Over the past few months, Riot Games has been under a ton of criticism.
Current and former employees have accused the company of fostering a toxic, sexist workplace culture and breaking California labour laws, which all led to a mass walkout last month, and judging by how it went, we’re in for a lot more action.
Basically, Riot is in hot water, and today, we want to walk you through and explain how we got here.

Thank you for having a lot of audio anecdotes from Cecilia D’Anastasio.
As soon as I heard micro-aggression, I zoned out.
jesus what a crybaby
hey its this guy again ???
Also the Chinese own Riot now, and they don't give two shits. No amount of complaining is gonna change that.

Ball grabbbing? we do this in the military all the time
Lmao wtf is this “it’s not that girls don’t like video games. It’s that they weren’t marketed towards them” ???? omfg basically I don’t like something unless it’s shoved down my throat? Woooow aaaand unsubscribe ?
So an alleged email chain about the hottest women and a higher up straight harassing workers of both sexes sparks the reaction of an unfair sexist work environment with 0 proof to back that up. Hmm. Welcome to 2019 where we take your sympathy for one legitimate problem and try to abuse it by linking it to other supposed issues. Absolutely ridiculous…gaming DNA. Fuck off man report the facts and only the facts take your bullshit agenda to another profession.
Wait did someone actually stick their balls in someone’s face and get promoted?? Or is she just blowing more of what is clearly smoke
Has anyone seen skins riot makes .No wonder they are a bunch of sleezy perverts.
Oof forgot males are born with Gamer DNA duh ?♂️
Micro aggressions LOL. you lose all credibility when you use that word.
Damn a company that works even shittier than valve, why the f are their even gamers in their company, ofc they act stupid, because they represent gamers and guess what they are like that
wtf did they think would happen when you gives a bunch of fuckin nerds with no social skills power? That;s kinda the same reason other silicon valley tech companies also have this issue.
Not that I’m picking a side but I would just like to point out that there aren’t even any pro female players so I guess it would just make sense that women wouldn’t move up in the behind the scenes of it either. Not to be sexist or anything but girls just aren’t as good at video games/ producing them
Honestly part of the issue is how awkward gamers are. Guy gamers are usually losers in school and never learn how to act properly around girls.
Looks like Riot Games learn good things on CCP how to manage people just like how they treat chinese people in China after Tencent bought them out under CCP. Winnie the Pooh will be proud.
half of that is bullshit and never happened… everyone over reacted
How about we stop reporting all of our teammates actually instead of being crybabies spamming rito and causing them to ignore us?
The Score eSports is the best channel on YouTube
Can Steven Crowder debunk them
everything is based on 1 reporter with "some sources"
why should we believe any of this
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
look woman or man black or white ceo or entry level it doesn't matter. we can all agree that riot blows. at league at esports at workplace environment. it doesn't matter riot sucks at everything.
This occurs in like 95% of work places… good luck fixing it lol
riot autofills us as support but refuse to support themselves.
What a bunch of snowflakes
gamers are beta males
imagine casually jerking off in riot’s toalet and then comes trynda and grabs your balls
No, most guys don't want women in there because the same women laughed at them for it. It does not excuse them, but that isn't gaming dna. A real gamer would excited, not sexist.
That’s not fraternity stuff at least not the old fashioned way. I was in a fraternity in Germany where they originated and stuff like that is unheared off.
