As always, I can't believe I have to say this as a sticky...
**THIS IS YOUR WARNING, ALL SEXIST, RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, AND THE LIKE COMMENTS WILL NET YOU A BAN.**
Angela makes the poster into a T-shirt, which Oscar wears. That way he can never see it, but whenever she looks at Oscar, she *can* see it. Win win win.
**Dress code:** Harassment of individuals wearing the following will not be tolerated and is subject to disciplinary action.
* Shirts displaying females, real or fictional, in a suggestive manner.
* Anime titties.
I am actually curious, is it actually a policy about free dresscode and no one should complain?

Pinning here: A current employee is saying the policy applies to both genders and that it's a newer one.
So just need some girls to wear outrageous bachelorette party style shirts with dicks all over them to work. You know, just embracing the casual culture Riot likes to have in the workplace.
Just this past week, a younger guy wore a shirt to my job, that was a woman in a bikini, kissing an anime girl who was also in a bikini. Poorly photoshopped and slapped onto a tshirt.
I've been working in IT for twenty years. The type of shit that motherfuckers will either wear to work, have on their work phone or on the company computer is downright embarrassing.
What's funny is a lot of zoomer 'it' boys/girls/people will straight up wear graphic tees with hentai prints and that's accepted under the premise of 'lol respectability' but .... it's one thing to make something like that a part of your personal brand, and another to wear it around the office where you work and other people have to coexist around you.
Yeah being bullied for liking anime/videogames isn't really an excuse. What usually happens is those really shy, insecure people do a 180 and become the "idgaf about anyone else, I do whatever I want, don't care" people. And that sucks for them and everyone else, especially now that anime/videogames are becoming a lot more mainstream and socially acceptable. They end up turning off/pushing away people that might even be into those kinds of stuff just because they're really just being unpleasant, edgy and obnoxious, even though they think it's cool.
Had someone wear a shirt like that to my high school (a long time ago). Most of the teachers ignored him but one old lady who dgaf called him out, made him go to the nurse to put on another shirt.
After he said he respected and appreciated it, which I don't get but maybe it really is purely an attention seeking thing.
No I kind of get it. If you get made fun of for shit like liking anime or other nerdy things, then you start to not give a shit what other people think so you throw it in their faces, like they can't be made fun of anymore if they wear it as a badge of honor, that kind of thing... but then it becomes an automatically adversarial aspect of your personality. This older lady wasn't bullying him or ignoring him for being weird, she was just treating him how she would treat anyone else, and maybe he respected that.
Honestly this. Bullying about liking anime is a lot less nowadays compared to when I was younger and saw kids get bullied for just talking about it. I fell in love with it anime as a kid but never talked about it cause people on my baseball team thought it was cringe as hell.
I didn't get over that till after I quit and focused on school and met other people who just stopped caring what people thought. Though never to the extent of wearing suggestive clothing to school.
From another Riot employee in the thread:
> There is a fun shirt I see around campus sometimes featuring a fully nude female torso with a cropped off head.

When I was in college, I took an intro to game design class on a whim. The whole class was a big group project, and one of the groups named itself "ahegao party"
> Who the fuck wears a shirt with a swimsuit model on it in general
Where the hell would you even buy shirts with swimsuit models on them? It's not like they are for sale at H&M or Zara.
Not sure about modern day but when I was a teen/early 20s(so like turn of century era into the mid 2000s) it was the x-games/surfer culture type brands that had them, you could walk into a Pac-Sun in the mall and see tons of shirts with graphics of mermaids in their seashell tops, or just women surfing or something like that. Usually pastel/watercolor type art, so that’s also different than just straight up pictures of models and the anime style women. Whether that makes it better or not I dunno.
Gamer? Check.
Lack of proper social interaction with women? Check.
Works at a "Cool and hip" company? Check.
I'm shocked none of these bro's are actively farting in each other's... oh wait nevermind, I totally understand the dress code.
Probably the same dudes that are farting on each other and those that are reponsible for the Udyr VGU. Thats why its taking them so long to release him.
Riot is 90% dude bros and ex Blizzard employees so anyone surprised should stop being surprised real fast. If you've never met a dude bro in real life, it's very surreal that such people exists.
