it is notable, just look on newegg, etc. they make ALOT of peripherals, as much as logitech, razer, etc. it needs to have alot less detail on the sponsorships, and a lot more on the company itself -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 04:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SteelSeries supports a harassment\griefer squad

Recently, a group called The Bully Hunters came out with a mission statement to harass and grief other online players if a woman complains to them she's being "harassed" online. (It reeks of social justice white knighting.) SteelSeries is sponsoring this griefer group to thought patrol and harass other online players if a woman's feelings are hurt online.

Their mission statement is based around biased\unsourced journal articles, not scientific reports, to say women get harassment every day. (They link the same Guardian article at least 3 times.) https://bullyhunters.org/

Radical Left-wing gaming site Polygon praises BullyHunters as an attack against "online harassers". https://www.polygon.com/2018/4/12/17229976/counter-strike-global-offensive-sexism-bully-hunters-valve

The numbers they pull out of their ass shows they're using a survey of less than 1,000 people from Twitter and Facebook to say "21 million women face online harassment every day". https://www.vg247.com/2012/09/08/study-80-of-gamers-believe-sexism-is-rampant-in-the-gaming-community/

Take it for what you will, but it needs to be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.120.86.200 (talk) 02:50, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the bullyhunters controversy was misrepresented, I have edited it to give it it's own subsection and cited their statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.70.215 (talk) 23:12, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It should definitely be here, at least linked, but it's not unique to SteelSeries as such, doesn't this whole debacle deserve its own article? It feels dodgy shoehorning it in here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.70.215 (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is, the Bully Hunters website doesn't exist anymore and there's no page for Bully Hunters itself on Wikipedia. It's a minor event, but this is something SteelSeries fully endorsed... At least until they pulled their sponsorship less than 24 hours later. There's more stuff for Bully Hunters with evidence like how the spokesperson for Bully Hunters was in Playboy and her nudes were deleted before the event ( https://archive.fo/EBlW8#selection-379.20-381.14 ), she called male gamers fa**ots on tweets and other livestreams ( https://twitter.com/StevenSuptic/status/522225093116583936?s=09 ), she's a b**bie streamer THOT ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wys67NBcCdc ), and their stream pushed Social Justice\Feminist propaganda like "toxic masculinity". (Thank you Kiwi Farms for the evidence. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/bully-hunters.41519/ ) Nobody should forget an event like this with such toxic and divisive people and that SteelSeries sponsored it. I know Wikipedia won't accept Bully Hunters since it's was internet drama that lasted all of 5 days, the Wikipedia admins are very pro-Feminist, and forum posts or YouTube videos don't count as proof under the guidelines, but at least here there is some record of it and how SteelSeries was involved in an event. (Censoring to get past the "unconstructive" filter.) 73.120.86.200 (talk) 07:22, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
