![TwitLongen Ad-free Account r Write a Post Search A Different Way To Respond To A R--- Accusation [Update] Jason Schreier @jasonschreier 10th Sep 2014 from TwitLonger Tweet A Like @TheRalphRetort The story of what happened between TFYC and Zoe Quinn, from Quinn joking about DDoSing their website to this alleged "peace treaty" that they struck last week, is messy and interesting. There are certainly compelling reasons we might report on it, and normally, I'd contact all involved parties and try to dig into the truth about what happened. But this situation is not normal by any means. And we're hesitant to A) publish an article that would encourage or facilitate more harassment of ANYONE: B) cover a story that heavily involves someone who had a now-very-public relationship with one of our reporters. Maybe in a few months, when things have simmered down, that will change and if another outlet writes a thorough, fair, honest account of what happened, we'd certainly consider linking out to thatbut for now, I don't feel comfortable trying to tackle that story on Kotaku. (FYI, I also made it clear to Matt when we spoke that our conversation might not lead to any sort of article) Patricia Hernandez Fled to: OPINION 7/15/14 7:56pm 53613 46 ★ Against Huma umaniLy Cards Against Humanity Reply . Report Post 9 Editor's Note: This piece has been significantly revised to better convey its original intent. Please read the newer version at this link. Last weekend, Max Temkin, co-creator of the popular card game Cards Against Humanity, wrote a blog post about r--- accusation. The post went up somewhat unnoticed, thanks to a combination of EVO, the World Cup, and GaymerX happening all at the same time-but it's something that we, as a gaming community, should talk about. You can read Temkin's post here-he deseribes his previous relationship with the woman who accuses him of r---, and hetalks about his complex feelings around social media, to which](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/828/154/4ab.png_large "F--- logic because we are Kotaku: Hypocrite edition")

![#GamerGate explained in five minutes or your money back #GamerGate is a call for transparency and ethics reform in game industry media. What kind of ethics abuses occurred? The Fine Young Capitalists (TFYC) launched a web fundraiser to help women break into the gaming industry. A game developer (dev) used their influence to get it shut down THE FINE YOUNG Days later, the same dev created their own ther der he pead promote thle new aimp frgondut CAPITALISTS the dev helped promote this new campaign, but no media talked about what happened to TFYC http://apgnation.com/archives/2014/09/09/6977/truth-gaming-interview-fine-young-capitalists http://bit.ly/ZgnCEt Several judges at video game award panels IndieCade and Independent Games Festival (IGF) were shown to have conflicts-of-interest with the winners Two judges were sexual partners of an IndieCade winner. Seven judges were investors in an IGF winner (and stood to profit from the press/sales generated by winning). http://gamesnosh.com/fez-investors-outed-judges-2011-igf-award http://bit.ly/1uBZPJN Gamers turned to online forums to discuss these and similar revelations. Mass-deletion of topics and comments related to certain VIP personalities was seen on major gaming sites and even larger community forums such as reddit, 4chan, and NeoGAF [deleted 1-1 [deleted:3 minutes ago [deleted) I- fdeleted] 8 minubes [deleted] 【-】 [deleted] 1 hour ago deleted 1-1: deleted. hour ago Gamers - angry at being silenced - investigated further and demanded answers. http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/813699-quinnspiracy http://bit.ly/1AMq80Z Gaming sites replied with articles declaring the death of gamers, calling them misogynists... since some of the people under scrutiny for ethics abuses happened to be female Gamers' are over. These fourteen "anti-gamer" articles appeared on 28 Aug 2014 and shared similar talking- points: a coordinated effort to divert attention away from ethics abuses to false misogyny http://pastebin.com/dWzF8Eqd The community of gamers rallied under the Twitter hashtag #GamerGate to spread news, anti-gamer site boycott lists, more evidence of ethics breaches, and victories won. #GamerGate was accused of being straight white misogynist men. #NotYourShield was born to showcase the group's diversity and tell detractors that hiding behind empty claims of sexism, racism, etc. doesn't make them right. https://twitter.com/search for #GamerGate and #NotYourShield Game devs showed support to #GamerGate for challenging the media and standing up to their baseless "misogyny" smear campaign. They too have been bullied by these "Social Justice Warriors" (SJWs) - people who want to impose their own self-righteous morality on others and smear/blacklist anyone who resists http://techraptor.net/2014/09/12/interview-daniel-vavra http://bit.ly/1DØBfr1 Help us improve journalism, ensure judgi and keep political agendas out of our games and media support #GamerGate Want more current info?