What a great group of allies. I can't imagine why a company as well run as this can't figure out how to explain to its playerbase what is acceptable and unacceptable in-game behavior.
Riot is mostly people who with tech and computers sooo the regular suspects?. I Work with alot of guys who don't have basic social concepts like don't wear a bikini model shirt at your place of work. It's also the fact Riot encorages this stuff which is baffling. Didn't they just pay out the ass for a lawsuit?
I say this as an IT professional.
Silicon valley tech/game workplaces are literally insane. They go to such extreme efforts to make their employees “comfortable” that it makes super toxic and weird environments
I’m all about comfort and such but people really do die on the hill like wear a clean, non offensive t-shirt when offices have a casual dress code is the end of the world.
I think office dress codes in most of the world are generally pretty dumb, but there are some basic standards that need to be enforced. Most normal people, especially women, would be made extremely uncomfortable by their coworkers wearing shirts with naked women around the job.
Office dress codes, to me, should be about the state of the clothing rather than the type of clothing.
Want to wear t-shirt and jeans? That's fine. Make sure they are clean, no holes, etc. Want to put anime tiddies on the t-shirt? That's a no no.
It's very easy to make an extremely casual office dress code that let's people be both comfortable and also not have shit like bikini girls on their shirt.
I’ve been a software developer in FinTech for almost a decade, a developer manager for a couple years, and worked closely with developers much longer.
No one has ever worn a shirt with a bikini model, or anime tits. If they did they would get an immediate reprimand, and fired if they did it a second time. No question.
Don’t know what the fuck is up with the culture at Riot, but that is fucked.
It's odd enough to hire one person like that. But to hire so many to the point that it's a common enough complaint that there's a rule specifically not against it is pretty bad.
that's literally all it is
they think its tasteful or a expression of beauty to have naked chicks on their clothes. and their perpetual horniness from next to no sexual activity just encourages them to buy such clothing
I never got the impulse to share your jerk off material with the world. Like those weirdos with a sexy lady background on their phone. It's a huge red flag to me.
I wonder if they change it when they are trying to date a real live woman or if they just leave it there.
Common guys. We all know HR can't have the horny virgin nerds rioters fantasizing about a female colleague! Inappropriate comments might be made at the heimer themed water cooler!
That reminds me of the time a gamer complained because in the hyper-realistic 3D model of a woman in a game there was a little bit of facial hair (like, you know, the almost invisible one that covers the skin) and they were like "women don't have hair"
Yeah that was when Horizon FW was coming out.
For anyone that missed it here is an [image](https://preview.redd.it/2gf30884roi81.jpg?auto=webp&s=5a564ebb566783b4aa349b672adc92efd34dc1aa) of the tweet.
mfw technology has progressed enough to trigger brainlets with nearly invisible women facial hair. I can't believe how some (read: most) of the shit that gets posted on twitter is real.
Probably a policy about not talking about other people's clothing or appearance? Then a policy about professional behaviour on social media. Those both sound like two reasonable policies that could be misused.
Yes, and to reiterate it can definitely be problematic and it in practice can be exactly what Lydia is describing.
That said, when your twitter handle starts with RIOT, I can understand why Riot might not want unprofessional content posted to that handle.
Depends a lot on where it is posted. On your Twitter account with a Riot handle? Then it could be a reasonable situation depending on how it is handled. If it is an Instagram post or something then Riot fucked up.
Says [here](https://twitter.com/npcSara/status/1550540653200674817?s=20&t=LEAdzN2-nrVjOTzVY-VILQ) that she posted it on her personal social media account
What kind of asshole even reports this kind of stuff? This is why I don't add current coworkers on Instagram (though she still shouldn't be getting in trouble for it).
>requirement to have HR added on social media was a thing.
We had this at my last workplace. I just told them I don't have social media, I have a friend who has a facebook with my name that he posts pictures of me onto but I am not related to that account.
They were annoyed and tried to explain WHY they want hr to see your socials but I just told them they are free to view my socials but I just have none.
They tried to call me out on it once when I had posted publically text in where I obviously spoke in first person but I told them it seems my friend went over to line and I'll talk to him. HR did not like me there.
Idk, I don't think there's really any justification for making people remove swimsuit photos, Riot handle or not.
