Andrew Griffinandrew griffin 4h I wrote this piece, which has since been tweeted by @Glinner, carefully so that it didn't side with anything: twitter.com/Glinner/status.. Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 4h Not out of naive commitment to objectivity but from a sense that people can make up their own minds Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin -4h The joke, in my opinion, was clearly not worth getting outraged about. But the outrage was notable, not least because it trended here Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 4h Now @glinner and more tweeted as if I'm a GamerGater, or sympathetic. Would genuinely appreciate anyone's thoughts on if it looked that way Graham Linehan @Glinner 3h @_andrew_griffin you called them 'activists' and a 'community. Activists don't send SWAT teams to women's houses to terrorise them. Andrew Griffinandrew griffin 3h @Glinner I don't see activists as a morally-charged word. They're activists, for bad causes. Graham Linehan Glinner 3h @.andrew_griffin then present the facts and detail how #notyourshield started on 4chan as a smokescreen for abuse tinyurl.com/n7nt99z わロ★ Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin-3h @Glinner i said pretty much that. The went on to talk about sock puppets Maybe not enough but it's there Graham Linehan @Glinner Follow @_andrew_griffin rather than their doxxing, their SWAT-ing, their sending pics of dead babies to Quinm, Wu etc, then you ARE editorialising FAVORITE 9:47 AM-6 Mar 2015 Andrew Griffin_andrew griffin 2h @Glinner but that's not what this piece was about. We write about all of those things i100.independent.co.uk/article/meanwh.. Graham Linehan Glinner 2h @_andrew_griffin whatever, man. You added to the confusion with that particular piece and that's all I have to say about it Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin -2h @Glinner that's not all you had to say: you also insulted me to your 500k followers. But yes 'whatever get feeling you've made your mind up Graham Linehan @Glinner 2h @_andrew_griffin I didn't include your username and you should be thankful I didn't Andrew Griffin@_andrew griffin 2h @Glinner that sounds fairly menacing Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h _andrew griffin ha. Try being Zoe Quinn. My point is I could have tweeted yr username and I didn't because you would have had many more わ ★ Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h @_andrew_griffin than me telling you what a disaster that piece was. Andrew Griffinandrew_griffin 1h @Glinner I'm not even going to bother with how crass your first sentence is. Re the rest: yes, I understood what you meant Andrew Griffin_andrew griffin 1h @Glinner and that's why it was threatening: "you should be thankful I went easy on you because I could have done more" is a threat Graham Linehan @Glinner 1h @_andrew_griffin again, try being Zoe Quinn if that's your threshold. You wouldn't last an hour under her circumstances. Andrew Griffin_andrew_griffin 1h @Glinner this is so, so crass. I'm not engaging with it, sorry

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. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [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

I'm not sure if there is another famous Robespierre, but there Robespierre was the Leader of the French Revolution and Basically accused a shit-ton of people for Treason. And he did this so often that one time, after he told everyone he would soon Publish a List of very Important Traitors, all of his former Friends went Nuts, thinking they could be among them and basically got rid of Robespierre really fast via Guillotine.
