www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s644c0 TwitLonger Ad-free Account Write a Post Ariel Connor @MissAngerist 26th Aug 2014 from TwitLonger Tweet FLike On the current situation Before you ask, there's a list of things I'm not going to do. 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. Another cannot be spoken for by its subdivisions, which nd told me me that it's sort their own cult reddit in that the overall entity nd often fight amongt themselves to boot. And then I started to get headaches, and sweat, and get cravings for the cigarettes that I ga because l just made the kind of errors I constantly lampooned people for making: I did not do my research. For that I am sorry. I am sorry I insulted 4chan and I am sorry l insulted The Fine Young Capitalists. I even gave money, for what it's worth rs ago Don't think this means I've 'defected' in some way. Anyone making twitter accounts solely to harass people with Ms l lan nd i s is a leech. But equally, any 'SJW ng the term) who de d thinks this is just about misogyny is WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG. This woul for over a week if it was and there wouldn't be THOUSANDS raised for charity and there wouldn't be people demanding that Nathan Grayson resign (he should) or that Zoe Quinn should apologise for issuing false DMCA requests (she absolutely should). emember how And to anyone trying to take away 4chan's donations by calling them 'spiteful...hello? Do y all threw money at Anita Sarkeesian to spite the mean trolls you STILL BELIEVED IN HER CAUSE. People don't just open their wallets out of pure spite to the tune of 30 thousand dollars. If the cause of feminism in gaming was REALLLY so abhorrent to ALL of 4chan, then they wouldn't give money, period. Imagine asking me to give money to some pro-life group just because it would spite one of the cretins who posts NSFW photos on my blog posts. l'd NEVER do it and don't pretend a lot of you would either. There has to be some underlying sympathy ng her? That money was gi out of s And as a final point: I've begun to notice an awful lot of harassment coming from people I'd consider to be on 'my side. SJW's throwing around words like neckbeard, virgin, misogynist pigs, even going so far as to compare them to ISIS. Sorry guys but just because 4chan is a big me we it. think carefully on this last point from now on, and y doesn't me iget to be bigoted and uninformed rebuttal minutes' reading will mbolises that Zoe Quinn is that I emblem of feminism in gaming ted had this whol straw-femi r would've though blown ld too kis Reply Report Post TwitLonger is developed e rely by Stuart Gibson (@stuartgibson).
