That's why I consider #gamergate to be not just a consumer revolt but also a long-time-coming civil war inside of feminism/social justice. #gamergate is the dividing line between "feminists" like Amanda Marcotte, Lindy West, and David Futrelle who just use it as a cover to scream hate and bile and feminists who will raise $70,000 to actually *help women*.
As for footgunning themselves... The problem with SJW ideology is it's basically a cult. Combine their utter intolerance for ANY break with the "party line" with a private mailing list (The Game JournoList) and you get an extremely insular self-reinforcing clique. They didn't print the anti-gamer articles as clickbait, they did it because they genuinely believe in this twisted straw man of gamers as evil unattractive white men, and they target women/minorities supporting #gamergate for doxxing and threats because they can't handle the cognitive dissonance.
And who was it that claimed that? Oh right the people who doxxed a 14yo child. And got a black man fired. And hacked a transgender developer's financial accounts. And sent rape and death threats to a feminist supporting #gamergate. And paid the GNAA to tweet racial slurs and fake "threats".
Zoe Quinn doxxed a 14yo transgender child and a transgender developer supporting #gamergate had her financial accounts hacked. They won't foam at the mouth, they'll just consider you a gender traitor/invader and target you for even more severe abuse than everyone else. That's the problem with these people, they're cultists.
Firstly you need standing to bring a suit under the law, otherwise all you can do is report things and hope it makes it through the paperwork maze. Second... we HAVE. You'll notice @GGFeminist below had already reported her doxxing to the police by the time she posted about it.
You realise that Zoe was caught editing/faking logs, lying about 4chan threads, and even paying trolls to post fake "threats" to her on twitter along with racial slurs right? You realise even feminists consider her a domestic abuser who doxxed a 14yo transgender child and whose clique of bigots have targeted women and minorities for vicious harassment severe enough to cost people their jobs, right?
Is she murdered, tortured, and mutilated by the millions as the core mechanic designed to bring you entertainment? Is her life devalued to the point of utter disposability? Does she have absolutely no worth or value to the story whatsoever except as an object of violence?
You realise that you're talking about people who raised over $70,000 specifically for a feminist (radfems actually) to fund female game developers and get them into the industry, right? Some of the most ardent supporters of gamergate have been women, minorities, and yes feminists who are tired of seeing racists like Leigh Alexander (who calls black men racial slurs and threatens to smash glass in their faces for eyeballing her wrong) continue to use the name of "feminism" and "social justice" to cover for her bigotry.
Leigh Alexander and her ilk have been targeting women and minorities for doxxing, threats, and harassment so severe that two people (one a black game developer) have already been fired because of harassment and four more have had attempts made to get them fired. One of those was a prominent feminist supporter who received threats of mutilation and rape to her workplace. That's not even getting into the more than twelve other doxxings at this point including a transgender developer whose financial accounts were hacked. I've personally watched as a woman who built schools for little girls in pakistan tweeted about how she was afraid of reprisals for daring to be a "gender traitor". It's insane.
If you care about women's voices and prejudice you shouldn't be calling "good" a website whose editor in chief is a blatant racist that threatens black men (using a racial slur) with violence for daring to eyeball her wrong.

The administrators currently controlling the wikipedia article have openly called gamergate supporters homophobic slurs on twitter, the wiki article is worse than useless.
No, the original spark that lit the fuse on a pre-existing powderkeg was her starting a lynch mob against a forum for people with depression so severe the suicide crisis hotline is on literally every page of the website. Add in her history of domestic abuse, sexual harassment, and attempts to shut down a feminist game jam and you've got something people will want reported honestly. Instead gaming journalists colluded (as internal emails prove) to push an abusive screed against white male "basement dwellers" and "obtuse shit slingers".
Tbh i see gamergate as much as a civil war within feminism and social justice as anything else. Their first major accomplishment was raising $70,000 for TFYC's female developer game jam and an enormous number of their strongest supporters have been ardent feminists and minorities.
Gamergate is basically the dividing line between "SJWs" and people who actually care about social justice.
You don't need a carrot, just the stick. Promote a moral panic over misogyny and sell this as the solution. Any man that doesn't buy in is branded a misogynist.
He wouldn't. That's why the solution is to promote a moral panic, brand men who don't use this site as part of the problem, and then use social pressure to force the issue.
Your own posts are a case study in exactly the problem at work here: "fucking creepy vibe" "overcompensating" "manlet". Women who are single are given sympathy, men who are single are pathologized and stigmatized.
That's why you get shit like dick pictures. If no matter what someone does they're told they're perverted overcompensating predatory misogynist trash they're going to eventually decide there's no reason NOT to just go for "u want sum fuk" and be done with it.
You're conflating responsibility with actual power. Men have the *responsibility* to prove their worth to women, and are the only ones to ever bear the consequences should they fail. Women are the ones actually in *control*, and bear no responsibility whatsoever. It will always be a man's responsibility to prove he's attractive to a woman, and a man's fault if he's single.
Your beef is with women. Women use slutshaming and other forces to control other women who threaten their monopoly on social and sexual capital. A woman that doesn't maintain artificial scarcity and force men to participate in the dog and pony show damages the entire racket.

Not even close. Cracked is just siding with literal domestic abusers, racists, sexists, and transphobes who have doxxed and threatened even children.
Here are some interviews with thirteen developers, industry insiders, and the feminist group whose female game jam was almost shut down before gamergate:

Intel pulled out because Leigh Alexander is a blatant racist who doxxes people and sides with domestic abusers, other racists, and transphobic bigots.
Is she murdered, tortured, and mutilated by the millions as the core mechanic designed to bring you entertainment? Is her life devalued to the point of utter disposability? Does she have absolutely no worth or value to the story whatsoever except as an object of violence?
You're right, it's not the same at all.

The problem with protesting journalists is that journalists can and will write whatever they want about the people protesting them.
If you care about women's voices and prejudice you shouldn't be calling "good" a website whose editor in chief is a blatant racist that threatens black men (using a racial slur) with violence for daring to eyeball her wrong.

Blatant racist who doxxes people for amusement and sides with violent racist, sexist, and transphobic sociopaths... Yeah i'd said she deserves it.

No, they'll have you begging for a job flipping burgers because *they still hold all the cards*.
Your beef is with women. Women use slutshaming and other forces to control other women who threaten their monopoly on social and sexual capital. A woman that doesn't maintain artificial scarcity and force men to participate in the dog and pony show damages the entire racket.
In other words it reinforces the exact problem feminists claim to want to solve in the first place.
Hell one guy made a good one out of a single steel shovel and a few parts (barrel blank, bolt, etc).
Just install a power conditioner at your intake and call it a day if your power is that shitty. Or you live in Florida.
