Doxing Victim Zoe Quinn Launches Online "Anti-harassment Task Force"
AmiMoJo writes: On Friday, developer and doxing victim Zoe Quinn launched an online "anti-harassment task force" toolset, staffed by volunteers familiar with such attacks, to assist victims of a recent swell of "doxing" and "swatting" attacks. The Crash Override site, built by Quinn and game developer Alex Lifschitz, offers free services from "experts in information security, white hat hacking, PR, law enforcement, legal, threat monitoring, and counseling" for "victims of online mob harassment."
They have already managed to preemptively warn at least one victim of a swatting attempt in Enumclaw, Washington. As a result, the police department's head e-mailed the entire department to ask any police sent to the address in question to "knock with your hand, not your boot."

you misspelled "doxxing perpetrator"
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
She doxxed and harassed the shit out of people before all of this happened. She's an oldschool SA forum troll. She's no fucking saint.
Don't like what they say?
They have flat out said that DOXXING is acceptable, that it's only a matter of wrong targets, not methods.
Hell, ZQ has retweeted doxxes of Wiki editors, including trans minors.

The referenced doxx (censored):

OR how as part of the gag order, she claimed that Gjoni spread internet links to nude pictures of her, while failing to mention these were images she had made public of her own volition, while working as a model/camgirl.
And claimed that he and Milo, are part of some professional doxxing organization, despite in reality they had never spoken prior to GG.

can you link to a review of DepressionQuest that Zoe got in exchange for sex? No, because that review does not exist. It never happened.
A quick google search returns the following:

I don't make any claim whatsoever about whether thats factual or a fabrication, but Zoe Quinn rises all flags for professional con artist.
Yep, the 'feminist' game jam where the woman involved doesn't learn anything about how to code games at all, and is allowed to just submit an idea while men do all the work for her, because she shouldn't worry her pretty little head about the hard code stuff, right?
The same feminist game jam that she did not, in fact, shut down - she linked to it on Twitter and it went down due to traffic. That hasn't stopped them from trying to exploit that for publicity, of course. /v/ and /pol/ only helped fund it to try and 'gotcha' Zoe in the middle of her being harrassed and threatened by the exact same boards.
Don't have to listen to me though - her side of the story is documented here. It paints a very different picture than your average Gamergate proponent would have you believe.
I don't think we're talking about the same thing at all.
Most SJWs are somewhat counter-intuitively white men. Which is hilarious, because they're generally working against their better interest.
Take the submitter of this article, AmiMoJo. He's a white British man (no doxxing here, that's according to his own posts). Yet here he is, on Slashdot, fighting the "good fight" against the "evil white men" who rule the world. Pretty much all of the other persistent SJWs here have also outed themselves as being white men.
I mean, sure, there are women SJWs and minority SJWs too (and minority women SJWs), but most of the SJWs you encounter will be white men trying to make up for their white male guilt that they themselves are trying to force on everyone.
It's even funnier when you realize a common complaint of feminists are men who try and "speak for them" and the majority of the Internet feminists you find will be men speaking for women.
The Underground Railroad was run by abolitionists. Even John Brown, bombthrower though he may have been, was not an SJW. "Social Justice" is all this shit about privilege and oppression olympics and progressive stack. It holds that discrimination against a privileged group (white males) is not only benign but beneficial and that members of that group should shut up and accept it as their due.
The irony in your post is highly amusing. The old everyone that says something different to me is an intolerant ignorant asshole, but I am just a confident person with a view that is different to yours. Your attitude is the problem and sadly I don't think you are capable of even seeing the ignorance and intolerance you are displaying all the while saying how much you hate it.
the central allegation of "corrupt media" in GG was a falsehood. the original thing where "zoe quinn slept with some guy from some games mag in order to get a good review" falls flat because the guy never wrote an article about zoe's game! just a lot of hate.
after a brief google, information points to it being a scam, and information also points to it being legitimate and scam info being bogus. So...

