Title: Team Diversity Joins the Competitive Scene
Post by: cowlikenuts on July 03, 2021, 06:24:12 am
Introduction
This is team diversity coming at ya live from North America Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars.
We noticed that the top group fighting teams are made up of only cis gendered white males and very few minorities.
This has to change as the community for Napoleonic wars is much more diverse than that.
More diversity is needed within the top tier of melee teams and tournaments.
We can see this from the top 25 NA all stars league where only 5 of the members of the top 25 are people of color.*citation needed
This is where we come in.

Background

We all know that a more diverse team is a better team as there will be better skills and ideas exchanged due to the difference in cultural back ground.
So why isn't this happening?
That's because of the elitist white supremacist heteronormative model that is the modern Napoleonic Wars competitive scene.
Which is keeping down minorities and BIPOC away from the competitive scene with their bullying and harassment.
We will break the glass ceiling that is keeping BIPOC and LGBTQQIP2SAA players away from the top competitive teams.
Team diversity will show that diversity is the greatest asset ever in any team based game and that every team should invited more BIPOC and LGBTQQIP2SAA members into their ranks

Who we are
We are a up and coming group fighting team that has only one goal in mind, to be the most diverse group fighting team ever in the history of NW.
We don't judge based on race and sexuality.
We welcome all races and sexualities into our group fighting team. (no whites, BIPOC and LGBTQQIP2SAA only)
We Pride ourselves not on our wins but on how diverse our line up is.
We are here to prove that diversity is our greatest strength and that nothing will stand in the way of proving that.

Our motto
Diversity is our greatest strength

Want to join?
Applications into the team are open for members of the Napoleonic Wars community who are of black, indigenous, and other people of color backgrounds and are currently not accepting applicants who are of White/European background.
This is due to historical injustices caused by members who are from such backgrounds.
As members of the BIPOC community the right to claim safe spaces in the public realm where they can share stories about the discrimination they have faced without judgment and intrusion from anyone else. This is a process that only the BIPOC can express and experience. So at this current time we will not be accepting any applicants who are of the white European background. 
White applicants who wish to join the team can instead donate to our socials and support us as we take on the elitist white supremacist heteronormative social model which is damaging the Napoleonic Wars competitive scene.

Notice its only the cisgendered white males who are insulting the efforts of team diversity as they take on the system that unfairly benefits them at the cost of BIPOC.
Only when their privileges are being challenged to give every one a fair and equal chance. Knowing they are abusing the system and gaining unfair margins they would come out and attack those who wish to gain equality for every one regardless of race gender and sexuality.
I invite all of you to read White fragility by Robin Diangelo and White Rage by Carol Anderson.
the first step to understanding privilege is to see that invisible barrier that may not be caused by you are still affecting many BIPOC today.
Understand privilege and use it to be a ally.
The white backlash to ethnic groups advancement is horrid in NW and the first step is to accept that you are abusing a system that only benefits you.
Learn to be an ally and start working towards a better future for all of humanity.
