"My choice? My choice is to reject them from my spaces. They're not welcome here, they're not welcome in gaming anymore. To strive towards justice, we sometimes have to be harsh and exclusionary."
The above is a quote by a riot games employee, talking about recent drama that has completely engulfed the reddit and company forums. What does it refer to? Let me give proper context.
Riot Games has recently been accused in a kotaku article of internal sexism

One of the ways they (obviously) tried to deflect that problem was a last minute arrangement, at PAX event where they would not allow Men (women and non binary exclusive) to attend previously openly advertised panels until 2:30 PM.
This has obviously lead to a shit storm (95% of LoLs playerbase is male or some absurd number like that) in which the 'evil' white men are calling out Riot Games for Sexism, since they are being denied opportunities due to their gender.
In the midst of this is Lesbian female caster froskurinn who has started her own war with other eSports talent, including friends (thorin) and colleagues of long time (kelsey moser) who happens to be a woman who doesnt agree with affirmative descrimination.
In the meantime, Riot employee(s) have also insulted their entire playerbase are toxic evil monsters across multiple mediums and so on.
