It's really inspiring that she DREAMS of playing in Code S/WCS Premiere against males and winning. She puts in the time, she has the motivation, now it's just up to her to do it. | ||

If she was a dude, she would probably buy most of their food, or cook it if he enjoys cooking. ^ It is standard for the older person to treat and take care of the younger. | ||

She was able to join a pro-team (due to connections/dating Gerrard). Her mother wasn't supportive of her idea of becoming a pro-gamer, yes, but her father totally supports her which is more than enough. Doesn't sound like much of a struggle to me. hit the nail on the head here. its good to be objective in esports because there is a lot of marketing and smoke screens going on all the time. i cant shake the feeling that females in esports currently is just a demographic diversification strategy. So whilst people are sensitive to sexism towards female esports figures, overly supporting them when they have not proven themselves or have not even committed years and years to the game is reverse sexism, no? | ||
