I've really debated speaking out about @coopatastic because I have this intense anxiety about being marked as a girl that "causes drama", but I want to share my piece on why I don't think this is an isolated incident for him nor will it be the last time that he behaves this way due to the lack of discipline from @FlyQuest. I've been competing in esports since 2017. I've been denied trials because of my gender, hit with every sexist remark, made fun of for my voice, and still despite it all, I compete. A few months ago, @Delenaafps posted a (now deleted) tier list ranking a bunch of different Marvel Rivals players from S to D tier. I forget what I was ranked to be honest, and didn't really pay it much mind until I received a DM from someone showing me that @coopatastic had said something along the lines of (since it's now deleted) "you have me below aramori?? are we serious right now??" At this point I didn't really keep stock of anyone in the scene, I'm particularly bad with names, and I usually don't pay any attention to who I'm playing versus unless they're old teammates of mine (I’ve said this in an interview with Shroud). I did NOT know who he was, only that he was a fellow peer in the competitive scene. my heart dropped when i saw his reply Why was he comparing himself to me when all of my teammates and every other strategist in the scene was also on the list? Why was he not mad that he was below Harvey or Karova, but instead, mad that he was lower than me? The answer left a bad taste in my mouth. Despite not really knowing me, never having played on a team with me, or even talked to me- he had a preconceived notion that I was "bad" or "less than" all of our peers. I responded (screenshot below) "what u say fuck me for" trying to make light of an extremely awkward situation. He responded (screenshot) "woah why are we assuming ily 💖 #MeToo" Me too? The movement where victims of sexual assault gathered an immense amount of courage to come forward and speak about their abusers? I’ve never posted about my own SA stories but why would he feel that its EVER okay to make a dig at someone for something as sinister as sexual assault. And why ME of all people? Because I'm a girl? LOL Me continued to spam #MeToo to me whenever we were in a scrim lobby together and i just never responded. What do you say to someone who makes light of SA? When I saw @AshlynnFPS's video, it didn't surprise me. I was so angry at the hate she received for her voice and him calling her "a fake one too". He had been extremely weird to me in the past but this solidified my feelings, that he was going to continue to behave inappropriately towards women in the scene, treating us as an "other" and insinuating that we are worse or less than because of our gender. All I want for the Marvel Rivals esports scene is for it to be inclusive. I want to be competing side by side with other women. This will NOT happen if we let incidents like this fester with no consequences. I know he is young and I want him to learn from his mistakes, but he needs to understand just how serious this is and how much it affects ALL the women in the scene, not just me and @AshlynnFPS. I'm not getting kicked, by the way.
