Glitch is pissed off by Kotaku's article about women in Pro Esports.

Glitch @GlitchxCity Follow Articles like this piss me off, there's not much stopping a woman from going pro l've been speaking about topics like this for the past couple months and using articles like this as an example that try to push a false narrative to make it seem like the industry is the "bad guy" Kotaku @Kotaku What stops women from going pro in esports: bit.ly /2KZh85G 11:17 AM-16 May 2018 60 Retweets 316 Likes 13 60 316 Glitch @GlitchxCity Follow If anything, we have to work twice as hard if we want to go pro. Sometimes a lot of us don't even want to be in the pro scene because maybe it's not what we want. But one thing is that the bar should NEVER be lowered for us just to make things "easier" 11:19 AM-16 May 2018 7 Retweets 89 Likes Glitch @GlitchxCity Follow If you want to go pro, then you work your ass off for it. You practice, you scrim, participate in tournaments, vod reviews, seek advice, connect with your community, learn from losses, and learn from wins because that's EXACTLY the same thing that our male counterparts do 11:24 AM 16 May 2018 11 Retweets 85 Likes Glitch @GlitchxCity Follow Obviously we have a long way before this is truly an equal opportunity industry, and there's a lot of steps that we all have to take collectively in order to make that happen so we can stop seeing b------- like this spewed from misinformed people that don't believe in US 11:42 AM 16 May 2018 2 Retweets 57 Likes Glitch Follow GlitchxCity But I believe that it's possible and the steps that we need to take starts with us. I may be thinking too far ahead but we're the ones shaping this industry for the future generation (our younger siblings, our kids). Make it better for them than it was for us 11:47 AM-16 May 2018 2 Retweets 48 Likes

Sometimes I love when ads pass through adblock

Dont cry about spoilers

Kotaku @otaku Mario fans are way too sensitive about spoilers bit.ly/2ylwLMu TK Kotaku 3hrs . A very special "f--- you" to all the people who decided to spoil Star Wars in our Facebook comments this week. Readers, we've tried to ban as many of them as we could find. Unfortunately, it's been hard to avoid spoilers anywhere on the Internet this week--and it's really probably best to just see the movie ASAP since spoiler-deletion whack-a-mole is not an easily winnable game. At least no one has spoiled Episode VIll yet! Stephen