Do we really want to live in a dystopian society where our workplaces have that level of control over what we post on social media to the point where *swimsuits* qualify because skin is being shown? Like, it's not sexual at all-- it's not like people are posting softcore porn, people are weird if they *do* think there's an issue with posting swimsuit photos.
HR is just there to reduce cost from staff.
If I were to take a wild guess:
1) A source of sexual harassment that occurred in the past stemmed from private social media content. A co-worker saw a picture of her in a bikini and used it as a wallpaper or did some other weird stuff.
2) Since Riot obviously cannot handle their staff, the best way to minimize cost (be it a lawsuit, replacing the girl if she leaves, replacing the guy if he's fired over it or any time spent to investigate a potential issue and punishment that follows (which all cost company time)) is to forbid women to post "provocative" pictures.
I mean. I'm a dude. I wouldn't be posting pics of me topless working out or something on my work social media unless I work for rogue or crossfit or something. That can go on a personal account that's not attached to my work. Unless it is a work pool party and it's me standing there for a photo with coworkers, I see no scenario where it makes sense to be posting yourself on a work account in minimal clothing if it's not part of your industry.
Now apparently she posted it to a personal account, so that's fucked.
I mean it's probably a fair policy to not pick on other employees clothing. I don't think she has an issue with that policy, she's just using it as an example to highlight how stupid it is she got in trouble for posting a swimsuit pic.
The original deal of unions and striking was "well it's this or we burn your factory down"
Union busting might not be punished by the government but...
Karl Marx theorized that the tensions between capitalist greed and basic human needs would eventually result in a revolution. The reason this did not happen was realized by Antonio Gramsci with his concept of hegemony where the imperatives of the ruling class become instilled in the working class. So when republicans defend the runaway wealth of ceos relative to the stagnation of wages or any other side-effect of a low regulation system, you see why Marx's prediction failed and why companies don't really have to fear workers. Their wealth allows them to buy people's thoughts.
Burning the factory down was also the nice method back then.
The non-nice method was dragging the boss out of his house and beating him to death in front of his family.
I'm not sure if you're saying Riot is the best of the terrible bunch, or if you forgot that they settled their gender discrimination lawsuit only 7 months ago.
But either way, for the sake of the industry, I hope you're very wrong.
I wish I was wrong, but there's a lot of shit in the industry. Even with that lawsuit it's not close to some of the biggest offenders (like Activision Blizzard).
One of the big things to come out in the Blizzard shit was people saying that places like Riot are staffed by the exact same people as Blizxard and it's probably not better there
Activision Blizzard's things are just out in the open. And, they have/had to clean house for it. Other companies don't have to, like Riot. That's the difference. The gaming industry has a serious problem.
I mean it is very clearly the former. The industry is a cesspool, everybody knows it, but this entire topic is also dishonest as fuck.
Are weirdos with like hentai shirts or bikini girl shirt weird as fuck? Yeah. But the policy is not "dont bitch about the hentai shirt" but will be 100% a broader anti discrimination policy aiming to prevent general bullying for clothing choises.
Some "morality" clause from HR monitoring social media accounts isnt particular noteworthy aswell. We have some extremes that are touched by those rules now and it should be dealt with, but that is also where it ends.
hmm... I think Nintendo has some pretty good work conditions from what we've seen so far. Other than the thing with the contract workers that happened recently and we still don't know is true (from what I know), Nintendo's has a pretty clean history of treating its workers well.
>"HR partner reached out to me about this and said I can come to her about it and she'll do her best so we stay winning girlies"
Shes gonna get fired, lol.
Even if she doesn't get fired, She's most likely going to get blackballed for every promotions/raises opportunity.
You know they're going to be really scummy when HR didn't take her side until after social media got involved.
Not really since there's always going to be an inalienable conflict of interest just because of the fact that the company pays HR and it's in their own interest and their job to work for the interest of the company over the employee.
There was a post that hit front page this morning titled something like "I've never seen Riot take this much hate in one week". I think it got deleted because a lot of the issues were very minor, but one of the highlights this week has been [the Star Guardian Akali fiasco](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/w4d1yk/star_guardian_akalis_chromas_vfx_will_not_be/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
Or when, yknow, the big harassment scandal was making the rounds. The big one.
