We stand by Perkz. #neverforget #freeperkz

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

I do not support threats or harassment. I am simply calling out hypocrisy and double standards. I believe in freedom of opinion and freedom of speech, even when those opinions are uncomfortable, unpopular, or contrary to our own beliefs.

G2 could’ve made a business decision and own it. Instead, they framed Perkz’ firing as a moral crusade, hiding behind their precious “values”. The result? Laure and Sjokz became targets of abuse. Corporate cowardice at its finest. If it’s business, have the balls to call it that.

PR disaster??????

Wasn’t it heartbreaking when Perkz was labelled a Nazi, a Putin puppet and genocidal? And after standing up for his Catholic beliefs, he faced even more harassment. Where was all this concern for him? Where was the empathy? Or does it only count when it’s someone you agree with?

[Sol 🌙 @solxvt]

It's actually so heartbreaking to see Sjokz getting so much hatred for standing up for her beliefs.

She has always been such a positive beacon in the league community, and has done so much for lol esports.

She also is not the reason Perkz got fired. Perkz got himself fired.

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

One of the very few people in the esports scene who consistently shows integrity and isn’t afraid to speak up when it matters. Much respect. We need more people like him in the scene.

You can’t have it both ways, esports.

You either are paid by the Saudi government to ignore women’s rights or you can be a legitimate proponent for those same rights.

People are tired of the two-faced bullshit.

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

@MonteCristo Well said. You cannot claim to stand for women’s rights only when it’s convenient. Principles mean nothing if they’re abandoned the moment money and sponsorships enter the picture. People are right to demand consistency and call out the hypocrisy.

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

Looking at the comment sections under G2’s posts, things clearly aren’t going well. Ignoring the issue and hoping it goes away won’t help. I don’t know which PR firm they’re using, but whoever is advising them needs to rethink their strategy.

Romain retweeted Laure’s tweet right after retweeing G2’s announcement, publicly associating her with the decision to fire Perkz and directing his audience towards her. He put a target on her back. He made the connection, so it's not surprising people drew their conclusions.

[karina 🍂 @basedhutao]

sjokz and laure are being targetted because they are women. men like asmongold and his cockroaches never come for the men who spoke against perkz too, they come for the women. because how DARE they champion women’s right to their bodies. how dare women speak and have liberation.

@TiredBambooLaw This post summarises the account’s purpose quite well.

This is exactly the hypocrisy I’m talking about. Apparently, inclusivity and safe spaces only extend to people whose opinions align with yours. The moment someone disagrees, those principles suddenly become conditional. That’s not inclusivity. It’s ideological conformity.

[Team Vitality League @TeamVitalityLOL]

Our commitment to this scene extends far beyond the game itself. Creating and maintaining safe, inclusive and supportive online spaces is something we will continue to work towards and support.

Our support goes out to @sjokz ,@LaureBuliiV, and all women across the League of Legends community and the wider esports scene 💛

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

@benwolf8317 They publicly condemned his views and poured gasoline on an already burning fire, making the backlash inevitable. Now they’re being scapegoated as if they called for his firing, which is unfortunate and sad. Pretending they were innocent bystanders, however, is equally dishonest.

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

@Crown0121 Nobody had much to say when Perkz was being harassed, neither throughout his career nor during this offseason. But now that someone else is targeted, suddenly everyone discovers their principles and starts condemning harassment. The double standard couldn’t be more obvious.

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

@Hcnc189408 My entire point was that people selectively condemn harassment depending on who’s being targeted. Your response, baselessly accusing me of threats and telling me to kill myself, is a perfect demonstration of exactly that. You couldn’t have proved my point more clearly. Thank you!

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

I don’t support threats or harassment, regardless of who they’re directed at. But it’s genuinely funny how people suddenly discover their principles when it’s someone they sympathise with who’s being targeted.

[*aAa* @aAaGaming]

L'ensemble de la famille *aAa* condamne fermement le harcèlement subi sur les réseaux sociaux par @LaureBuliiV, @sjokz et @louhngle.

Les vagues de haine n'ont pas leur place dans l'esport, ni ailleurs.

❤️ Soutien absolu.

You cannot claim to defend free expression while celebrating the silencing of people whose views you disagree with. Freedom of speech only means something when it applies equally to everyone.

@mirailightesum @a5c3nd00000 @VeteranEMEA You silenced the opposing view and called that a win. The jokes really do write themselves.

[FreePerkz @WeStandByPerkz]

Where was all this outrage when Perkz was being harassed? Where were the statements, the solidarity and the condemnation?
Apparently, harassment is unacceptable only when it happens to some people. If you stand against harassment, stand against it consistently.
