If this is commonplace in America workplace, then you truely are an odd country.

This statement seems odd in this context. While Riot may be headquartered in the US, all of the events in the article took place in Ireland.

It would indeed be very nice to assume this is somehow unique to the US. Europe has many countries that are notorious for their machismo, or their adherence to religious beliefs that are condescending towards women. I would say Scandinavian attitude is more likely to be unique in the world than vice versa.
You’re right, I should’ve said Ireland, or maybe “in game development” as these kind of stories often seem to originate from there.
