LoL esports team suspends player for saying women can't compete while menstruating
League of Legends esports player Bwipo has been suspended by his team FlyQuest after making sexist comments about women competing during their menstrual cycles. Bwipo claimed that women should not play competitive games while menstruating, citing their "anatomy" and "monthly cycles" as reasons. This sparked backlash from esports personality Eefje "sjokz" Depoorter, who criticized Bwipo's views and highlighted the achievements of women in various fields while menstruating. FlyQuest condemned Bwipo's comments as "sexist" and "antithetical" to their values, suspending him from the upcoming LTA playoff series and donating his prize money to support women in gaming. Bwipo later apologized, acknowledging his comments were "ignorant and disrespectful" and vowing to reflect, listen, and do better.
