By announcing her position at talent management firm RTS, Twitch streamer Imane Pokimane Anys has inadvertently revealed that she co-owns Evo (Evolution Championship Series), the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.

Enjoying EVO?
We should thank her.

Yesterday (October 27), Pokimane announced that she is the co-founder and chief creative officer of RTS, a talent management and brand consulting firm that aims to fix the gaming and esports industry.

That can't mean anything good.

Keep in mind, the former CEO resigned in disgrace after multiple sexual assault allegations. There's also been a storied history of rape, domestic abuse and child molestation in esports in general, with a lot of that coming from the Smash Bros community. Dudes have committed to partaking in gang rapes on stream before.

I don't know much about Pokimane, but considering that the last guy was an alleged rapist in a gaming scene where there's a lot of people who've been arrested and charged with rape, I feel like "fixing the gaming and esports industry" isn't entirely an unwarranted position to take. And there's not much lower than she could sink to that the CEO position hasn't already sunk to in the past.

I mean decry the event for selling out and going "woke" like GDQ or whatever the fuck the reaction is going to be, but if she's in a position to create hard boundaries and tackle shit like that, let her.

Thing is this is a blatant overuse of the term when I only criticized the bizarre statement of "fixing" competitive gaming, instead of the fact that one of the co-owners is a woman. If that's the kind of nonsense that's coming then I was right to call it out.

Is that the same guy who literally freaked out about Japan EVO showing girls in bikinis on stream and pulled the plug on it before going on some massive moral high ground rant about scantily-clad women on twitter? That dude was fucking nuts.

It really does show that the real creeps are the ones who beat their chest the loudest about puritan moral high ground over the most negligible shit >_>

Even if that was, it's still a weird thing to say because competitive and esports gaming has been consistently toxic for a long time. So wanting to "fix it" isn't entirely unwarranted.

If you want to fix most of the issues with the FGC you cut out the Smash community. Seriously.

I feel bad for the innocent ones, but if you say you're a pro Smash player these days, you get unsavory looks and jokes thrown your way. The community got seriously tainted.
