Paging l've been participating in an activist campaign recently that's beern speaking out against impropriety by members of the press. As a result, that press has derided the campaign as a "hate campaign", as a sort of "don't look at us, look at them" sort of thing They've employed the use of STATISTICSto show how we're firmly and definitively a "hate campaign" As a professor of statistics yourself, can you lend me your professional opinion to the following pieces? https://archive.today/3Q8yo https://medium.com/@cainejw/an-actual-statistical-analysis-of-gamergate dfd809858f68 Like Comment-Share for this one I can already tell how the info is flawed since they literally only take into account how many tweets that person got, and nothing else 29 mins - Like The criique in the 2nd link is spot on. The formal name of this type of research is content analysis which has a very well-established methodology for defining what concepts (variables) you're measuring, the sampling plan and stat analysis., and most were violated, most likely ignored if even known. 19 mins - Like Ihaks, doc.

_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

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

As someone who's had to do statistics till I puked in school I've got to say: that rebuttal is well done.
I STILL want to know what they count as postive and negative exactly. If I said: "I don't like Nathan Grayson because of his attitude" is this already negative? Or do I have to say that he's an ass? Even that is harmless, really.

Another thing: WHY for crying out loud is Quinn still relevant? And are those REALLY the only 3 women in video gaming? Obviously not but in the original article no other female devs were mentioned and I'm 100% positive there are some active on twitter….did THEY get harassment? The probability is very low.
The whole statistic they made is crap and when you create these statistics you got to cite your sources and detail the way you make the statistic.

I was about to point out the bullshit of using a statistical study where the value of a variable (sentiment) is determinated by subjectivity, without even specifying the criteria used , but thankfully the second article had me covered.

Here are the links mentioned btw
