Reading the article gives more context; the player didn’t laugh dismissively or contemptuously, but nervously bc he wasn’t expecting the question.
If it had been the former, sure, this decision would have been more warranted bc they want the tourney to be a safe place for everyone.
However, this is an overreaction that dismisses his humanity while nominally trying to protect others’. Not ok.
Yes, yes, yes. We used to see the same articles in the 80’s and 90’s about gay and bi people all the time. Somehow there is this terrible miscarriage of justice because some dumb queer was offended… Except basically none of them ever happened, and the few that have any basis in reality always omit the person acting like a total jerkoff.
This article reads exactly the same way. Lots of inflammatory language interspersed with tiny snippets of quotes so short and out of order that no timeline can be established by the reader. This article is so poorly written there is nothing that can be taken as true from it. Even on the tiny off chance the facts are presented 100% accurately, the article is written in such an intentionally biased manner that we can not accept anything in it true as presented because the author was completely unable to remove their bias from their work.
God damn, it’s so clear to 90% of the people that care abotu this shit that this kind of behavior just makes it so much more difficult to be accepted into normal society. Just fucking RELAX.

So many people seem to be very far up their own asses about tolerance, meanwhile, they’re the least tolerant people on the planet

**tldr:**
Inflammatory language
– strike one
Tiny quote snippets
– strike two
Intentionally obfuscating order of events
– strike three
Worthless article.

That’s not fair. Discrimination goes both ways.

Banned? For laughing? That’s absolutely ridiculous. Just because you care about something doesn’t mean I care about it.
