Gamergate, and why I support it

Deeply. I'm a fresh sapling in the IT industry and I quite frankly am completely abhorred with what I've seen. As a disclaimer, I support gender equality, racial equality, ect. and would consider myself a very open minded person But this s---... is absolutely disgusting. The amount of lying and the hiding behin the feminism shield boils my blood. I fully support #gamergate and #notyourshield because I am just that-not your shield. I am sick of these f------ idiots who have barely even touched a damn game in their lives dictating that this is about women hatred Some people claim internalized misogyny I am an independent young woman. I pay all of my own bills. I live on my own.I am not weak because I do not support you. You have hubris because you do not respect that I have different thoughts. Some people claim that I am being abused by a man to think these things It's true that I have a boyfriend, but I live on my own. I make all of my own decisions. I raise my little baby birds and me without the help of anyone else on this damn f------ planet. Do not take that away from me because you feel like using me as a meat shield Some people claim that I simply do not understand. Which seems to be an odd statement, coming from people who do not even know about the games that they are supposedly criticizing. Who do not have an interest in the industry Unlike these guys, I have worked in an office full of men. I have played these games that are questioned. I have faced up to the challenges in my life It is not about misogyny. It is about being transparent. These disgusting leeches are sucking so dearly to the t-- of feminism to give their argument any credence that it quite boiled my blood away Just now-Like

This is explicitly about my private life, which has been regrettably forced into the public and framed by people who pose a threat to my safety and well being as well as that of the people I love. I would hope that the effort people have gone through to dress it up as anything more would not be enough to have those who see it for what it is take the bait.

That "beyond reproach" part is bugging me, because I would LOVE to use my platform to reproach this kind of behavior... but that would go against Quinn's valid and understandable desire not to have this personal matter publicized by the media So what's to be done?

EXPOSED: THE SECRET MAILING LIST OF THE GAMING JOURNALISM ELITE SHARE 1956 EMAIL 51 TWEET wrote: On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 9:43 AM, Kyle Orland ckyleorland@ If you are behind on the appalling doxxing attempt against her overnignt, read this first: http:/Ipastebin com/v4DGSQaR The very first paragraph of that statement: "This has nothing to do with games and is not a matter of legitimate public interest, but is simply a personal matter. I would hope and request that the games press be respectful of what IS a personal matter, and not news. This is explicitly about my private life, which has been regrettably forced into the public and framed by people who pose a threat to my safety and well being as well as that of the people I love. I would hope that the effort people have gone through to dress it up as anything more would not be enough to have those who see it for what it is take the bait I understand where Quinn is coming from, and want to respect her desire for privacy. At the same time, I do feel that there is some legitimate public interest in a game developer being attacked by "the internet."At the same time as *that, I don't want to in essence reward the jerks doing this by giving their "issue" any attention at all (Im not even going to give the b------- "journalism ethics" excuse for these attacks the time of day. Even if there is any merit to those accusations, the sickening facts of these attacks easily overwhelms it) But then there's this, from Quinn's statement: "I have forfeited [my privacy] by being a "public figure" in a small community, while those who delight in assailing me hide behind their keyboards and a culture that permits it, beyond reproach." That "beyond reproach" part is bugging me, because I would LOVE to use my platform to reproach this kind of behavior... but that would go against Quinn's valid and understandable desire not to have this personal matter publicized by the media So what's to be done? Maybe we should just stick to Twitter to boost the signal on this one, rather than our "front pages." (Quinn seemed initially OK with people retweeting her statement (https:/Itwitter.com/TheQuinnspiracy/status/501644035593748481) but then she took down the original Tumblr post, so who knows). Maybe we should get a public letter of support going around decrying these kinds of personal attacks, signed by as many sympathetic journalists/developers as we can. Maybe we should just use this as an excuse give more attention to her work...

Cracked's JF Sargeant misinformed about GamerGate's chronology

ˇ牝 JF Sargent Reply #453 on: Today at 01:03 PM » Karma: 195 l asked people on Twitter why they weren't focusing on corruption in major gaming companies, and instead harassing an indie dev, and they said they weren't big enough to take on big companies yet. I pointed out that focusing on big companies is the way to get exposure because otherwise it looks like they're punching down, and they said that they actually were attacking big companies (game journalists), because they didn't like being smeared as "white cis het" people, and that the whole thing had been misdirected to be about Zoe. I asked what major game journalist called them white cis het, and they said it was actually mainly people on Twitter doing that, and THATS what they were actually mad about. 2 When I originally asked what GamerGate was about, they all said that it pre-dated Zoe and was about corruption. When l ointed out that this evidence showed that GamerGate was orchestrated by 4chan, then they changed their minds and said GamerGate was started by Adam Baldwin and was never about Zoe at all. When I pointed out that Adam Baldwin's tweet was about Zoe Quinn, they said that that's because she was really corrupt. Which starts the whole thing over Sex Prius The piecemeal nature of Twitter means that their arguments don't have to be consistent, which makes the people who try to debate them infuriated. Which means they get to comp ain about how rude everyone i to hen. Thees nothing i。his, no substance, just discontent and hurt that the people involved need to spread because it's eating them up inside and they want to blame somebody else. Everyone who supports gamergate is either lying to us or themselves, and it's actually inconsiderate to try to humor them, because if they can legitimize their pain to themselves they'll never try to get over it.
