They have a dresscode and he didn't follow it. Whether it was an accident or whether you can even see his pants are irrelevant. He even says he doesn't care at this point so this is more about Carlsen being an entitled baby more than FIDE having a stupid rule.
I think entitled baby would be if he stomped his feet and clenched his fists and insisted he be allowed to wear whatever he wanted. Quitting the tournament is more like he truly DGAF. I would call that not giving a fuck.
Okay, good point. He didn't exactly complain, he just left. But when he said "it's a matter of principle", it comes off as him expecting special treatment. The organization was just trying to enforce their rule.
I think you're reading that into it. I don't see "It's a matter of principle" implying anything besides that staying would go against his principles. Oh well.
Rules will keep getting more stupid if everyone blindly follows them. Rules are written by humans, who make mistakes and change over time. Hopefully they consider changing the dress code, considering how society has evolved since it was written.
This is what someone who is inactive in the chess community would say. I don't blame you, but it's more than just, "We make the rules, so do as we say"
You’re right, it’s more to do with “we see ourselves as an elite club, and jeans make us look like the poors”.