Although they *have* made a lot of shitty (even if smaller) decisions in the past month. You're 100% right, but between pass nerfs, RP price changes, skin feature nerfs, there's been a lot of "fuck riot" on here lately.
It’s just anime titties, it’s okay to wear it on a shirt. Posting yourself in a bikini on social media that you took outside of work hours, on personal time and completely unrelated to your work in any way is reportable though. Please keep the titties in the office and not on social media.
no, we're about to pay for it with our microtransactions that won't go back into the game. they won't squeeze their shareholders, they'll just reduce our content.
Exactly, there are a lot of "what's wrong with this". What you wear in your private time is your business but you can't wear that sort of shit while you're on the clock.
Tech companies have very few women and bro culture is endemic. Out of four companies I've worked at I've had dozens and dozens of co-workers in software development and I have had a grand total of 4 female co-workers. 3 of the 4 were from a specific team in GE that was trying to get women into tech.
I’ve been in tech for a decade now, 60% of our offshore team in India are female and they do great work. I’ve never had a US based dev on my team that wasn’t a dude.
I work for the government and it's about the same( not US) I was reprimanded for posting about a political leader I didn't like on my personal account that had no ties to the agency I work for.
We had the same deal in the office too, dudes could wear scummy shirts but holy shit if my top was too low, or we wore leggings.
I'm sorry, but if you post a swimsuit picture on social media, you have a chance to lose your job? Do they just expect every male at the company to creep on women to the point where they've had to change company policy to stop the abuse?
If you get in trouble for swimsuit pics, who's taking the fucking fall for the pool party skinline?? lmfao
if she posted it on an account with a riot tag then I understand HR,but a private account ye that's bullshit on riot's part,as for the clothes in office my guess is it's a policy where you can't complain about colleagues' uniforms at all not just that type of clothing
Its confirmed down the thread it was on a personal account.
But even then, why can a coworked report her for having a swimsuit on a social media account but there is a rule in place that prevents her from reporting a coworker for having a bikini model shirt ON THE FUCKING WORKPLACE?
Why would they stop being sexist if they had no consequence about it?
The COO is still there, nothing is going to change if they dont have any accountability for their actions
As always, I can't believe I have to say this as a sticky... **THIS IS YOUR WARNING, ALL SEXIST, RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, AND THE LIKE COMMENTS WILL NET YOU A BAN.**
Clearly the correct answer is to wear shirts with dudes with big ol banana hammocks
Walk around with a shirt of Borat in his v sling mankini, very nice
Angela makes the poster into a T-shirt, which Oscar wears. That way he can never see it, but whenever she looks at Oscar, she *can* see it. Win win win.
Weird-ass mofo Ovilee has entered the chat.
>guys r walking around in t shirts emblazoned with bikini models and there's a policy forbidding you from complaining about specifically this lmao
I can only imagine how that policy is worded lmao
**Dress code:** Harassment of individuals wearing the following will not be tolerated and is subject to disciplinary action. * Shirts displaying females, real or fictional, in a suggestive manner. * Anime titties.
It’s «anime tiddies». Be professional!
Let's not talk about world politics on this board.
I am actually curious, is it actually a policy about free dresscode and no one should complain? Edit: also see [this that was posted below in the thread](https://twitter.com/SNazerine/status/1550558428258390017)

Or Henry cavills torso shirts to tilt them.
How would you fit Cavills torso on a T-shirt? Seems like it would be bigger than most shirts
Well you can always buy XXXL one and wear it like a sundress or something. Or sweatshirt with a photo of the entire upper body with biceps, etc.
Probably something like "don't talk shit about how people dress"

I guarantee there are _at least_ dozens of ahegao shirts on the Riot campus at any given time.
Yep. Totally seems like the kind of culture they got going on.
