Back in Jan w/ the changes at Riot- I transitioned roles. Skarner was my last project for lol. since he is dropping today, I'm officially no longer an Influencer Manager for
@LeagueOfLegends
Mixed feelings for sure- I love league. But I'm also hype for new challenges 🥰 (1/3)
The trans athlete “debate” would have dramatically affected me growing up.
I was 5’2” at 8 years old. 6’0” at 12. Parents complained so often i was the wrong age, i carried a copy of my birth certificate. I would have 100% been the target of the trans-vestigators. I remember a
Making sexual content about someone w/o consent should be a crime. Deep fakes, fan stories, fan art, secret photos, sharing nudes- all of these are violations of someone’s body autonomy when made w/o consent.
Being “famous” doesn’t remove your rights. So grossed out by this
If the debate about my sex would have also been on the table I would have 100% been the subject to constant body searches.
Sports are already “unfair” due to body differences. I had sooo much of an advantage over kids my age due to my size it was a joke. That’s how sports are.
Dad at basketball as a freshman screaming at me because I had a varsity jacket from a fall sport. He rallied the entire audience to scream that I was lying about my age BEFORE the game started. The game couldn’t start until they pulled up my school transcript. I was mortified.
Letting trans women/girls participate vs other women/girls is fine. They have an advantage sure. I had an advantage. Most premiere athletes have some weird body advantage. What’s next, breaking up basketball leagues by height?
I got a D1 College scholarship for a sport I never did before because of my height/body type and experience in a different sport. That’s an advantage most will never get.
I try to be accessible on the internet to everyone, but this is too much. sending me dm's with death threats/ hopes that I miscarry my baby over a lol cinematic and the lcs time is too far. i get passion, i get frustration. i get wanting to have your voice heard. i don't get this
Other memories:
I showed up to a swim meet and did a relay race. The girl in the lane next to me realized she had to race me in the same leg and started bawling. I had about 12 inches on her. She was terrified of me and I did nothing.
I accidentally put a girl in a stretcher when playing basketball in HS. She contested a ball with me, and I swept the ball so hard (that she was holding) she got body slammed to the ground so hard she couldn’t move. I had easily 100 lbs on her. It wasn’t intentional.
Hey everyone- putting this on mute and limited replies.
1) apologies for how I said “trans have an advantage.” My goal was to say “maybe they have an advantage but why do we only care about advantages now”
2) I’m 9 months pregnant so I need to rest and focus on that.
Post Twitchcon thoughts 🧵: ✨This is directed at no one in particular. ✨
There is a new generation of creator forming post Covid. Pro tip: the industry is small. We all talk. And many times the difference between being hired by a big company or not is a recommendation.
Today myself and several of my co-workers are standing up for what is right, just, and fair in regards to Forced Arbitration and Sexual Harassment. Its 2019, and forcing anyone to sit in a room with the company/person who did this and "talk it out" is unacceptable.

I leave my dms open because its part of my job to be accessible to creators. but if I need to close them, I will.
End of the day- I work on a video game. I'm not a doctor- your life is not on the line. Don't threaten mine to get your point across that you are angry.

its not my first time with this sort of attack- I'm sure it wont be my last. Maybe its the pregnancy talking but you don't threaten someone's unborn child.
I'll be back when i'm back
@Silverddragn
Soon! How I was treated is nothing compared to trans athletes. I just wanted to share that these “protections” would also hurt the cis athletes.
I got the word I’m safe, but my heart breaks for the 11% or 530 people whose entire world is changing right now. Sitting in discords/DMs/on social watching people get cut is gut wrenching.
Minutes ago, we shared an important update with Rioters about the future of Riot Games. Here’s what these changes mean for our games and what players can expect from us going forward:
Hey friends- I wanted to call out that shitting on another creator because you don’t agree with a choice is unkind.
I’m very excited to explore what a different, more casual co-stream for worlds is going to look like.

Gives the energy of “all it takes is to lie about your kids age. Hold them back a year and they will win everything all the time”
Still breaking the rules to “pretend” to be trans to get into sports.
We also released a full art refernce for Senna including the 3D file for her weapon, sheet music, turn around of both her and Lucian, high res stills, and voiceover lines. Go forth and create!

