I don't believe there's a quick fix, but it starts with us holding ourselves to a higher standard and treating everyone with dignity. We need to educate people in esports of proper conduct within the workplace." In a follow-up tweet he added: "I didn't expect this amount of support and it makes me feel hopeful for the change that we can make in this community. I'm incredibly thankful for all of you." I didn't expect this amount of support and it makes me feel hopeful for the change that we can make in this community.
