Sjokz Tweets On Bwipo’s Sexist Comment: What Happened?
If you’ve been around the League of Legends community lately, you might have caught the recent stir caused by Sjokz’s tweets about Bwipo’s sexist comment. It’s one of those moments where gaming culture clashes head-on with real-world issues, and it’s worth unpacking slowly.
It all started when Bwipo made a comment implying that playing League while on your period affects your emotional state and performance — basically, suggesting women are too emotional to play competitively during that time.
Sjokz, a respected host and figure in the League esports scene, didn’t hold back. She tweeted, “Fk was just about to boot up a League game but realized I am on my period :/” — a simple yet powerful call-out.
From there, the conversation snowballed with her friends and followers joining in. Some joked about logging into a special account only for days “when you’re on your period,” while others, like Sjokz, highlighted how these kinds of remarks feed into dangerous stereotypes about women.
Why Sjokz’s Tweets Matter
Sjokz’s tweets aren’t just about a single sexist comment. They point out a broader issue: the way society and especially gaming culture often dismiss or mock women’s experiences, especially when it comes to natural biological processes like menstruation.
She called out the stereotype that “women are too emotional during their period,” which is used to justify exclusion or to assume lesser competence. That rhetoric, Sjokz argues, can have harmful consequences in and outside gaming.
“Women emotional when period so can’t play competitive games is such dangerous rhetoric in the bigger context god damn,” she wrote. It’s a reminder that jokes and offhand comments can add up and reinforce bias.
The Community’s Response
Her open comments sparked a mix of reactions — some supportive, others mocking. One friend, Laure, joked, “Don’t do it you’re too emotional 😫,” which showed how embedded this stereotype is, even when said lightly.
Another notable tweet was from Dom, who said, “It’s fine, if you listened to the entire clip then you would have heard that there is a solution. Just log onto an account that you only play on when you’re on your period.” While some saw humor in bringing it up, it highlighted how dismissive this mindset can be.
The Importance of Speaking Up
What’s refreshing about Sjokz’s reaction is that she didn’t just stop at tweets. She posted a TikTok discussing the issue to reach a wider audience. Talking about these things openly matters — especially from role models in the esports world.
Interestingly, Sjokz even joked about a fictional “client update” for women playing games on their period — a playful way to highlight how absurd it is to adjust someone’s gaming experience based on biology:
- Less LP loss upon losing a game and increased LP gain upon victory
- Basic attacks damage % increased based on which active day of period
- Reduced shop prices
- SR Music Bed now LoFi to quell emotions whilst playing
It’s funny, but it also makes you think about how ridiculous the stereotype is when you actually lay it out like that.
Why This Discussion Is Important for Gaming
Gaming, especially competitive esports, has historically skewed male-dominated. Women often face microaggressions, dismissive comments, or outright hostility.
Addressing sexist comments like Bwipo’s is essential because it pushes the community towards inclusivity. When top figures like Sjokz speak up, it signals that sexism isn’t okay — and that gamers can thrive regardless of gender or biology.
