Lord of the Shadow Realm

We believe @G2esports G2 Esports has made a grave mistake in terminating its relationship with Perkz over his publicly expressed personal convictions. “Diversity” must include diversity of thought, belief, and opinion. You do not have to share someone’s religious, political, or moral convictions to respect their right to hold them. The true measure of tolerance is how we treat people with whom we disagree. G2 had an opportunity to demonstrate mature, principled leadership by acknowledging those differences without demanding ideological conformity. Instead, it chose exclusion while invoking the very principles of diversity and inclusion that should encourage mutual respect. An organization that cannot tolerate disagreement within its own ranks is not demonstrating strength, progress, or inclusivity. It is demonstrating an inability to navigate differences with maturity and professionalism. Tolerance that extends only to those who agree with you is not tolerance. It is conformity masquerading as virtue. We believe G2 should expect better of its leadership, its organization, and the values it claims to represent. Weak, pathetic behavior by G2.
