Oh lookl It's Vivian James, a character in the new game "Afterlife Empire", a game designed by Danielle "Women making Video Games For Charity" Also featured is the name of an ethics awareness group who donated over 9000 dollars to help to make this game o as part of hat the heck are THESE posters of though? Well it turns out hey are part of a comic created by Alison Tieman called enospora: Sowing Strangers", portions of which she has hared freely with the public since May 2014. Alison paid for a ooth at the Calgary Expo to sell her comic. The lady in the "Defend Earth: Put the Dogs Down" poster is amed Cheryl Hunt. She is the Secretary of State in this comic, woman holding a position of power. "The guy in the "I Want ou To Fight the Human Scourge" is named Blunt Trauma. Hene re pictures of them in the comic. Alison was unable to sell her comic and establish a foothold in the mostly-male comics industry because the officials running the Calgary Expo told her to leave using security to expel them out of the building in such a rush that they left behind an expensive piece of equipment. One of the organizers laughed at her as she disassembled her booth and she Fans travelled to the Calgary Expo primarily to get a chance to meet Alison, buy copies of her comic, and get their autograph. The next da not wanting to disappoint them Alison met them in a park so they would not be let down. Apparently kicking her out was not enough, Calgary Expo officials called the police on her. Alison was never refunded the fees she paid to run her booth. Calgary pays CalExpo The Calgary Expo has not story of why Alison has been banned from their convention, or why they refused to respect their business agreement with her. At first they said it was because she attended a Women in Comics discussion panel (since she is a woman who creates comics) and that she raised her hand, was called upon, asked to speak, and spoke after being given permission to. Later this narrative changed, instead the Expo had a problem because in addition to selling her comic, her friend Anna (cosplaying Vivian James) was also selling t-shirts Calgary Expo officials claim that she applied fraudulently for her booth, that she signed up as "Xenospora" and changed to Honey Badger Brigade" (a name she and her cosplayer friend Rachel use with their friend Karen, also visible in picture) without informing them or asking permission. Investigating the Calgary Expo vendors page proves this to be a lie, as the Calgary Expo lists them as the Honey Badger Brigade Although the URL for the booth stayed www.xenospora.com this was not misrepresentation because posters of the comic were featured at the booth and the comic was being promoted by there. Alison Tieman, the comic's creator, is the founder of the Honey Badger Brigade, so it made sense to focus on advertising her comics product (since this is a comic con) rather than focus on selling Vivian James shirts, since that was only a secondary product being sold there Useful reading http://www.breitbart.com/london 2015/04/19/calgary-expo-faces- http://honeybadgerbrigade.com/2015/04/18/go-home-gamer-girl http://www.examiner.com/article calgary-expo-censors-the- opinions-unwelcome-the-honey-badger-affair/ http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakulnAction/comments/3320bx/op_ca lgaryexpo_continues updated list_of sponsors/ https://jennothardwire.wordpress.com/201504/19/equality-for- me-but-not-for-thee-calgaryexpo-honey-badger-brigade-fiascol http:/dailycaller.com/201504/18/female-group-ejected-from-

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
