I'm not going to tell anyone who l actually am, that's point one. I'm a blogger and I am paid for my writings, and I have cause to believe that I would legitimately be either fired or in a very very unfavourable position as a result of this. Make of that what you will. I'm not going to make a video I'm not going to swear unconditional allegiance to some sort of movement that calls itself anti-SJW because I believe that tarring anyone who vociferously campaigns for social justice with the same brush is unfair. And I should know: I've been unfair. To 4chan Allow me to explain. Before all of this started I was alerted by a friend (who will also remain unnamed because she is also in an awkward position) of this whole situation. The background to me AT THE TIME was thus: here is a woman, Ms Zoe Quinn, being slut shamed, having her game bombarded with troll reviews and 1/10 scores, getting doxxed, getting her private life more or less splashed all over the gaming and tech journalism district of the internet. And here's a company, TFYC, that I 'knew to be an exploitative, nasty piece of work from the failed project in the empting to ride this wave to fund itself after the first attempt failed I was incensed. Here was 4chan, an entity that as far as I was concerned existed only to call me a slut and a c--- in the comments sectio known. I made reactionary posts because I thought that TFYC had stone age trans policies (they don't) and that they were mansplaining feminism from a position of privilege (they aren't). I went so far as to call collusion with 4chan a form of deep corruption, compromising so-called feminist values for the sake of making profit f my articles, claiming to be all pro-feminism. I took to twitter to make my opinions . That was aw that they stand to make NO money from this and will in fact be giving women with good i programmers, a portion of the profits commensurable with a producer in the entertainment industry And the rest goes to charity And then I thought: why am l against this again? Details emerged. The project was more or less killed by Zoe Quinn claiming that they were anti-trans and exploitative. This was a stance l absolutely believed, and I believed it because Ms Quinn said it. I didn't do research. Why would I? Obviously someon awesome as her wou s talking about. And the the misdirect and deflect blame or scrutiny from ymity, NOT SO urself by choosing your words carefully. I came to learn that 4chan is the way it is because of a because of some deep rooted ideology. A friend came to me (not disclosing - seeing a pattern h that they browsed their lgbt board.

zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h Since I'm getting a lot of emails about this: no, l've got nothing to do with That TV show. I learned about its existence at the same time as the rest of you. No, I was not asked, consulted etc. and if I had been asked, I wouldn't have been ok with it. That's all. 5 17 42 408 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I continue to reject any oversimplification of GamerGate that leaves out its roots in white supremacy, domestic violence, and the pre-existing societal issues it capitalized in favor of a more convenient and inaccurate narrative about it being solely about women in games. t7 78 5 510 @UnburntWitch - 57m zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn If I am portrayed in it, it's without my involvement or any input on my end, and is happening without my consent. If I'm written out of it, well. I'm not so sure how you can present it as an “honest" story. But that's really not my problem, either. 27 10 204 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn ... @UnburntWitch I don't want to do any interviews on this, I don't want to give any other statements aside from this. It's bad enough having all of this pop up again without any warning or regard for how I might feel about it, so l'd like to just try and ignore it. Thank you for understanding.

zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h wow what a "fun" idea. assholes. O DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm - 9h Ellen Page and Paris Berelc have been cast in the gaming comedy 1UP' for BuzzFeed Studios. The film is described as being in the vein of 'Pitch Perfect' but set in the world of esports with a Gamergate backdrop. (Source: link.hollywoodreporter.com/click/21952263..) IB CAD 44 27 251 M 1.6K zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 1h love that the psycho ex who ruined my life and the alt-right mob he drummed up basically seems to have won the disinformation wars given the replies to this. big props to everyone who knew better but stayed ""neutral"" during gg. O 6 27 52 O 829 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h fun reminder: the game review I supposedly "bought" with sex literally never existed in any way, shape, or form, and the psycho ex who kicked up the mob even said so himself. 000 I hate that this still somehow is considered a controversial statement. 27 78 O 771 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I hate that I have to keep saying it but I don't know what else to do when people just let the waters be muddied for this long and my existence has been politicized to the point where I can't just live my life. 000 277 O 497 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h 000 They even named the protagonist "Vivian" so they know enough to know better than to make this a fun comedic romp. O 10 337 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 57m I'm so sick of talking about this even though it STILL impacts my life every day. I struggle to live my life around it, recover from it, and not let it break me and then stuff like this comes up from time to time and kicks me in the teeth. O 4 27 8 O 386 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O 000 @UnburntWitch Replying to @UnburntWitch Sorry. I know a million more important and f----- up things are happening rn.
