- He should have been upfront from the first second about why he is dodging - His relationship with his wife seems very unhealthy if she has a problem with him playing a "virtual" game with a girl/woman - He is a grown adult and it is just ridiculous to be whining, moaning and cursing the shit out of Tarik on a public forum.

Instead of getting mad at everyone and being so ambiguous as to why he was dodging and avoiding women, he shouldve came out as to why he was doing it to begin with. At the very least with his close friends so they can feel confident in backing you up.

He didn't want to talk about it because the only way to bring it up without throwing his wife under the bus would be to divulge personal intimate details about their relationship. Which he eventually had to resort to in his final statement/apology.

he lowkey was probably embarrassed, i assume that since the last time i avoided women like this was when i was in a toxic relationship back in middleschool/highschool and in my opinion i lowkey think people should just get their nose out of his business since its most likely just a relationship issue which is personal.

I can't help but feel like there's a huge mountain of "personal relationship stuff" we don't know about. In a healthy relationship, both parties should be secure enough with each other to not be threatened by their significant other being in the *mere presence* of the opposite sex. Something is definitely off or missing. I guess it's his right to keep his personal relationship details private, but he shouldn't expect to not receive any fallout for excluding women.

W streamer but not a W friend, I don't think Tarik knew the whole story about J and his wife. I mean I sorta know how it feels to fk up a long time ago and to make a promise to myself never to fk up again by completely removing what I messed up on. I don't think it's anyone's business to dive into his own, I personally don't see why him dodging girls or muting them affects them if it doesn't even affect their rank status or game.

No matter what the reason is, it looks bad. If it's that he wants to respect his wife, that ultimately means that he has done things in the relationship to make her not trust him or feel secure in the relationship. If he's dodging because he just doesn't respect women, which is the vibe I get considering he used "girl" as an insult and unironically uses language like bitches and hoes, it's arguably even worse. Either way, no place for someone like this in this space and it's a shame that nothing will end up happening. People like that don't deserve a platform or the luxury of having the job they do.

[@Animelord98]

This is a very well written piece. One thing that was not given enough attention in my opinion, is JasonR's use of language when referring to females and even him calling tarik " a girl about it " is inherently misogynistic. Him gaslighting tarik, and feeling entitled to unquestionable support from someone he doesn't even know like that makes me very uncomfortable as well. This is more about JasonR's character than him dodging queues for his wife. We can all respect his own personal life, although he should have been treating all gamers fairly i.e. not dodging queues. But the underlying issues here are even more important. There will be people writing off that jasonr is just like that or he was joking when using the terms he did to address women but there was nothing funny about his situation. He should have known better.

I can understand the perspe-ctive of it looking sexist but I can also understand the perspective of him not wanting to be shipped with every single female he plays with. The real problem with this in my opinion was his response because he kind of seemed like he was in shock at the time(which is understandable if he felt like people who had no problem with him beforehand were turning on him) and this seemingly led to him not giving a very good response. In all reality though, I think that if you gave ninja a pass, It’s only fair to give this guy a pass too.

'Being a girl about it' is a well known phrase desribing someone often whining about something- it is a stereotype where some women whine A LOT. Also there's no harm in looking and liking other girls on twitter, it's natural to do that. Everyone can find someone else attractive and like them, but 'to love' is a different story. You guys are all young, you should be taking this as a lesson so you don't repeat them in the future not as a chance to harrass someone. Tarik wouldn't want you guys harrassing him either, he's probably also embarrased with the immaturity of his own audience. It's your constant harrassment that has altered his behaviour. Right now all he needs is someone to stand beside him and comfort him. You don't have to show him some support, all you need to do is stop commenting nonsence everywhere. Verbally bullying an individual wont help in shaping him into a better person, instead it makes YOU more evil. Take action and be a better person, a year from now, you would have wished you started today.
