Alex Lifschitz's Cousin Speaks (Update: Confirmed)

ddiamond84 | Smack-Fu Master, intrainin First cousin of Alex here with my response- How are you still such a huge entitled a------, Alex? NEW POSTER 18 minutes ago https:ffarchive.todaylg1zH7 ""'d written him off two years ago," Lifschitz says, saying that they had a modern sort of family dispute. Cousin said something vile and "misogynistic" on Facebook"" My cousin accuses people of misogyny all the time. That isn't the same thing as being a misogynist. Pretty simple, right? I was posting a Facebook status about the 2012 election and my cousin arrogantly decided to wade in and call me a misogynist. He's always been comfortable in carelessly accusing anyone he has a problem with as being a misogynist or any other label he sees fit. If only people could see his old facebook posts about how he felt entitled to girls but they always chose better looking assholes over him. It was Elliot Rodger-esque, but no one knows about that stuff, and it's long gone now Lifschitz unfriended and blocked. Done and done. Once GamerGate got into full swing, however, this cousin reappeared online, and he had become a fully fledged GamerGate member-a potentially dangerous one at that." I don't give a s--- about gamergatelanti gamergate. I've never used the hashtag, but again Alex says whatever he wants to say, it's one of the weirdest issues I've ever seen. But I do 100% support anyone else who sees you for the huge condescending phony prick you are "He allegedly began directing social media posts (from "three sockpuppet accounts" at Quinn and Lifschitz full of the kind of intormation only a ramily member might know Yeah, I think it's worth knowing that while Alex is grandstanding all over the internet, he's actually a slimy awful person in his real day to day life. And it's pretty infuriating that him and Zoe call themselves homeless. Have you ever seen a homeless person getting $4,000 a month? People can give money to whatever they want. But them claiming homelessness is very insulting to actual homeless people ""He was so dumb about it," Lifschitz said Said the guy who has half the internet harassing him with no end in sight.. "He used his old handle from a music forum for one. He used his old OKCupid handle for another. And he started sending personal information at me about my family, when people were looking for things to attack me with and put my family in danger I wasn't trying to hide anything. I think that's obvious given how easily you could find those names l used. My name was taken so l used other names. You know how you use your dumb vontendy name instead of Alex Lifschitz? Kind of like that. After telling some family members, Lifschitz asked them to hold off on taking any action so that he could watch what his cousin might say or do as a "case study" for how Internet harassers and trolls act. Eventually, after compiling enough screenshots and proof of identity, "We had that cathartic thing we all want to do with Internet trolls: we told his parents!"" No, Alex didn't tell my parents anything. He ran to his brother/daddy and asked them to write my parents something. Yes, irreverent tough guy Alex Lifschitz ran to his daddy, who composed an email to my parents They don't know what the hell gamergate is, and their response was "this is really stupid and annoying, just do whatever his dad's asking for so he'll leave us alone". And then his Dad threatened to sue me or take me to moon court or something So l'd like to formally go on record and say that the rumors are true: my cousin Alex is a huge a------, and is fully deserving of any criticism that has come his way over the past year. Just don't go too far or he'll tell his daddy on you and threaten to sue you/take you to moon court. Anyone who's got any other questions about Alex can email me.

Let's recap

$If it feels like #GamerGate is slowing down, pump some iron, and pay attention to how much lighter it seems after about 8 months. Think about it. >We were chugging in October, because it was harder for us. >We had to work our asses off to get changes, to get information. >There were less of us by a fraction of what we are now >Anti-GamerGate was stronger than we were. It took more effort to get it going. It was an uphill battle. Now it's effortless for us. >We've more than quadrupled in size. >Sites adopt ethics policies without fighting Our opponents are disintigrating and turning on each other The main stream media hasn't touched us since "How it feels >The last MSM attempt (How it Feels) was brutally torn apart. Intimidation Game, the thing Anti-GamerGate held its collective breath over, didn't do much better than a certain infamous Pokemon and its infamous move >We already weathered the worst of the Anti-GamerGate tactics back in October, and steamrolled straight over them. >We're starting to get stronger than them. Hell, even AyyTeam is a bigger threat than they are, at this point. (Which isn't saying much, tbqh. It's like saying Raditz is threatening.) GamerGate feels like it's slowing down, it's not. We've just gotten stronger, and the stuff we used to have to struggle to do seems like nothing at all, now If it seems like GamerGate isn't doing anything, any more, that's not because it's dying, or losing focus. It's because there's less to do, less to focus on. It's because it's winning.$

You guys can't quit now. You can't burn out now. Not because of some idiots on twitter. The games industry needs you. I know this sounds melodramatic, so let me put this into context. I'm a failed game dev. Worked for a now defunct game studio that made a bunch crappy movie tie ins. I guess it's no big loss. Worked my way in through QA, and tried working my way to being an artist. And they died big time. Checks started bouncing, and the owner still kept conning people saying "oh the next milestone we will pay everyone back". The f----- even raided the 401k for cash. Really shady s---. I was a sucker and kept going since I desperately want to get into game dev. F----- probably owed me $20,000 and more for the more experienced, well played devs. I was a sucker, so I don't blame anyone, and the f----- was at least arrested for taxfraud, so their is that. Anyways point of the story is one of my co-workers who got out said "oh yeah, stuff like this happens in the game industry all the time." And this guy had worked on big stuff like Twisted Metal." Given the s--- I saw my old boss pull, and the things tim/schafer say and do, it seems like bad business management is really common in the industry. And anybody remember rockstar wives/ EA wives? S--- like that was common at my job, and that co-worker said it's common throughout the industry, the studios and pubs just work hard to make sure it doesn't get out. And yet how many of these big site complaining about huge problems in the industry talk about devs NOT F------ GETTING PAID, and f------ crunchtime being borderline crimes against humanity? These f------ know about this s---, and they turn a blind eye, to focus on minor s---. (Fart to continue/John Galt steals s--- from 8chan) There were a fuckton of women at our studio. I think THEM NOT GETTING F------ PAID, is way more important then whatever evil stuff is supposedly happening to them in the industry (S--- ton of artists were women and most of the PR, management stuff were women. Though it's fair there were few women programmers, but they were there.) Granted this was about Five years before GG, but I can tell the spirit of fear in the industry has existed long before the SJWS took over, but it certainly couldn't have improved things. I want articles on this s---. I want sites, and journos to talk about it. I WANT it screamed at the rooftops You guys can't give up. You can't just pack it up, since some people on twitter are morons. There is too much at stake here. Like l said, I'm a nobody, and only had a minor posstion, but there are DECADES worth of problems in this industry and I don't think any them will ever be addressed until the game journos act like actual journos. That s--- with Journos burying a story about EA hacks since they didn't want to offend their friends? Would not surprise me at all that that's also what is happening with all the bad business practices You guys can't back down now. I'm just a nobody, and can't really speak for real devs, and l've just given up on my dream and settled for menial labor, but this industry needs help, and I think you guys might be the seeds of something that could help. I can understand getting discouraged, but don't give up. I guess I need to go to bed soon, and probably take vidya breaks
