My interpretation of gamergate, which I was there watching it happen live, was very very different than the popular narrative about it.
But hey, what do I know, I only lived through it. I didn’t read about it through a bunch of idiot mainstream journalists who only focused on the ‘evil men vs innocent women’ narrative to score the post clicks.
A lot of the ‘harassment’ that the key female figures received, never had any evidence. I also knew Zoey Quin, I went out with her on a date in 2011. She was an absolute nutcase, probably had BPD or something. Her grasp on reality was very tenuous before gamergate, so I doubt anything she said about those event was remotely truthful. And I’m sure her boyfriend there was also equally mentally ill.
yeah, it was me all along. I did gamergate. the entire thing. and yeah I openly admit it to everyone, and they congratulate me on my genius. I am Zoey Quinn and her boyfriend, and all the journalists, reporters, and police sergeants invovled we’re all the same person.
Do you also know QAnon? Are you a flat-earther? Religious young earth creationist? Ancient alien conspiracist? Jordan Peterson/Joe Rogan follower? MAGA?
I’m trying to see how much overlap there is in my venn diagram of dumbfuckery.
Oh, no. I lived in Berlin studying German for a year, which makes me a Nazi who workships Hitler right?
Because what upstanding person would ever learn German if they weren’t a nazi? I mean, Nazis spoke German, so clearly anyone who speaks it is a Nazi too.
Because you know, learning a second language is only what dumbfucks do. Smart people know English is the only real language good people can ever speak.
Gamergate was literally manufactured by Steve Bannon and is part of the Epstein emails. You’re absolutely an idiot if you buy into any of it, and you’re unhinged for lying about knowing personally all the key players, very conveniently I might add. Basically you’re entirely full of shit.
Right, it’s me that’s the conspiracy theorist though. Not you. You’re very smart and it’s all Steve Bannon. He even paid Zoey Quinn to make that game, and all the journalists involved.
Was he also bankrolling Bryanna Wu? I’m sure you have hard evidence of all of this. Because you’re very smart, and I am very dumb and a liar.
The similarities between Gamergate and the far-right online movement, the “alt-right”, are huge, startling and in no way a coincidence. After all, the culture war that began in games now has a senior representative in The White House. As a founder member and former executive chair of Brietbart News, Steve Bannon had a hand in creating media monster Milo Yiannopoulos, who built his fame and Twitter following by supporting and cheerleading Gamergate. This hashtag was the canary in the coalmine, and we ignored it.

Lest we forget, Gamergate was an online movement that effectively began because a man wanted to punish his ex girlfriend. Its most notable achievement was harassing a large number of progressive figures - mostly women – to the point where they felt unsafe or considered leaving the industry. Game developer Zoe Quinn was the original target. Anita Sarkeesian’s videos applying basic feminist theory to video games had already made her a target (because so many people have a difficulty differentiating cultural criticism from censorship) but this hate was powerfully amplified by Gamergate – leading to death threats, rape threats, and the public leaking of personal information. Other notable targets included developer Brianna Wu, actor Felicia Day, and prominent tech-culture writer Leigh Alexander, whose provocative article on the tyranny of “game culture” offered stark warnings that still resonate powerfully: “When you decline to create or to curate a culture in your spaces, you’re responsible for what spawns in the vacuum.”
This is well documented. Why don’t you put aside your biases for a moment and actually read into it?
Considering that gamergate was literally used to bolster the alt-right movement and get young men to support fascism, your comparison to Nazi Germany is pretty apt hahaha

Oh holy shit you’re literally a gamergater. Fuckin, and you just admit that to people? You’re literally the guy in the fuckin meme, holy shit.

You’re fuckin unhinged kid. I don’t think women are safe around you.
Yeah a lot of very mentally unwell folks tell me that. Then they turn out to be people who SA women, and men. Funny how that works.

You’re Steve Bannon, too?! Wow. Really honing that gamer gate controversy to rally large swaths of men into the alt-right pipeline.
I don’t believe a single word of this comment, but especially that you went on a date with Zoey Quin.
I bet he went to high school with QAnon.