Yelling at someone working a door at a party is a bad look. Dropping your follower count to force your way into a private space is a bad look. Being rude to event staff is a bad look. Harassing passerby is a bad look. Breaking laws is a bad look. You never know who that person is
To clarify- These are different levels. Of course a fan fic isn't as bad as a deep fake. However, to say its NOT harmful at all, and shouldn't come with requirements for consent is also incorrect.
Also I'm not coming for your internal fantasy. Still weird champ but 🤷♀️
Im a mod for riot and LCS on twitch. I also exist on social. today was a hard, disappointing, tiring day for me.
every Rioter I know loves the community and wants to make them happy. No one person makes all the decisions on anything. please just keep that in mind 🙏
I spent most of the con with no one knowing who I was, and the observations I made at parties all weekend are things I will remember when making choices. Overall- creators who are kind, and genuine with everyone they meet get more opportunities than those that don’t.
As a Rioter who for the first time ever posted on my "Riot" account this pride about who I am, I'm embarrassed.
To the community- please be kind to those who have "Riot" in their tag. For the most part, we don't know about these things until you do. And we are processing too.
Ok, I'm getting asked a lot of questions about the meme, so here is a thread.
is this me? Yes.
Am I aware that this is meme? VERY much.
How tall am I? I'm 6'0" but in this photo I'm wearing about 4" heels.
At an event like Twitchcon- EVERYONE there is in the community. Acting rude or entitled because of your new fame will get around. Treating others badly because of their badge is noticed. And “pleb” badges are often the managers at large companies.
@GrimsbyVT
I am neither of those people, but I guarantee I would have been subjected to multiple pelvic exams because some parents wouldn’t have believed I was cis. As early as 8 years old. That’s horrifying.
Again I ask- is the next step height leagues for basketball?
@GrimsbyVT
The argument of “preventing males from competing with females” is that they have such a physical advantage that it’s not fair. I’m pointing out that I, a cis woman, had that same level of advantage growing up. The outrage about trans athletes is transphobia disguised as concern.
As the admin on this contest- It’s hard to capture the details on broadcast. Judges interviewed each creator, after reading over their build books.(that averaged 25 pages long. EACH). This was not an easy contest. To think that boobs had any decision in this is rude and ignorant.
Riot = Rioters
BUT ALSO
Riot 🚫Rioters
It always hurt when I read "Riot Doesn't care" when every Rioter I ever spoke to cares SO MUCH. But I also read "Rioters care so much!" Riot is made up of Rioters.
Does this make any sense?
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
@KhasinoTTV
“Just painting pictures” is minimizing this. If they are going out and painting a consenting model, or got permission to draw a specific person in a sexual manor is fine. Drawing made up people is fine. Drawing art of real humans, who did not consent to it should be a crime.
@o0CyberFreak0o
those are not real humans. I'm talking about drawing a celebrity having sex with another celebrity for your own personal gain w/o their consent.
I’ve reached my limit of being a verbal punching bag for things I have no actual power to change/on behalf of others.
I know things are frustrating. Big company can do more. I’m just as angry. I also expect to be treated with respect.
Today NA servers hit about 90% max capacity. As a result, we expect login queues and extended queue times. While we rush to scale up server capacity, we've whitelisted all League Partners and pro-player accounts, allowing these players to bypass queues. (1/3)
It took forever. It was slow and painful, but we did it. The textures for the Warriors asset pack have been added. Be warned- they are big big boy files. But go forth!

#ArtofLegends
I get judged a lot for posting “vain” or “girly” things like selfies or the outfits I wear. I’ve been told it makes me unprofessional, or that people don’t take me as seriously because I share my life online.
I have worked at riot games almost 7 years.

League Streamers- How is in game player behavior affecting your ability to stream? How does it affect your mental? Talking everything including griefing, inting, afking, forcing dodges- not just your "bad chat logs." (But those also!)
I'm trying to collect some numbers...
I’m back online today, doing much better. Just to clear the air:
1) thank you for the kind messages, dms. i didn’t expect the post to get that many eyes ❤️
2) riot internally has been checking in/supporting/protecting me. i wont go into specifics but they take it seriously 🧵
I try to be accessible on the internet to everyone, but this is too much. sending me dm's with death threats/ hopes that I miscarry my baby over a lol cinematic and the lcs time is too far. i get passion, i get frustration. i get wanting to have your voice heard. i don't get this

Vent. 🧵TW: medical stuff
About a month ago: I miscarried twins at 9 weeks. I haven’t fully “passed” them, due to meds not working. I have surgery on Thursday.
Today I tested positive for Covid. I’m very sick and high risk for infection if the “pregnancy” tissue isn’t removed
