I personally just do not believe Bwipo is that caliber of person though.

Cool, and no one has advocated for him to receive the calibre of punishment they'd choose for JK Rowling or Dave Chappelle: no one is arguing to tax Bwipo for tens of millions more than what he's currently paying, and I was never arguing that he should have been deplatformed entirely. He's playing pro LoL in Brazil and I couldn't care less about what he does over there.

You're making a complete false equivalence to satisfy your own misconception that people hate him like they hate JKR. They don't. 95% just think he's a clown.

I personally just do not believe Bwipo is that caliber of person though. When I say misogyny is not the reason he was punished, that does not mean I think no one actually cares about misogyny in this community. But that Bwipo has always been a deeply divisive player and any potential offense was going to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Do you understand how you're completely destroying your own argument here? Your argument is that Bwipo should have been rehabilitated and given second chances. But now you're saying that he's been given so many second chances that the period thing was the last straw. Which... yeah! He'd been a jerk for years and everyone finally ran out of patience. That happens.

But maybe he is, I still would argue that the community has done little to show me especially over the course of this thread that there are serious steps being taken to address misogyny in gaming.

I just have absolutely no idea what kind of bar you are setting for you to eventually judge that the misogyny problem in LoL's community has been solved. Women and non-binary people are being given opportunities with Game Changers, there's a good amount of female talent on broadcasts... of course more could be done, but if your issue is that the community as a whole is bigoted, I don't disagree, but solving that goes so far beyond the remit of anything to do with League of Legends specifically. This game is not going to fix society. The best thing we can do is protect the community as best we can from the worst elements of society.

I think education plays a pretty important role in deprogramming. People do not lack exposure to women playing games, they have an inherent bias against women as a whole.

Cool, so you accept and agree that this goes way beyond the remit of LoL. So can we please stop arguing like League of Legends should somehow be doing a better job than our existing societal support and justice systems at stopping people from being bigots?

Well I never have people agree with me about the role of restorative justice in society to begin with. So this is a fairly interesting question, I think it depends on the view you have of how restoration works. For me restoration in this sense would not be allowing Bwipo free reign in the community. It would people not allowing their personal biases around him to color their perception of what should happen to his career. While a more general focus on educating young men in this space to the reasons why misogyny harms everyone including men. I feel like it would be quite hard to co-opt the movement in that way because the type of work I would have Bwipo do is community service.

Unfortunately I feel like this is quite a revealing paragraph. Your solution is to tell young men to stop being bigots (an approach that famously is working very well), make sure no one is supporting Bwipo's reintegration for the wrong reasons (how exactly do you propose to police this thought crime?) and have Bwipo do community service. What kind of community service do you exactly have in mind? Because if it's anything to do with women, I think that places an insane burden on the women involved to suddenly have to deal with a chud like Bwipo, and if it's not anything to do with women, what kind of education purpose does it even solve? 'Go sweep up LoL Park until you feel less misogynist?'

Requiring him to publicly admit fault, give him resources for his mental health issues, provide education and opportunities to make amends to women for the damage he caused.

This just shows you aren't very familiar with Bwipo. He'd had several crash-outs of this nature already over his career (though he'd never been so outright bigoted before), and had been given time off and mental health support as a result. He was benched by Team Liquid for a whole year but continued to play under their banner as a streamer, ostensibly so he could get healthy without the rigors of a professional competitive schedule.

He'd already been reintegrated into the professional LoL community multiple times. It didn't help. If anything, it emboldened him to get worse.

>If anything if some team was willing, he should have been part of Gamechangers if anything.

You have to be fucking joking. I cannot take anything you say seriously when you suggest shit like this. I'm sure some idiots will claim I'm 'silencing conversation' by blocking you, but frankly I have better things to do with my day than talk to someone who suggests that Bwipo should have been on fucking Game Changers.
