On the current situation Before you ask, there's a list of things l'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, andI 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 l believe that tarring anyone who vociferously campaigns for social justice with the same brush is unfair. AndI should know: I've been unfair. To 4chan FROM THIS Ariel Connor MissAngerist. Aug 21 @zonetans @TFYCapitalists No self-respecting charity should accept money from hiveminding abusers misogyny れ£712 ★2 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 chan, the CATHEDRAL View conversation Ariel Connor @MissAngerist Aug 21 @TFYCapitalists @DelTorro PaulMorgan42 S of misogynists is your main backer, by your admission! #accountability o clear that a communitypast attempting to ride this wave to fund itself after the first attempt failed View conversation 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 sections of my articles, claiming to be all pro-feminism. I took to twitter to make my opinions 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. That was until saw that they stand to make NO money from this and will in fact be giving women with good ideas, not programmers, a portion of the profits commensurable with a producer in the entertainment industry. TO THIS And the rest goes to charity And then I thought: why am I 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 I absolutely believed, and I believed it because Ms Quinn said it. I didn't do research. Why would 1? Obviously someone as awesome as her would know what she's talking about. And therein lies the problem. It's so easy to misdirect and deflect blame or scrutiny from yourself by choosing your words carefully. I came to learn that 4chan is the way it is because of anonymity, NOT because of some deep rooted ideology. A friend came to me (not disclosing seeing a pattern here?) and told me that they browsed their lgbt board. Another explained to me that it's sort of like reddit in that the overall entity cannot be spoken for by its subdivisions, which have their own culture and often fight amongt themselves to boot.
