Be extremely suspicious of this person. Remember, GAMERGATE HAS NO LEADERS.

There have been multiple discussions about her on chan. I find it unsetteling that she seem to gain more and more momentum in media, but people like Campbell, Sommers, and Biscuit go unmentioned. I will paste all have found below TL;DR: I think that she is in for attention, and that she is not fit to represent GamerGate as a spokesperson. Kelly seems very fishy. She comes out of nowhere, no prior political past, places like Polygon and DailyDot give her coverage while avoiding talking about people like Campbell or Sommers. She also has articles about her on Mary Sue and Washington Post, which also wrote articles are against us, just like Polygon and Daily Dot did. In Washington Post's and Daily Dot's articles, and according to them she said that GamerGate needs a leader and she might be the one to take the mantle Polygon Washington Post The Mary Sue The Daily Dot She also associates with Romeo Rose. Now, who is Rose? Well, he is best known for this post that he made on his website, where he offered money to anyone able to find him a girlfriend, while saying offensive things about overweight and black women. HuffingtonPost covered that story in their livestream. Based on what chans are saying, it seems MacKenzie responded to his post to troll him, they dated, then she filed restraining order and they broke up, yet still hangs out with him. Also, they say that Rose made some Elliot Rodger-esque statements in the past. You can find more info on him with little googling and youtube search. Kelly's AMA seemed a bit weird to me - vague responses only to soft-ball questions. Also, there was this thread regarding her first video on GamerGate. Video is gone now, after people called her out on factual errors in comments, and on the fact that she basically read out clickhole article. Daly Dot even wrote about that. I would be wary of her. Support is good, but she seems quite suspicious to me. Call me a paranoid, but I would not prop her up especially because we have other important public figures that done plenty of good for our movement and generaly eceleb stuff leads to drama. I suspect her being just a major scale troll that opposition might use to get some ammo against us, after she makes an idiot out of herself

Copy-paste from Old Thread OP Its not just unethical for reviewers and bloggers to not disclose payments, gifts, or free services it is ILLEGAL Lets discuss how to document these abuses and report them to the FTC. >The revised Guides also add new examples to illustrate the long standing principle that "material connections" (sometimes payments or free products) between advertisers and endorsers - connections that consumers would not expect- must be disclosed. These examples address what constitutes an endorsement when the message is conveyed by bloggers or other "word-of-mouth" marketers. The revised Guides specify that while decisions will be reached on a case-by-case basis, the post of a blogger who receives cash or in- kind payment to review a product is considered an endorsement. Thus, bloggers who make an endorsement must disclose the material connections they share with the seller of the product or service. oftc overning-endorsements sites/defaultfil uments/feder ster notic Notable Posts No. 377027: The FTC primarily operates off of consumer complaints for violation discovery. We need to find the violations and report them to the FTC. They also give more credence to violations reported by multiple people. It is our duty as responsible consumers to find the violations and report them. Here is the link to file a report. No. 377126: Because of who l am and what I do, I really can't get involved. But I will leave you with this bit of information. Look at 16 CFR 255.5 in the guide listed for download in the thread. Specifically the example used is as follows: Example 7: A college student who has earned a reputation as a video game expert maintains a personal weblog or "blog" where he posts entries about his gaming experiences. Readers of his blog frequently seek his opinions about video game hardware and software. As it has done in the past, the manufacturer of a newly released video game system sends the student a free copy of the system and asks him to write about it on his blog. He tests the new gaming system and writes a favorable review. Because his review is disseminated via a form of consumer-generated media in which his relationship to the advertiser is not inherently obvious, readers are unlikely to know that he has received the video game system free of charge in exchange for his review of the product, and given the value of the video game system, this fact likely would materially affect the credibility they attach to his endorsement. Accordingly, the blogger should clearly and conspicuously disclose that he received the gaming system free of charge. The manufacturer should advise him at the time it provides the gaming system that this connection should be disclosed, and it should have procedures in place to try to monitor his postings for compliance.

1993, Senator Lieberman reignited the cause with the first federal hearings on violent video games. The hearings were filled with impassioned statements by expert witnesses who decried the new scourge. Dr. Eugene Provenzo, a professor who authored a book called Vīdeo Kids: Making Sense of Nintendo, proclaimed that Robert Chase, president of the National Education Association, suggested that games incite real-life violence. "Because they are active rather than passive, [video games] can do more than desensitize impressionable children to violence," he said. "They actually encourage violence as the resolution of first resort by rewarding participants for killing one's opponents in the most grisly ways imagina-ble."

AM AGAINST BIASED AND CORRUPT GAME JOURNALISM I do think that some self-reflection is re- quired on the part of games media - apologies need to be issued where rele- vant, and a genuine good faith effort to be pro-consumer is required going for- ward in order to defuse a good deal of this situation. #GAMERGATE And if what is left are trolls and misogy- nists, then I think you are going to find that those who have had their ethical concerns satisfied and those that have been apologized to by the people that they believe betrayed them will join you in condemning these same people, be- cause I am of the firm belief that the vast majority of gamers are not sexist, they are not misogynists, they are very reasonable people that are feeling very put out in the cold right now.
