ESPORTS AND GAMING has always fought against discrimination and harassment, yet despite the efforts from various figureheads and organizations, there have been instances when the community would tarnish the scene.

"Received an alarming message with an AI-generated image that looks like a nude photo of me and even had the nerve to put my socmed handle—HINDI PO ITO TOTOO! The original, unaltered photo is on the left," she emphasized.
Through the comments section, Chantelle narrated how she ended up learning about these photos. Based on her conversation with former AP.Bren head Jab Escutin, the identity of the AI-generated leaker remains a mystery.
"Nagsi-circulate lang siya na photo now Boss Jab huhu IDK where but yung nag-message kino-confirm sa akin if real ba na ako ‘yan. So no idea kung saan siya nanggaling talaga."
And because of this incident, Chantelle, who has fought for the rights of women and LGBTQ+ members in the esports and gaming scene, has reminded the community to be mindful of their actions because harassment is never acceptable.
"Respetuhin niyo naman kaming mga babae sa esports. Every gamer, regardless of gender, should be able to enjoy and thrive in the esports scene without facing discrimination or harassment."