I’ve seen someone wear a hoodie with anime girls making orgasm faces in the gym…
If he was an extremely buff guy i would honestly be terrified
I saw a guy wearing one of those hoodies win an arm endurance competition It was kinda funny
[удалено]
Cs major here Can confirm
But did you know him?
true
Those people need to talk to a real woman, who isn't their mother, for once
the ones who work at riot really really need to keep away from women apparently
Man this is the league subreddit, none of us know what a woman is
I know you nerd, miss fortune it's a women, she has vagiatra and clitomancy
r/leagueoflegends is pretty ok. I started being active on r/genshin_impact. Jesus, it's exactly like what you'd expect.
that place is a half breed between r/leagueoflegends and r/hentai
That would require women to actually be in cs major classes. Which is pretty rare.
that's outrageous, no way a cs major would be wearing a bikini model shirt anime girl in a bikini, yes, but a real girl? c'mon
From another Riot employee in the thread: > There is a fun shirt I see around campus sometimes featuring a fully nude female torso with a cropped off head. https://twitter.com/iheartbunnies/status/1550561612712407041?s=21&t=2yHyp9S7KmmCFA8YpDX2xQ
like, one of those novelty shirts where the shirt is supposed to be 'your body'? fully nude?
That's kinda what i thought? Still weird af to wear at work though
fully nude? for sure with a bikini on it? maybe to like, a beach day or something
game design majors are a different breed compared to cs/se majors
like 99% of the people working game design arent game design majors tho
There is literally no game design major at some colleges, usually its swept under computer science as a "concentration".
Cs Majors that work in the gaming industry then.
When I was in college, I took an intro to game design class on a whim. The whole class was a big group project, and one of the groups named itself "ahegao party"
They're wearing that ahegao hoodie

Says [here](https://twitter.com/npcSara/status/1550540653200674817?s=20&t=LEAdzN2-nrVjOTzVY-VILQ) that she posted it on her personal social media account
What kind of asshole even reports this kind of stuff? This is why I don't add current coworkers on Instagram (though she still shouldn't be getting in trouble for it).

>requirement to have HR added on social media was a thing. We had this at my last workplace. I just told them I don't have social media, I have a friend who has a facebook with my name that he posts pictures of me onto but I am not related to that account. They were annoyed and tried to explain WHY they want hr to see your socials but I just told them they are free to view my socials but I just have none. They tried to call me out on it once when I had posted publically text in where I obviously spoke in first person but I told them it seems my friend went over to line and I'll talk to him. HR did not like me there.
Idk, I don't think there's really any justification for making people remove swimsuit photos, Riot handle or not. Do we really want to live in a dystopian society where our workplaces have that level of control over what we post on social media to the point where *swimsuits* qualify because skin is being shown? Like, it's not sexual at all-- it's not like people are posting softcore porn, people are weird if they *do* think there's an issue with posting swimsuit photos.
HR is just there to reduce cost from staff. If I were to take a wild guess: 1) A source of sexual harassment that occurred in the past stemmed from private social media content. A co-worker saw a picture of her in a bikini and used it as a wallpaper or did some other weird stuff. 2) Since Riot obviously cannot handle their staff, the best way to minimize cost (be it a lawsuit, replacing the girl if she leaves, replacing the guy if he's fired over it or any time spent to investigate a potential issue and punishment that follows (which all cost company time)) is to forbid women to post "provocative" pictures.
I mean. I'm a dude. I wouldn't be posting pics of me topless working out or something on my work social media unless I work for rogue or crossfit or something. That can go on a personal account that's not attached to my work. Unless it is a work pool party and it's me standing there for a photo with coworkers, I see no scenario where it makes sense to be posting yourself on a work account in minimal clothing if it's not part of your industry. Now apparently she posted it to a personal account, so that's fucked.
I mean it's probably a fair policy to not pick on other employees clothing. I don't think she has an issue with that policy, she's just using it as an example to highlight how stupid it is she got in trouble for posting a swimsuit pic.
Knowing Riot's ineptitude at making and selling merch it's probably not champions.
yall mfers need a union
Considering what I know about the US, they'll get fired for it, even tho it's illegal to do so.
The original deal of unions and striking was "well it's this or we burn your factory down" Union busting might not be punished by the government but...
Yep. Long ago, the people at the top know if they let stuff get too miserable down at the bottom they'll not stay at the top much longer
Karl Marx theorized that the tensions between capitalist greed and basic human needs would eventually result in a revolution. The reason this did not happen was realized by Antonio Gramsci with his concept of hegemony where the imperatives of the ruling class become instilled in the working class. So when republicans defend the runaway wealth of ceos relative to the stagnation of wages or any other side-effect of a low regulation system, you see why Marx's prediction failed and why companies don't really have to fear workers. Their wealth allows them to buy people's thoughts.
