Wanted to say thank you for an amazing announcement day for the new ambassadors. Since then we’ve received over 50 new applications as well as interest from some big brands to support our mission. Because of all your support, we're being heard!

We've seen a lot of comments from people responding to our content saying things along the lines of, "that's just the game", "that's just 'toxicity'", "get over it it's part of the game". 🧵

So proud of you and everything you do to help everyone you meet!

Let’s be crystal clear. Transphobia has NO place in gaming or anywhere else. Denying someone's gender identity is just wrong. To those spewing hate and denying the humanity of trans women: Your bigotry will not be tolerated. Trans women are women, and they deserve respect,
We’re finalizing on the list of ambassadors this week, and will be reaching out to 5 of you. Vouch yourself or others below, and let us know why you believe you’d be a good fit! 💙

Also, bear with us since we are in the beta stages of the website with a small team, and updating all suggestions and bugs as we go!
Being able to jump on a game and comfortably say something like this is insane. Hopefully this guy was taken care of with how much this post went off.
So glad people are speaking up and exposing more and more of these idiots.

If you have to go as far as to make fun of someone for who they are as a person, throw racist remarks and slurs out there, you're not being toxic, you're being a bigot, a racist, and an awful person. 🧵

This is actually insane. Imagine being this butthurt about an online interaction. People like this deserve real life consequences.

The fact that they so confidently say stuff like this because they believe they’re anonymous. Thank you for unmuting and speaking up to them. Gross behavior
