Once upon a time, Riley Gaines was a college student. Now, college students are triggered by the very mention of her name on campus.
One would think, Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer who spoke out against wannabe woman, Lia Thomas, is like a member of Hamas-a terrorist-or something. Just kidding. The college crowd actually digs Hamas and finds Riley Gaines to be more objectionable than those gay-hating misogynists across the world. Yep, they are THAT brain dead. Not only are there temper tantrums from those who say, on repeat, “trans women are women” to refute any logical questioning that may arise from an apprearance from Ms. Gaines. An event featuring Riley Gaines herself is now “violating community standards” on Eventbrite.
Gaines is scheduled to speak at UC Davis in early November as part of the Speak Louder Campus Tour, sponsored by The Leadership Institute. Information about the “Protecting Women’s Sports with Riley Gaines” event was listed on event management and ticketing website Eventbrite-
-until it wasn’t.
Why was this event removed from Eventbrite? Because “it violates our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, with which all users agree to comply,” they said. What events did Eventbrite keep up on their site? For one, a group called Tempest NYC sponsoring an event called, “Stop the Genocide! Free Palestine!” The event came with the following description:
Early on Saturday, October 7th, Palestinian resistance fighters broke through Israel’s siege of Gaza. In response, Israel has declared total war against the people of Gaza, completely cutting off access to food, water, and electricity, while bombing the Strip and killing entire families. This attack on Gaza takes place after 75 years of settler-colonial violence conducted by the Israeli state.”-Tempest NYC
Ummm, let’s rewind back to October 7th, shall we? What happened before Israel declared total war against Gaza and completely cut off access to food, water and electricity?
Community standards, my Jersey a$$. What are Eventbrite’s “Community Standards”, anyway? Take a gander:
Eventbrite is a place where anyone can create or find live experiences that fuel their passions. As a platform that values diverse opinions and a vibrant community, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful platform for the organization and discovery of live events.
We encourage you to create events of all kinds that bring your community together – whether you’re interested in wine, email marketing, dance, or coding. We ask that your content celebrates different cultures, countries, and voices, and is your own or procured appropriately.”-Eventbrite
Find a live experience that fuels passion, that celebrates different cultures and provides a safe, inclusive and respectful platform, eh? Is that what Tempest NYC was doing there? Celebrating Palestinian culture without adding in the uncomfortable truth about Hamas atrocities?
It’s sad to think that speaking truth is somehow wrong but celebrating terrorists is right. So backwards

And, here we are.
Nevertheless, some guy has his jock strap in a knot (careful, content NSFW):
I am the Co-Founder and Chairman of Eventbrite and to accuse Eventbrite of being Pro-Hamas is egregious and moronic. How could you make an unsubstantiated slander that I support these genocidal maniacs? Please go fuck yourself! (The last comment represents the individual…

So professional, Kevin. Do you speak to all of your female colleagues this way, you stupid douchebag?
Riley Gaines sounded off on this as well:
Noticed co-founder of Eventbrite @kevinhartz defended himself when accused of being pro-terrorism but not when accused of being anti-woman.

Eventbrite is the epitome of organizations taking a stand against women and our basic human rights.
If being pro-woman in woman’s sports is deemed anti-trans, then being pro-trans in woman’s sports is inherently anti-woman. And that is the stand Eventbrite has taken. The event at UC DAVIS is still going to take place next month. My speech will not be stifled.”-Riley Gaines
Can we get an AMEN in the house? We’re sure the geniuses will be out there at UC Davis shouting “trans women ARE women” on repeat and senselessly.
This is not the first time Eventbrite pulled their “Community Standards” out of their a$$es. The ticketing website removed a Matt Walsh event on transgenderism sponsored by Young America’s Foundation at Stanford University. They have also canceled ticketing for Walsh’s appearance at UC Berkeley and took down individual pages advertising screenings of Walsh’s documentary, What Is A Woman? Some of these events disappeared for an “unknown justification”, while others were cited by “a policy that forbids hate and harassment”.
“Let Women Speak“? Well, that sounds hateful. Eventbrite shut that one down, too.
And, we circle back to Riley Gaines. Apparently, her standing up for other young women in sports is a brand of “hate speech” now and violates the “community standards” of Eventbrite. The irony in this? A “Celebrating Lia (AHEM-Will) Thomas event was not taken down by the ticketing platform. In fact, it sold out.
We ask that your content celebrates different cultures, countries, and voices, and is your own or procured appropriately.
Riley Gaines’ content celebrates a culture of women-a lost culture of true, biological women and their voices here in America. If that violates community standards but a nasty-looking she-male in a dress who cheated his way to a championship doesn’t, Kevin and his Eventbrite staff need their heads examined. And, the American people need not to look to Eventbrite to purchase tickets to events. Not that Eventbrite would feature anything that might interest us, anyway, since we’re all a bunch of hateful, backwoods bigots without a higher-level of education.

Sad to say, but I don’t think even UFC could rescue that brand.

“Slander”? How about you back that claim up in a court of law? Let’s see you go on the record proving that you actually do not support Hamas or dislike women. It’ll be fun to watch.

Haven’t they been pushing women into men’s sports for years now?
I have only a certain amount of outrage to give, and the whole men competing as women thing just seems like the hand of karma reaching down and forcing the same people who created this problem to live with it.
Must wonder: Where are all the feminists? Riley should have tons of backers, but where are they. In my book Riley Gaines is a genuine American hero !!
Feminists are too busy putting their sons in dresses and demanding trans story time at school.