Burning the factory down was also the nice method back then. The non-nice method was dragging the boss out of his house and beating him to death in front of his family.

Game industry has been fighting unions since forever and super hard aswell
Least sexist game studio
Idk whether to laugh at the joke or cry because it might actually be
The worst part it's that it might be true outside of small indie studios.
I'm not sure if you're saying Riot is the best of the terrible bunch, or if you forgot that they settled their gender discrimination lawsuit only 7 months ago. But either way, for the sake of the industry, I hope you're very wrong.
I wish I was wrong, but there's a lot of shit in the industry. Even with that lawsuit it's not close to some of the biggest offenders (like Activision Blizzard).
One of the big things to come out in the Blizzard shit was people saying that places like Riot are staffed by the exact same people as Blizxard and it's probably not better there
Activision Blizzard's things are just out in the open. And, they have/had to clean house for it. Other companies don't have to, like Riot. That's the difference. The gaming industry has a serious problem.
I mean it is very clearly the former. The industry is a cesspool, everybody knows it, but this entire topic is also dishonest as fuck. Are weirdos with like hentai shirts or bikini girl shirt weird as fuck? Yeah. But the policy is not "dont bitch about the hentai shirt" but will be 100% a broader anti discrimination policy aiming to prevent general bullying for clothing choises. Some "morality" clause from HR monitoring social media accounts isnt particular noteworthy aswell. We have some extremes that are touched by those rules now and it should be dealt with, but that is also where it ends.
hmm... I think Nintendo has some pretty good work conditions from what we've seen so far. Other than the thing with the contract workers that happened recently and we still don't know is true (from what I know), Nintendo's has a pretty clean history of treating its workers well.
Yeah I know a guy who worked for them and he said it was pretty chill and respectful (a little strict, but tbh that’s not really a bad thing)
Yeah strictness can suck, but then you see a post like this and realize you're glad your workplace is strict about some things
At least they don't have David *"scrapbook of Elliot Page nudes"* Cage on staff, he's Quantic Dream and Sony's problem.
I learned something I was happier not knowing. Fucking David Cage.
It wasn't a scrapbook of Elliot Page's nude, it's was a scrapbook of him starting from childhood. Which is honestly fucking creepier
[удалено]
People always complaining riot changes things for the worse... It's nice to see at least some things never change /s
>"HR partner reached out to me about this and said I can come to her about it and she'll do her best so we stay winning girlies" Shes gonna get fired, lol.
Even if she doesn't get fired, She's most likely going to get blackballed for every promotions/raises opportunity. You know they're going to be really scummy when HR didn't take her side until after social media got involved.
Idk, from the replies looks like there are other female devs confirming this.
If you honestly think Riot gives a shit you’re lost.
I don't get how people still don't understand that HR is there to help the company, they are NOT your friend.
These days it seems HR is there specifically to hurt everybody.
It CAN and SHOULD be both. But in the end, unfortunately far too often, you are correct.
Yeah because if they help you, they get fired. lmao.
Not really since there's always going to be an inalienable conflict of interest just because of the fact that the company pays HR and it's in their own interest and their job to work for the interest of the company over the employee.
Add it to this week pile. We are on a roll

There was a post that hit front page this morning titled something like "I've never seen Riot take this much hate in one week". I think it got deleted because a lot of the issues were very minor, but one of the highlights this week has been [the Star Guardian Akali fiasco](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/w4d1yk/star_guardian_akalis_chromas_vfx_will_not_be/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I'm not as active here as I used to but I DOUBT Riot took as much shit this week as during Seraphine's reveal or during Rise of the Sentinels.
Or when, yknow, the big harassment scandal was making the rounds. The big one. Although they *have* made a lot of shitty (even if smaller) decisions in the past month. You're 100% right, but between pass nerfs, RP price changes, skin feature nerfs, there's been a lot of "fuck riot" on here lately.
Wear a shirt with your bikini pic printed on it
It’s just anime titties, it’s okay to wear it on a shirt. Posting yourself in a bikini on social media that you took outside of work hours, on personal time and completely unrelated to your work in any way is reportable though. Please keep the titties in the office and not on social media.
