I'll admit rm not 100% perfect and I'll make my mistakes from time to time. This may even be one or them. But to pretend that I have some sort of hidden anti-female agenda up my sleeve is insulting But if this is what you want to make of me to try to discredit my message of equality and kindness in this whole thing. go for it. I won't lose any sleep either way boogie2988 Junior Member Today, 07:45 AM) Quote #2677 Also in reference to me supporting mrs summers and the claim that I have 'baggage", I want to just go ahead and spill the beans on all of that I was ralised by a single mother, Well, my father was actually handicapped after a stroke so I guess she was more of a married mother who also had to take care of her husband The lady was pretty crazy and did some horrible things but she has always remained my rolemodel of what a strong independent woman could be. I admired her strength, and admired it even over her insanity She was also a proud feminist. She believed that women were in every way equal to men and made sure that I believed and understood that too. She made sure that I believed that a woman could endure and rise above any and all obstacles set before them In college I began to learn about how the world was different for women over men. I learned all about the different obstacles they faced. With a r--- that involved our entire football team on campus i also became aware of the dangers women faced Through the years I've done what I could to fight for equality for all people, taking special note that women have to endure a more difficult climb and extra dangers that men would not have to face. I also factored into it that women were just as good and as strong as men and were more the capable of overcoming it About 2 years ago I was thrown under the bus' by a friend over a contraversy about a Magic: the gathering card. The art for this card showed a powerful male character overpowering a female character, and the art was somewhat proactive. This is the first time I ever learned anything about "T gers I took to twi ter o proclaim ㄱ do see r--- in this picture and was lectured over and over about how I was dismissing other women's feelings and how cruel that as It got me to begin study feminism and the way its changed since I was a kid. Its all rather confusing to me but Im trying to adjust so I can better champion women and other diverse groups in gaming in my videos In that tweet I rejected the notion that I should not come to the defense of Zoe Quinn, because I felt that she would not come to my defense. I implied that this is because I am a straight white cis male. Many people picked up on the ire in that comment, as you should. It is very frustrating to me that I am the "Enemy" because of the circumstances of my birth. It is very frustrating to me that my words mean nothing because of the origin they are coming from. It is very confusing to me that even when I am trying to offer my valid opinion it is shrugged off as "mansplaining" just a few hours after making that tweet, I tweeted zoe quinn. I offered her my apologies and my sincere regrets for any damage she's befallen and any role I have played in it. That tweet was when I first lost my temper during all of this and that tweet was also a learning moment for me I'm not perfect, I never claimed to be. I'm still learning But my heart is true and it remains true, and continue to do EVERYTHING I CAN to champion equality for all people in gaming and elsewhere until my dying breath If you want to hate me or discredit me or dig up dirt on me, that's fine. You're welcome to do it I know who and what I am and i'll sleep soundly at night knowing I'm doing my best, even if my best isnt very good

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
