Now in full size
![Hello, guys. I was an aspiring female indie dev, and l'm posting on a throwaway for reasons that I'll detail below Ever since l was a child, video games have been one of my favorite forms of escapism. I have Asperger's Syndrome and clinical depression, and I was heavily bullied as a child. Games were my escape from the insanity that I dealt with in my day-to-day life. I fell in love with the stories, the characters, and the interactivity present in many games of many genres. They helped me cope with a not-so-good childhood and the hard times I had at school. I found my passion for designing games quite early in life, I created a choose-your-own-adventure game when I was only 11, and as poorly drawn and short as it was, it was playable and people enjoyed it. Never in my life as a passionate gamer have I ever been offended by sexualized characters, violence, or crude humor in games. I was never harassed for being a female gamer, guys though it was cool. I never needed a character to look like me in order to identify with them and appreciate their stories. I've identified and bonded with characters of all genders, ages, and races. I never bought into the SJW rhetoric that I should feel bad for enjoying all kinds of games Enter the #Gamergate situation, which I have been following closely from the start. I've known for quite some time that there were plenty of other women like myself who were sick of gaming journalism and this idiotic moral panic regarding gender/sexuality in video games. Yet, despite one of the people spouting this rhetoric now using "Believe Women" as her motto of sorts, she wishes to drown out the voices of women who disagree with her, women like me How many times on major news sites have we seen that the main driving force behind GamerGate is "white male misogynist trolls"? How many PoC and women like me have been posting in #NotYourShield, desperately trying to have our voices heard by the media, yet they deliberately ignore us and drown us out? I have never seen so many news outlets flat-out lie about a story as they have with Gamergate. They took a story, and deliberately took out parts twisted the meaning, and took doctored information (the IRC logs) as fact. I think the public attack on (rational) feminist Christina Hoff Sommers was the last straw for me. Between every girl on #NYS being accused of sockpuppetry and misogyny long after providing valid proof that they are who they claim to be, and the attack on a woman who marched on for women's rights before more SJWs were born, I've realized a fact that I ca or SJWs do not care if you are a woman or PoC if you go against their narrative. Their agenda. They don't see us as people, they see us as tools. Anita does not care about women like me. Chelsea van Valkenburg ("Zoe Quinn") does not care about women like me. They HATE women like me. If I made a game with a sexualized protagonist or it had some crude/politically incorrect humor in it, I risk my name and face being thrown around the internet on all of these anti-GG sites, open for ridicule and slander. Being a fellow woman is not a valid excuse for them anymore, as they have had more and more women like me rise against them. After almost two decades of bullying, I could not handle that. My mental health would be in even more danger than it already is ng used as a tool. I am ed by news outlets like VICE, Polygon, Kotaku, and Cr CE) was. I am sick of major news outlets acked ust like Kc-vidya-rants (who was also female and was slandered by VI the e destroyed by infidelity, so seeing Chelsea get away wi ith her actions like the media memories for me. I'm not quite they aren't just misinformed, deep down they KNOW that they are lying about who Chelsea is and what #GamerGate tha sts and me outlets like that with my games and my ust like Sommers and some of m y anti-SJW dev friends, being female will not save me from doxxing, eputation.
