Nathan Grayson about a minute ago more thoughts on having my facebook s--- leaked, largely to whomever leaked it (if purging my friends list didn't take care of them): facebook was the last online space where I felt safe opening up. this was a place where I felt surrounded by friends--largely because I curated the crap out of my friends list-and that was really nice. you, whoever you are, shattered that to have a context-free go at dragging my name through the mud. you sent a screen cap of a status that was absolutely me venting to a shitpile of a website (not gonna link it) in a deliberate attempt to make me look bad. that's gross. oh, and it's massively hypocritical. you sent it to a site that tries to smear games journalists for things like "discouraging debate" and doing their jobs poorly, yet you deliberately plucked out only the worst thing you could from me--a s----- moment instead of an indicative one. even your righteous little crusade doesn't hold up. there are no principles backing it, or at least not very strong ones. so all you've really done is make me feel s----- about trying to communicate with my friends. fantastic job. whoever you are, I'm ashamed that I ever friended you, and I hope you do some serious soul-searching before even pretending* you're trustworthy to anyone again. feel free to leak this too, even though I know you won't. this one won't help you deceive people to make me look bad, so why would you?

Karen Straughan on #GamerGate: Nobody has the power to make you stop playing video games. You have all the power in the world to stop buying video games if you think that your hobby, the thing that you do for enjoyment, not because you need to, to pay the bills, your hobby that you do in your spare time and that you put money into because you love it. You have every power to say to companies I'm not going to buy your product anymore because I feel it's preaching an ideology to me or because you are advertising your game through a corrupt website that has basically taken a giant crap over your consumer base. Now you guys, you're virtually untouchable. I mean if as long as you stick together you've got the collective power in this conflict. gamergate.community
