treated worse or better is, being treated DIFFERENTLY is not, that form of equality is impossible.

socieity will always differentiate between men and women, no matter how equal we are in every regard socially and politically, this is ingrained in human nature, the only way we will all be treated exactly the same is if we all become exactly the same.

for instance most women can not be approached as if they were "one of the guys" this is not to say that the men wouldn't do it, it is to say that the women would not accept it in any regard.

and this thread certainly has gone on a long time.
Women being treated differently is sexism.

Its discrimination between sexes.

Are you saying discriminating between the sexes isn't sexism?

You may disagree with this outlook, but I doubt making a moral stand against societies perception of women is Riots main priority here.
How is making a few champions that aren't pornstars jeopardizing their success that much?

come at me.

No. You're missing the point. As a company with as much reach as they currently have, Riot is in a unique position, a position where they can change things, there's a chance here to alter the way women are viewed in video games as a whole, industries follow trends, and trends have to start somewhere.

Sure making a money is great, but there's a difference between being rich, and being respected.

I'd rather be respected
its a great thing that you aren't a business then? and more specifically you are not Riot, you do not get to choose what they do or do not do, no amount of passive aggressive yarping will change this.

every feminist group says this about every company, and fully expects them to cow-tow to whatever they say they "should" be doing, they take what should simply be a suggestion into very much passive-aggressive threat-and-or-demand.

this is akin to the radical femenist mantra that if you are not actively trying to forward womens right's, (marching in the street? protesting? what?) you are inherently sexist.

and if you aren't actively stoping rape, and rape "culture" you are inherently a rapist yourself, for "supporting" rape "culture".

all your doing is just another type of labeling and demanding, just through that presistant and irritatingly weak feminist "passive-aggressive" style.

you might want to take a note from radical muslims and just demand heads roll until you get your way, then every country and company on earth will bow to your threats.

ok
>radical feminism YEAH HOW DARE WOMEN WANT TO BE TREATED EQUALLY THATS RADICAL AND FRINGE THINKING THERE

also

>rape culture It exists. It definately exists.

I'm not making threats, but its great that you're comparing non-violent protests to that, all I'm doing is complaining.

I'll give you a hint. Complaining is the reason everything nice you have in life, exists.

Yes, but last I checked we're talking about champions in the same sort of type bracket as other humanoid/non monster champions.
