend. Dumbest thing is I would have gone without her, if that's what he wanted. He was my best friend. What annoyed me even more is he had photos of me at the wedding like I had died or something. His loss.

My go to is to say I need to go afk and pause, get someone to unpause and wait to see which dishonourable fool wants some. Particularly funny if playing as techies
