Women are going to have to stand up in droves to stop this nonsense, that's what it's going to take. They won't listen to straight white men, we're "the bad guys." Most women are too accommodating though, as is the nature of their sex, and they'd rather go along with little Timmy than tell him to fuck off back to his parent's basement. Wake up women, we need you to fix this shit.

Difficulty: There's no women playing high-level competitive video games so troons will dominate that arena

Unfortunately, the snarts were able to exploit how women have lost their x-factor here.

The only way women could fix this is a good old fashioned Lysistrata-style sex strike where they refuse to sleep with men until this fixes it.

Unfortunately, it's also a catch-22: The incels won't care about a sex strike (it'll be "You wouldn't sleep with me before this and you won't sleep with me after this, so how are you going to threaten me with my life already? Truth be told, I'm HAPPY Chad will have to live like I live for a while!"), the snarts already "became women" so a sex strike won't stop them ("oh, I'm a woman because I have he/they in my pronouns, so it's lesbian sex if you have sex with me, so it's safe under this sex strike!")...and because all of the problems in life can boil down to "people still believe they're in high school", they wouldn't dare risk sleeping with an ugly loser by doing the Sailor Moon-Pop Tarts style "Positive Strike" to counter the incels' claim ("...fine. If you help us with these assholes and help shut them down, I promise I will deflower you. I'll put it in writing, if I refuse you can claim I raped you, whatever you need, but help us against them and you'll have sex once in your life.")

Sex strikes are just retarded. If my GF decided to go on one due due to some political stuff I'd just dump her and find someone else who wasn't an idiot.

It's like the stupid abortion sex strike. The conservatives don't want us to have sex so we won't have sex until we can have sex. Lol ok you sure showed them.

On the first side, that's the point of strikes as a whole- by the logic there, regular strikes would be the same because a Jeff Bezos would say "if my employee decided to go on a strike for their...poors...concern like how I made them work 24/7 for a penny a day, no safety benefit, and force them to sell their children into slavery to the company to join them, I'd just fire them and find some other peasant who won't get so uppity and think it's people". The answer: Any strike where people don't all agree to work for the same goal will fail because the people in charge will just find someone who isn't willing to strike. [See also: Why strikes have been truly broken by the pandemic showing that "if everyone in the country agreed to a general strike until their demand was met, then any corporation or government would be helpless against them and cave within a couple days...but there's enough people on each side of the coin who'd be happier seeing their opposing political party miserable than getting their own happiness.]

And even if sex strikes are bad, that's why going with the other "reverse boycott" mentioned was there, where instead of boycotting a product because they support something you dislike (and knowing 50% of the population will rally behind it), you pick a certain day to use the product or buy it en masse, then show them "our side has this much purchasing power. You take their side, you'll lose out on our buying power. Don't you want to take our side now?" (using the example said: Sailor Moon was not doing well in its first season in syndication and it was at risk of being cancelled, but was popular with a cult following. That fanbase finally looked at each of the sponsors who'd advertise on the show, picked out Pop-Tarts for an example, and made a measured plan so that all of the fans would buy a shitload of Pop-Tarts on one specific day...then, once they did, they went to Kellogg's and said "you may have noticed this huge spike in sales on [x] day. That was us. We bought them because you advertise on this TV show. You just saw the buying power we have...now in exchange, keep advertising for this show and we'll keep buying your product." It worked, and the show survived until Cartoon Network picked it up and it exploded in popularity.)

In this case the type of people who care about Rocket League at the commonwealth games enough to watch it and effect advertisment revenue are likely to be terminally online and probably walk lockstep with the internets mainstream embracement of all things queer.
