This kid was 14, who the hell asks kids that age this kind of question? And Why?

To find out if he'd been properly indoctrinated. For this class of louts the goodies only go to One Of Us.

…disqualified for "violating their inclusive policy," as he had made someone feel "unsafe and uncomfortable."

I want to see these pussies apply the “unsafe and uncomfortable” rule to poker.

Or the NFL.

Fascist thought police. look what happens when one of these sick bastards get just a little bit of power. The more power they get the worse it will be. They would put a bounty on Christians if they could.

If someone wants to pretend they are “non-binary”, that is their problem. No one else has to agree. It is the whole woke “gender is fluid” ideology that is “threatening” and which threatens EVERYONE else who disagrees with it. They are the “gender” Nazis.

In the liberal pantheon of victims, Vietnamese don't count. They are too smart and too successful without any help from socialists and liberals.

So the participant was also upset and uncomfortable. Why didn’t the other guy get tossed out, too?

"the disqualification meant he had to leave the venue. This was an issue, Tran says, as his parents were not with him and his guardians were in the tournament. Tran adds that he also had no service in which to contact anyone by phone, and also did not have a key to his hotel room"

Shouldn't this organization be held responsible for kicking a minor out?

Yes and I hope others bow out of these Pokémon tournaments. Turnabout is fair play. Boycott Pokémon!

It’s in the rule book says the article. I want to know who wrote the rule book. The Pokémon Company or the promoter Overload-Events.

Who the hell puts this in a rule book for any kind of tournament?

"he was disqualified for "violating their inclusive policy"

Meaning he was excluded.

If it wasn’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.

Meanwhile a bakery can be shut down for not producing a gay-themed wedding cake.
