Briham My first post! e: Counter-argument article to the Zoe Quinn interview? « Reply #145 on: Today at 01:56 PM » 価quote Karma:-10 uote from: David Wong on Today at 11:25 AM Offline So why the sudden apprehension for actually looking into this? Because there is literally nothing else other than the misogyny. Nothing - it's all a flimsy cover for the raid. The "Fine Young Capitalists" controversy was purely a n invention that's why the character they created for their game has a 4chan logo in the girl's hair. It's purely intended to get people like you riled up, and help spread the word. They're using you, which is what they do d no, this isn't a few fringe bad people-''Gamergate" didn't exist before the Zoe Quinn thing, it was 100% born from that, and got 100% of its momentum from t. It was born from a bad person, and perpetuated by bad people. The MRA's and anti-feminists just used it to jump on board. Don't get sucked in because you ridiculous lie about how all care about is ethics The character Vivian James wears the 4chan logo because she was designed by 4chan. One of the rewards for donating money was that the donor could design a character for game. /vi donated over $23,000 to the Fine Young Capitalist's game am to encourage female developers. You make it sound as if TFYC is some shadowy front for 4chan. That's not the case The Fine Young Capitalists spoke out about harrassment from Zoe's clique, thought it was unfair, and so they helped support the game jam Yes, Gamergate was created in response to the Zoe Quinn scandal. The Secret Service was created to fight the creation of counterfeit money. To say that the modern Secret Service is only about counterfeit prevention would be false. The hashtag #GamerGate was actually coined by actor Adam Baldwin and was adopted because it shifted focus away from Quinn to focus on the real problem: ethics. If you visit , you'd see that the GamerGate people are actively encouraging this shift in focus. For every post suggesting an attack on Zoe, there are about five-six responses telling that person to "f--- off" and the post is reported within minutes Try looking up #notyourshield. These are gamers who support GamerGate. They are people of color, they are LGBTQ, they are of various religious beliefs. They are tired of so-called social justice warriors claiming to speak for them while ignoring their existence within the GamerGate movement. One of the champions of GamerGate is Christina Hoff Sommers, a feminist philosopher and author. This is not a movement of misogynists and MRA's, and it's actually quite hurtful to say that it is Logged avid Won Administrator e: Zoe Quinn Article Discussion « Reply #146 on: Today at 02:02 PM 価quote Karma: 4242 Nope!

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

"WE HAVE ALL THIS EVIDENCE LOOK 4CHAN TALKED ABOUT IT THAT MUST MEAN IT'S MISOGYNISTIC"

For fuck's sake. So if you're a woman/black/gay/transgender and support this, you obviously don't exist. Also, does it never occur to anyone that 4chan might just be a bunch of guys talking about anime and video games and NOT some nebulous conspiracy dedicated to some equally nebulous right-wing goal?
