CATHODE DEBRIS Video game culture, italo disco and found space trash Archive First uses of the #gamergate and #notyourshield hashtags There's been some suggestion lately that #gamergate and #notyourshield are semi-legitmate hashtags. There's been some suggestion not everyone is there to attack women, but to express genuine outrage at corruption in the games industry, or to identify themselves as minority members of the "gamer" subculture The most basic dilligence shows that they certainly didn't start this way. The events of the last two weeks will be refered to for years to come, and it's important the astroturfed origins of both #gamergate and #notyourshield are recorded #gamergate users generally claim to be against corruption of the video game blog scene and that they do not support the harassment of women. I used twitter analytics website topsy.com to find the originator of the hashtag and check this claim out Full Metal Jacket's Animal Mother and noted right winger, on the 27th of August It was used to promote a chemtrail-esque conspiracy video harassing game developer Zoe Quinn after her ex-boyfriend aired his grudges over the internet Adam Baldwin @AdamBaldwin Follow #GamerGate: pt. 1: m,youtube.com/watch?v=C5-51P. pt. 2: youtube.com/watch?v=pKmy50 Reply Retweet ★ Favourite More YouTube 一, PLAYLIST | 2 /29 Quinnspiracy Theory: In-N-Out Edition 1960 IN-N-OUT BURGER »1 ) 0:00 / 24:45 0You Tube Quinnspiracy Theory: In-N-Out Edition Whose a guy gotta f--- around here to get some fries with this?