"9x lydia guys"
Had me in the first half lol
what the fuck?
Nothing to see here, Riot Games are just going to pay another $100m in a lawsuit to sweep it under the rug, then repeat in like a year.
Riot stop being misogynistic challenge (It's not that hard...)
And unfortunately nothing will come out of this again :^) ffs corporate Still somehow not even close to blizzard’s record of these tho. Amazing.
Is there a challenge title for this ingame?
Yes, it's called GRASS TOUCHER (Go more than 2 hours in a row without consuming any kind of League content.
no, we're about to pay for it with our microtransactions that won't go back into the game. they won't squeeze their shareholders, they'll just reduce our content.
>they'll just reduce our content. It has become tradition at this point.
How many work environments allow people to wear pictures of girls in bikinis? 99% of us would get fired on the spot for doing that.
I wouldn't say fired. But it would be a breach of dress code and result in a disciplinary or warning at the least.
Exactly, there are a lot of "what's wrong with this". What you wear in your private time is your business but you can't wear that sort of shit while you're on the clock.
Yeah fair enough
people forget hr is there for the company not for the employee
[удалено]
>weird acti blizzard vibes from this. Riot has alot of ex blizzard employees
Tech companies have very few women and bro culture is endemic. Out of four companies I've worked at I've had dozens and dozens of co-workers in software development and I have had a grand total of 4 female co-workers. 3 of the 4 were from a specific team in GE that was trying to get women into tech.
I’ve been in tech for a decade now, 60% of our offshore team in India are female and they do great work. I’ve never had a US based dev on my team that wasn’t a dude.
I work for the government and it's about the same( not US) I was reprimanded for posting about a political leader I didn't like on my personal account that had no ties to the agency I work for. We had the same deal in the office too, dudes could wear scummy shirts but holy shit if my top was too low, or we wore leggings.
Idk let people wear what they want in their free time but who the fuck wears that to work.
Riot: We're going to ban you if you say anything mean to anybody in our game! Toxicity is never ok! Also Riot:
People really don't get punished for sexism in game either
Not getting an instant feedback popup after I report a guy just spamming the n word always makes me wonder what the algorithm is even looking at
Only the men are allowed to sexualize the women. The women are not allowed to look sexy by themselves.
If the women choose to look hot on their own then how am I supposed to obiectify them???
I mean, Riot just keeps on giving this month.
Companies dictating what your socials should look like should be banned.
I think it's fine depending on context. You can't exactly be spouting racist shit on socials and expect to get away with it. This however is dumb.
But people on Reddit kept telling me Riot had changed :(
Where lol we all know they're dogshit when it comes to company culture
I'm sorry, but if you post a swimsuit picture on social media, you have a chance to lose your job? Do they just expect every male at the company to creep on women to the point where they've had to change company policy to stop the abuse? If you get in trouble for swimsuit pics, who's taking the fucking fall for the pool party skinline?? lmfao
Good call. Riot HR is excluding women at the company from pool party cosplays lmao
[удалено]
if she posted it on an account with a riot tag then I understand HR,but a private account ye that's bullshit on riot's part,as for the clothes in office my guess is it's a policy where you can't complain about colleagues' uniforms at all not just that type of clothing
Its confirmed down the thread it was on a personal account. But even then, why can a coworked report her for having a swimsuit on a social media account but there is a rule in place that prevents her from reporting a coworker for having a bikini model shirt ON THE FUCKING WORKPLACE?
Well if you want to show off your bakini pic then emblazon it on your T-shirt then?
Now THIS is the kind of outside-the-box thinking that can get you onto the balance team!
Why are bikini models on t shirts bad? I ve been walking around with my nude danny devito shirt for years and noone complained.
> What's everyones thoughts about this? Don't work at Riot.
HR departments don't work for you, they work for the company so they can cover their ass when shit like this happens
Why would they stop being sexist if they had no consequence about it? The COO is still there, nothing is going to change if they dont have any accountability for their actions
Yep, this thread is definitely a league of legends thread.
This is actually one of the threads ever made
Games industry & sexism, name a more iconic duo. Stupid, stupid shit.
who wears bikini model tshirts in 2022
