Well if he was among the people harassing and doxxing, I really hope the team drops him. If one wants to be a professional, then they should act like one. And not go along with this bullshit that part of the community did.

Female Overwatch Contenders player steps down from team after conspiracy from male players [UP: confirmed not the one playing]

Anyone involved in doxxing another player should have their access to the game revoked. Sounds like grounds for a software license termination if you ask me.
This doesn't even make sense. Why leave a fucking game and take the penalty?
I honestly don't understand how Dafran keeps getting second chances despite showing over and over that he doesn't deserve them.
Screw that guy.
by progressive in this case, u just mean the character design?
if so, that has nothing to do with what type of people play a game
Suspicion of what? Why would the gender of the player matter in anyway whatsoever that it'd cause a....suspicion?
The player in question is Haunt who has been hardware banned by Blizzard before and has his Twitter account taken down recently.
Both her known accounts only have the last 4-5 seasons with limited hours that indicate an alt account.
Dafran wasn't doing the Doxxing, he was just being his usual shitty self.
Tbh, I have never actually seen anyone ask this question. I think deep down everyone just knows why.
A good friend's brother played in minor league baseball. The Tides. He made like 20k or something. No one cared or knew who he was, let alone that he was trans the whole time. He was just some guy (well, girl, but no one knew that). But if a woman tried to join the team holy shit would there be an uproar. I can only imagine.
The character design, hiring practices, charity efforts, and and general ethos of Overwatch as a story lean hard into leftist territory.
I understand it being a AAA game means it's nonetheless going to attract the shitbirds regardless, but at the same time I'm like how do you tolerate the damn thing? It'd be like me trying to play Hatred or The Last Night.
Thanks, saw that picture but didn't make the connection. And as I said, the team should drop him especially if this ain't his first rodeo.
That actually sounds like an incredible story... did it ever get any publicity ?
Not surprising that when there is doxxing, stupidity isn't too far behind. Now this idiot will get the privilege of being banned from Discord.
Dafran seemingly wasnt Doxxing but he was questioning how legit she was on stream. Hes never far from trouble.
No he's a lawyer now. No one knows but his family and close friends like me.
Edit: shit sorry she. I grew up with her, always knew her as my pal's tough older brother. But it's she.
Please find a better insult than virgin.
But yeah, this is why I stay far far away from these kinds of games, and thankfully have zero intention of removing my gender neutral usernames and using voice chat ever
Based on the weekly boyfriend game video reviews topics I'd not say this place is immune either.
well I really don't think anyone cares about a company's hiring practices or their charity efforts. also no one cares about the Overwatch "story" lol
for character design, there might be some people who care about that (like those who refused to play GTA San Andreas)
BUT then you factor in that Overwatch is an esport with lots of potential money on the line, then of course you will have super good players trying for that no matter what
Poor phrasing, I mean to say people would be suspicious of the player regardless of the gender.
Last I heard Haunt was on some open division team which is the lowest tier of OW pro scene which anyone can join, he ain't going anywhere in the pro scene.
Contenders games are played online with no facecam, idk how theyy prove the player playing is the person that got in, but they must have a way to do so nevertheless, just wanted to clarify that cause no one else explained xD
I believe only SK and NA have finals on stage played in LAN
From the literal fucking OP:
Yeah, I see what you mean. If the player had a man's name, his gender definition would have been questioned!
No evidence though!
Yeah oh man, those threads have been infuriating to read. Such great videos and dumdums have to bring their irrelevant bullshit into that too.
Good.
No, it's about you using virgin as an insult.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Can you clarify what you're pointing out?
This seems to be the real story and not the gender issue the article establishes. From what I gathered, people want to know if Ellie is indeed real or a catfish. https://imgur.com/a/BPDlGrO
This infographic smh. Sociopathic levels of effort are going into determining whether an overwatch esports player is a girl or not.
The FGC gets shit on constantly but it's not nearly as bad as other communities. Probably because people only see the "bad side", aka those compilations of people raging when they lose.
Wow!
It's perfectly possible to praise a single aspect of a subject while also acknowledging that it can be just as flawed as the second subject we're criticizing!
It's almost as if criticism doesn't have to default to some bullshit 'all or nothing' wall to talk into! Goddamn! You figured me out, caught me red handed!
Do you have any real intention to engage in this discussion or are you gonna slum about in this thread with musty-feet 'gotcha!' attempts? Yes, the FGC has issues. It's still horribly, horribly sexist and misogynistic like any other gaming cabal!
I cannot believe I'm perfectly capable of admitting that.
This seems to be really fucking stupid. I can't comprehend. People can be way too invested in video games and also in the communities, this is one example. That conspiracy theories like this are created. I don't understand what's the point, why do this. What does it achieve?
That thing is pretty outdated, she did play on stream for a bit but has since taken them down because of the harassment, Mini of Legacy Esports on Australia contenders and Kellar have also played with her. Unless there is a grand conspiracy between them and Sugarfree then I don't know why it matters who she is, if she can't play she would've gotten exposed in Contenders.
They believe she has a voice changer.
This reminds me of watching a fgc tournament and a female player stepping in to play and the chat exploding with questions if it is really a girl or a "trap" (really sad that nerd media established this as a frequently used word).
As if it really matters and as if this people have to prove anything to someone else on the internet.

Not everyone of course, but far, far too many. Particularly at the highest levels of competition. It's the same kind of people in every game. OW, League, Dota, CSGo.
So much male fragility. So many gifts wasted on bitchmade men.

Hmm, I see. I only put 15 minutes of research since I did not want to contribute to this thread ignorantly so thanks for clarifying that.
The effort the community is putting is towards figuring out if Ellie is real or a catfish--not Ellie's sex.
Who is Ellie? I don't know or care to know. If Ellie is real, it sucks that it had to step-down as esports could have been a great opportunity. But if it is not, then is funny to see people white knighting a fake persona.
