Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Philippines has launched "Tear It Off - Everyone Is Awesome" campaign to address biases within gaming and defy stereotypes commonly experienced by Filipino gamers. The campaign by international gaming developer MOONTON Games aims to kickstart a movement to rip off common offensive labels often associated with female gamers, including "fake, weak, or being good at playing support roles." It also addresses the preconceived notions surrounding LGBTQ+ players who face discrimination - whether in-game or in person.
