Japanese female pro gamer fired after saying men under 5 feet 7 inches tall 'don't have human rights'

Kana “Tanukana” Tani, one of the most prominent female figures in esports fighting, had her contract with Cyclops Athletic Gaming terminated after she made controversial remarks. On Thursday, however, her livestream comments where she stated short men under 5 feet 7 inches did not have “human...

In an esports world dominated by male players, Tanukana stands out with her impressive records and placings on “Tekken.” On Thursday, however, her livestream comments where she stated short men under 5 feet 7 inches did not have “human rights,” adding that those who fall under in height should consider bone-lengthening surgery.

This resulted in her firing from Japanese esports company Cyclops Athletic Gaming, whose main sponsors are Red Bull and Alienware.

Tanukana is not new to controversy. In 2020, she reportedly told someone watching her stream to “kill themselves” and that they were “the trashiest trash of society,” according to Kotaku.

As Kotaku points out, the Japanese word for “human rights,” or “jinken” (人権), can take on a different meaning in the gaming world. There is discussion as to whether the gamer meant something altogether different in her livestream.

Since the incident, Tanukana gave a series of apologies, but many criticized her for a perceived lack of sincerity. In an archived tweet, she stated that she had merely “poorly expressed her love of tall people” in response to the criticism surrounding her comments about short men and human rights.

Cyclops Athletic Gaming released a statement saying that it had “decided to cut ties with Miss Tanukana,” as the company “does not believe in discrimination or insults.” Tanukana published several apologies expressing her regret over Twitter afterward. Since then, the stream recordings have been deleted.

The average height of a man in Japan is 5 feet 7 inches, according to a 2018 study.

High IQ I gave the correct answer without doing any research

 

[ifyouwannabemylover]

for the record, it seems like she said this in an observational type way (could be wrong tho)

"165cm is tiny. If you're not 170 centimeters, you don't have any human rights, to be honest. You should consider bone lengthening surgery. If you are 170, you will have human rights."

She also responded to the listener by saying, "There's no way a really small man has human rights, don't get carried away."

based tbh

 

[Reckless Turtle]

Well, she wasn't lying.

When was average ever enough for a foid

80/20 rule applies to everything

you need to be in 80th percentile of height in your country to be perceived as a human being by foids

in japan that's probably 5'11

 

[bladeenjoyer123]

why do women love to voice their disgust for short men? theyr already miserable enough

 

[Beetlejuice]

Jfl at foids

 

[Vermilioncore]

just fired? Bitch should be brutally ripped apart and have her heart cut out drug cartel style and face skinned off while she’s alive. Then inject toxic acid into her veins through an IV while a different IV is keeping her alive with drugs. Make her feel every ounce of pain then cut her head off and take a shit on her corpse and send a photo to her family

Not really. When you sign a contract for a sponsor, job, work etc. theres rules you have to follow and you sure as hell cannot bring bad publicity to the company and make them look bad.

u guys are taking it as an attack. she isnt attacking. stop being emotional. think logically, do guys below 5'7 really have human rights?

I was reading a Twitter thread on it and it was full of women brushing the comments off, saying they weren't bad, but then getting outraged when they found out she also made similarly disparaging comments towards gay people and black people. Women actually don't even view short men as real people. They don't care if they are bullied and humiliated based on something they can't change, but they will always display their outrage if the same is done to any other group of people. If someone publicly said 'Black people shouldn't have human rights', you will never have a women commenting 'omg, that's not that bad', but of course when the target is short men, there's no problem there.
