Is there a clip of this? This sounds like something streaming culture would say as a joke. It's almost too ridiculous to take seriously lol.

What? Lmao for something that was likely a joke?Pro Gamer Fired After Saying Men Under 5 ft 7 in 'Don't Have Human Rights' [Update]

Seems to me they were looking for a reason to drop her.
Should probably mention the double meaning of human rights in the fighting game community, where 人権 (human rights, jinken) is used to talk about tools and abilities that are essential for characters to be competitive. She was probably trying to make a bad joke about that, but fucked it up.

I mean it's obvious she was joking come on...maybe it's not in good taste, but clearly she wasn't ACTUALLY thinking that.

I just feel sorry for all those men who looked up to her.
That's a wild thing to say lmao
As a not tall dude but also not below her human rights limit, it is a bit excessive getting fired over this if she was saying in a joking manner, but the quote above makes it seem like she wasn't 🤔

Probably why they dropped her. "Attacking" the primary source of revenue for FGs. Some people probably got very hurt at this joke and complained.

Clear shitposting. She'll get picked up somewhere. She's really good.
6'1 overlord checking in.
Seriously, though, dumb thing to say but surely she was being facetious? I probably wouldn't remove her for that, but it's not my team. And I can understand why anyone in the FGC wants to avoid controversy like the plague.
edit: garbage human confirmation? Carry on.

That's a totally different scenario that people would, appropriately, have a totally different response to. What a weird comparison.
Update
Sounds like a joke about her preferences considering the human rights part.
I think making these jokes between friends is fine, but doing it publicly will cause insecure people to become outraged and not everybody will detect that its a joke even if its executed well(which i doubt it was).
If however, this is close to her actual view then yeah, yikes.

10/10 post haha
She does sound like a scumbag. No need to give these lot a platform.
Not that weird at all. It is really common on dating apps for women to state in their profiles they are not interested in men below 6 feet.

Yikes, if this is true then I can understand why this seemingly harmless joke was the last straw.

It's a joke in a bad taste and imo stuff like that should be punishable in general. But I'm also pretty certain men wouldn't face such consequences for comparable remarks about women.
This... is a pretty awful thing to say, I'm confused at the people taking it lightly in this thread.
I mean, there's a big difference between "I'm not interested in short men" and "short men don't deserve human rights".
Yeah that quote and her history makes it clear this wasn't a joke.
I don't see any differences. Or women won't be judge for their words or something?
I was a 169cm "guy" before gender transition so????????
Anyway I KNOW it's gotta be more about just height discrimination lol

Absolutely fascinating that Era was adament about jumping to her defense immediately. I'm trying to figure out why.
