iPad 10:24 AM reddit.com TheScrumpyMonkey2 po I'm not going to sit here and tell you Arthur Chu or some collective group of "Social Justice Warriors" were responsible for the threats; that would be a betrayal of my principles and the truth. The truth is that at this juncture we have no clue who sent those threats or why. Arthur Chu was being mean-spirited and possibly strayed into harassment but it is incredibly unlikely he called in a threat of this nature. It's the same with all threats like this. We just don't know until an arrest has been made, and since no arrests have been made it's been highly irresponsible and willfully untruthful for media outlets to blame the faceless boogieman of "GamerGate". Look at the faces of the hundreds of people at GGinDC. Take a good long look at that crowd of normal and pretty stunningly diverse people having a good time and tell me that is a "hate mob" responsible for criminal acts and not a group of gamers wanting to meet people and have a good time. The media narrative is patently ridiculous and simply fails to uphold its own internal logic So you won't hear about this story in the New York Times like you did with Anita Sarkeesian's threats, this won't be covered on Kotaku or Polygon on anywhere else that usually hungers for "female gamers in peril" stories. To cover this event would be to humanize the very people they have spent eight plus months demonizing and to make the embarrassing, withering admission that threats and harassment are EVERYONE'S problem, not just a select few who wish use them to push an agenda. So who IS responsible for the threats against GGinDC? Well it's the same person responsible for the threats against Zoe Quinn, it's the same person who sent a needle in the post to Milo Yiannopoulos; an individual. Not a group, not a hash-tag, not a belief system, not a gender and not a race. An individual who deserves to be treated as such; Isolated, deranged and on the wrong side of the law. But it's hard to demonize groups when you recognize the responsibility of the individual GGinDC was made up of real people, with real lives, with real disabilities and strengths who had a really good time despite the best efforts of individuals who ranged from petty, to spiteful, to federal criminal mi rm give gold hoaterica GLORY TO THE HYPNOSARKEESIAN mi ago You can have as diverse a bunch of people as you want. If the ends they're serving are white patriarchy, i.e MRAssholery, they're a diverse group supporting that You can't use "diversity" as a get out of jail free card, or as a trump card to solve all problems. GG has been repeatedly proven to be an MRA-centered, MRA-run hate mob. You can talk "diversity" all you want, but the endgame isn't too well hidden and to be perfectly frank GG's supporters have done a very poor job hiding the lede about what GG wants. I mean, need we discuss the shitstains who have basically killed my WoW server unless I want to hear the GooberGrape party line about the "forcible re-manning of Brianna Wu" and outlandish accusations about people f------ dogs and ludicrous toxic anti-Semitism directed at someone who isn't even Jewish? That's what GooberGrape stands for. That's what this "diverse" group of people stands for. Does it justify a bomb threat? HELL TO THE F--- NO But don't play the "diverse" card when it's about misogynist, racist, transexterminationist MRAsshole theology. There are, you know, trans woman MRAs. People who conspire with a theology which says we shouldn't exist. There are disabled MRAs, even though MRAsshle theology claims we're dangerous, harmful people. You're going to find someone stupid or misled enough to follow anything...that doesn't make a movement about MRAsshole theology any more "diverse" in who it's designed to serve tl;dr: GG=MRAssholes, MRAssholes are about cishet white male feelz and not realz, bomb threats are repugnant, diversity is intersectional, not the mere presence of people permalink save par give gold TheScrumpyMonkey 2 points 3 min Thankyou for that race and gender obsessed diatribe condemning a group of people who got a bomb-threat. I'm sure raving and ranting like this will convince a whole host of people you are not spiteful You are a conspiracy theroist. You just said MRA 10 times in that post like you hope it will suddenly make it true I treat people like people. You treat them like symbols based on race, ideology, gender and belief permalink save parent give gold ago Warrior nts 15 mi ago F--- whoever did this permalink save give gold

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

"Judge people based on their individual merits and faults, it doesn't matter what group or ideology they identify with, they are an individual and cannot represent a group of a 1000 more."

That's the first time I heard this kind of rationality within the entire GamerGate discussion. I'm glad there are people who've figured that out.
