I find it comical that he almost certainly would have had nothing done to him had he posted this exact tweet, but was going to play a guy. #equality #itisnotactuallyaboutequality

I wonder if Maddelisk would write that sort of tweet refering to a male gamer if she would get disqualified...

Not saying its wrong or right to write something like that, but there is a double standart in male-female interactions that sometimes becomes very unsetteling.

Personaly, If I was Maddelisk I would contact Kas myself and tell him that he should publicly say he messed up, and I would then ask the organizers to allow Kas to play.
Equality or not, drama or not, etc, The people that I respect the most is the ones that solve the problem, not those who can figure out who is to blame.

Hm, just in case anyone wanted to know the #realtalk, Maddelisk is in the right, Kas is correct to feel shame and is right to apologize and Nightend is a piece of shit. The end!

*disclaimer that this is reported rapes. I'm sure it's slightly less one-sided given I'd speculate men are less likely to report being raped by a woman.


^ that right there is a double-standard in male female interactions. Treating it like it's a 50/50 thing is (rightly) very unsettling for women, given the ongoing and disproportionate victimization they suffer at the hands of men. Kind of disrespectful too. I agree that it should be adressed and avoided with/by both genders, sexual violence is not something that should be diminished through being an acceptable part of shittalking, but treating a woman less harshly for that kind of joke is fair in my books.
