saocyn United States937 Posts June 25 2020 19:34 GMT #1 The one main caster I knew had skeletons in the closet but everyone loved him for his talented casting albeit biased casting. I have unfollowed any stream that allowed this guy to be a caster for close to 6 years now like JoinDota etc. Tobi (TobiWanDota) Dawson, had built a large career with organization Freaks 4U Gaming the company behind joinDOTA JoinDOTA's growth largely contributed by Toby, has been employed with them for 7 years. He remains an "Honorary Member" among their staff. Prior to these accusations, Toby exhibited subtle Racism in cast that involved CN teams vs Western teams. Casters should show impartiality. During the duration of a professional career, repeatedly shown bias, favoritism and sexism. It was evident during the casting of TI-2 when there were supposed "Scheduling conflicts" in what games Toby did or did not want to cast. (Which amounted to Toby refusing to give favorable coverage to Chinese teams) Chinese Team (IG) Invictus Gaming, ended up winning the championship that year. In 2012, another offense involved Toby (Tobiwan) Dawson streaming live-public games in which he targetted (BIPOC) saying "you heard the expression..lame as a ni**ers baby?" (Screenshot below) In 2012, Dota 2 Starladder Finals Kiev - Toby attempted to marginalize Female Dota 2 players with his commentary. He supported European tournament organizations that mandated the objectification of female Dota players. https://imgur.com/vv6xv New Female Dota 2 players became increasingly reluctant and disappointed that a professional streamer/caster would contribute to furthering the gender divide that already had minuscule representation, to begin with. https://tigrish.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-two-cents.html In 2015, Further evidence revealed by management (Cyborggmatt) Involved Toby excluding Attendees based on their race. (Chinese) as a contractual obligation for his attendance. Contractual stipulations also included barring other promotions (BTS) from casting and or streaming tournaments ran by Chinese organizers. To this day we are unaware of the influence / Involvement of JoinDota. In recent Events Toby Dawson (34) (TobiWANDota) from London, England, has been identified as a Sexual Predator within the Dota 2 Community by various victims, friends, and co-workers. (Accusations of implied rape) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TobiWan TobiWan After allegations against GrandGrant surfaced, Toby spoke in defense of the victims. (6/23/20) Which in turn, leads other victims in the community, to speak out against him. After being called out in a reply post, Toby admits he's not innocent but a "Better-man now" Upon discovering Toby feigning ignorance, she immediately called him out. Toby's Original Twit longer Response (His first response Which he deleted and rewrote) imgur.com Toby Admits to the allegations In Response (Now Deleted) Akin to R.Kelly & Trump "Settling matters in private" Cap (Caster) urged other's to come out and he would stand by them Cofactorstrudel Steps up Botjira was the first to take up cap's Support and revealed: In response, Meruna (Syndren's girlfriend) revealed - Tobi Did "NOT" take no for an answer in a twit longer. https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr9phu In response to Meruna, EeVee Has come forward In response to Meruna, Ashnichrist Provides TEXT Proof in Support of Meruna's Accusations "Toby isn't an isolated case, believe meruna" https://twitter.com/ashnichrist/status/1276199529252036616/photo/1 Other Women Step Up To Confirm the allegations More Women Come out Toby's "New response" once called out for his hypocrisy and virtue signaling https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr9pi5 Syndren (Long Time Co-Caster / Partner) Response in discovering What Tobi did to his current GF.

(36:29) Lumi: I take no part in toby's comments (36:31) Toby: (Proceeds to laugh) HAHAHA ahhh because you know the rebuttal that could come back at you! (Willingly Acknowledging sexism and the consequences while proceeding to continue taking part in it.)

I waited in line, and when we went to take a picture, a caster said 'Wait, we have to do this pose' and slid down my leg. I didn't think too much of it, but I could see the huge crowd of people in front of us all taking their pictures and I was just leaning as far away as possible to make it as not awkward as possible."
