A popular one League of Legends ESports player, Bwipo, was suspended by his organization after he said on a Twitch stream that women should not play competing while menstruating. Bwipo, whose real name is Gabbreu Rau, viewers told about a Twitch stream: “I think there is just not enough support for female pro players … Ladies anatomy and their monthly cycles are simply extremely different from men, and there is no good support system for women to continue what they are going through.” And before he mentioned women’s anatomies, some viewers probably thought he would talk about how there should be more support for women in eSports. But then he continued:
“… even men just tilt from their F – ING spirit when they play League or Legends. So if a woman has the wrong part of the month and plays competitive, there is a time of the month in which you should not be to play competitive games as a woman, in my opinion.” He justified His statement by saying that it is based on his experience ‘a while with a life’. He claimed that the woman he lived played League of Legends Made it “very clear when she just got irritated about every stupid little thing.” Bwipo added: “I am not trying to be sexist or something.” His video circulated RedditBut it is no longer available.
In a response to his statement Posted on TiktokThe host and co-maker of League Awards, Eefje “Sjokz” Depoorter, criticized and opposed his views. “I thought we were over,” she said about Bwipo who called the period of a woman the “wrong” time of the month. “That is such a crazy take,” Sjokz continued to talk about how women make Olympic plates, climb mountains, work 24-hour services, providers are for their children, and take care of the elderly, all while experiencing bleeding and pain. “Also the idea that men are not emotional in the league matches …” She walked away and made a sound.
The organization of BWIPO, Flyquest, then posted an announcement on X, and acknowledged that he “made sexist comments” and that they were “antithetic” for the core values. “Comments that can even discourage a young woman from striving for her dream to become a pro player, damages the future of eSports, and we take that very seriously,” wrote it. Flyquest has decided to suspend “Bwipo from Play for the next series in the LTA Playoffs”, in which he is currently located. The organization also donates its prize money from the event by issues that support women in gaming. To note, Flyquest has an eSports team called Red That shows “women and gender -expansive people in gaming.”
After the announcement of Flyquest, BWIPO placed an apology on X, which was assigned misconduct. “I’m sorry for those I hurt,” he wrote. “I regret using my platform to feed Vitriol and sexism instead of support.”
