Riot Games Issues New Company Values In Wake of 'Bro' Culture Accusations (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Riot Games, the maker of the enormously popular League of Legends multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) PC game, has issued a new set of company values on its web site. They're the result of some soul searching after the company was accused by many of its own employees last year of having a sexist "bro" culture. The company said that these new values replace the company's Manifesto from 2012 and reflects conversations with more than 1,700 Rioters about "what we want our company to be."
You mad bro? I say no chance your words reflect reality
You bother to track ESPN's ratings over the past few years?
Hint: they dropped all their SJW "reporters" a few months ago. And once Jamele Hill et al were shitcanned, ratings came back up.
Imagine that.
Don't believe me? Google says, "Grow some balls and learn, you fucking pussy!"
Actually they are being sued over it: https://kotaku.com/current-and...
And suspended an exec for "repeatedly touching subordinates balls or butt or farted in their faces." https://kotaku.com/top-riot-ex...

Have you listened to the tapes? The ones that the police made.
They do not sound like someone negotiating a business transaction. Weinstein badgers the victim, repeatedly and persistently demanding she go to his hotel room even though she keeps strongly refusing.
And even if it was a deal of some kind, the fact that he demonstrably ruined other careers when women refused him means that any future "negotiation" was done under coercion.

You are saying that people should stop complaining about their boss touching their balls and farting in their faces?
No, we're saying that Excluding male players from a panel at a convention is wrong :

It's not like Riot Games is just a bunch of "Dudebros", there's a bunch of SJW types that work there too, none of this is actually new. Riot Games is a mess. On both sides of the political spectrum. Their game community is cancerous, their internal politics are screwed.
If anything, that "Boss" that was "touching balls" wasn't even a "Bro" to begin with, just your typical Male Feminist Ally, which (made up stat) have higher per-capita rates of sexual assault than normal males.
"Not to mention all the idiots who use words like boxen."

Yes, I think that's it in a nutshell.
