In what professional field can a industry person be awarded for their work, be broadcast around the globe in receiving the award (surrounded by industry leaders of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft), while that same person has publicly announced discrimination as a de facto part of their work - due to a seemingly prospect of "force majeure".
Artists, musicians, actors, entertainers, politicians; every occupation view-able in the public eye deals in matters ailing our awardee.
In these other fields, this subject haven't even surfaced. Is it due to professionalism? Adulthood? A conscious center of core ethical values? Or simply a non-factor?
It is, frankly, unseemly for an industry which already have a problematic image regarding diversity to be awarding people who actively discriminate in their work-field.
tl:dr (It should be noted that the biggest streamer "ninja" was awarded at a global event for being the best content creator; and that he possesses a discriminatory work ethic that wouldn't fly in any other industry, never the less being awarded) .
I find it deeply problematic. It's assuredly disturbing.
And I can't let it fly without resistance.

- "I don't play with female gamers".
- Well, here's an award!