Perhaps the real reason AAA hasn't been hit by this is because when people accuse them of this shit they don't throw a fit, call their consumers msygonistic shitlords, start printing out articles about how they are dead as well as try to censor everyone on multiple websites.
Really, this could have died out in it's infancy if moot didn't ban discussion on 4chan. it could have died out if Nathan Grayson had of admitted it and said my bad like PCGamer recently did. Instead the so called games media acted in the most aggressive and juvenile way possible and they have gotten aggressive and juvenile back.
Also I know you don't care about this because it's pretty obvious you're going to keep thinking the way you do but Nathan Grayson spoke glowing of a game that he was thanked for in the credits, apparently he helped with the beta. That should have been disclosed.
This isn't about SJWs its about online harassment. Seriously go look up /baphomet/ on 8chan and see whats going on (And yes I realise bap is not gamergate, but there sure is a lot of crossover in targets). People have been killed because of swatting.
Fighting back against peoples lives being fucked up and even ended by chan dwelling bullies isn't being an SJW, its called being an adult.
Excuse the Unicode crap in my posts. That's an apostrophe, and slashdot is busted.
> because the guy never wrote an article about zoe's game! Yes he did. http://wiki.gamergate.me/index... FFS, he's even in the credits for the game. http://theralphretort.com/zoe-...
Don't forget she was also caught retweeting offers from GNAA trolls to pay for fake harassment tweets directed against her.
Strange sentence. What do you mean by "caught"? If someone offers to pay for harrassment tweets, that's highly damning and any victim of this would make it known as widely as possible. I would have said "She cleverly fought back against the GNAA trolls by retweeting their offers to pay for fake harrassment tweets directed against her".
I'm really tired of that line, "Doesn't mean she deserves harassment"
I've been in GamerGate now for almost six months. What I've seen is people like Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, Anita Sarkeesian and Randi Harper harassing people then claiming they're the ones being harassed. Other than Anita Sarkeesian, I'd never heard of any of these other people before GamerGate.
Wu for example, created a twitter account BROLOLZ and used it to mock and harass GamerGate back in the beginning. When no one responded she created the "Oppressed Gamer" meme. Someone took that meme and ran with it, then she claimed people using her meme was harassment. Then she got threats from a zero day twitter account called "DeathToBrianna", there was no mention of GamerGate, but she screen capped it and sent it flying around twitter as evidence GamerGate had a hate on for her, that's what got her on a media tour.
I don't believe anyone deserves harassment, but what I'm seeing is people purposely going in and kicking bee hives, then calling for the extermination of bees when they get stung by a wasp. It's ridiculous, the media is eating it up and plastering it all over as, "these poor, poor innocent souls."
So yeah, I'm about to victim blame. If you poke a bear, it's your fault if you get bitten. I've lost all sympathy for people living under the double standard that it's ok for them to lie, cheat, steal, defame, dox, harass and threaten people, but then turn around and play the victim and advertise their patreons.

Randi Harper (antagonist, creator of the GGAutoblocker blocks GamerGate, which is fine. Continues to tweet at GamerGate and bullied an anti-GamerGate person off twitter for not being anti enough):

Zoe Quinn (abuser, antagonist, liar, trust fund baby. Frankly we'd all be happier NOT talking about her because she's not relevant beyond the people that were involved around her [journalist, indi devs, indi judges], but every time she's forgotten she pulls some crap like this article to reinsert herself. She got in a twitter slap fight with Brianna Wu over who was the most harassed):

Brianna Wu (antagonist, liar, trust fund baby. She answered someone questioning her saying GamerGate was only 350 people with, "Thanks for the sexists remark" and accused David Pakman of running a hit piece on her for asking her how she knew it was GamerGate harassing her:

^ this ^ is what a professional victim looks like.
I got into GamerGate because I was tired of the media BS about gamers being cis-white-male shitlord misogynerds. I won't lie, in the beginning, I didn't think GamerGate was important, it's about frigg'n video games. I thought it'd be like a week long thing, we'd write some letters to advertisers and the journalist involved would just apologize for being idiots, but it's just been one thing after another after another. The opposition to GamerGate is full of ex-neo-naizs (Ian Miles Cheong), pedophiles (Shara Butts), animal abuses (Randi Harper, Shara Butts), rape apologists (Author Chu) and professional victims (Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, Zoe Quinn, Randi Harper, Grace Lynn) all sexists, racist, homophobic, hateful people who pretend to have the high moral ground because they alone are allowed to speak for women and minorities (Look up #NotYourShiled). All pointing fingers at a largely harmless group of people that are just tired of being demonized for a hobby that doesn't hurt anyone, and the media eats it up. You can look into the background of just about any of the major GamerGate "targets" and se
