The remarks of the players who gathered criticism

Tanukana belongs to the professional e-sports team “CYCLOPS athlete gaming” operated by the company. He is also sponsored by Red Bull and others, and plays mainly fighting games.

On the 15th, the live distribution platform “mildom” was used to distribute content such as answering fans’ questions while making sweets.

The statement in question popped out in retrospect of his own experience. Tanukana reveals that a young male deliveryman once asked for contact information when using UberEats at his home.

He said that he was having trouble responding because he was aware of his home, saying that he was only afraid, but he also said that he might have given his contact information if he was tall and mushy. The deliveryman was about 165 centimeters tall. Moreover,

“165 (centimeters, the same below) is tiny. It’s no good. If you don’t have 170, you honestly don’t have human rights. If you don’t have 170 centimeters, please live while thinking” I don’t have human rights. ” Consider bone extension surgery. Find out in “Bone Extension Surgery”. 170 Human rights will be born properly. “

I developed my theory.

In a comment from the viewer, “I don’t think a tiny man has human rights, you’re in a good mood. This is tiny for Chibi. But let me tell you, fat and bald. Because he is kind. “

In an interview article published in the past, Tanukana revealed that she had been victimized by misogyny and slander.

In response to criticism on the internet, Tanukana apologized as follows on the same night.

On the 16th, Broadmedia eSports released a document entitled “Inappropriate remarks being delivered by the players” on the official team website. About Tanukana’s remarks

I apologized. In addition, he said, “I take it seriously that it was a statement that lacked awareness and responsibility for my position as a professional player.”

I apologized again. He “will take strict measures” regarding the disposition of athletes, he said.
