You targeted gamers. Gamers.

what exactly do you think gamergate was?

Go home gamer girl.

What kind of childish stereotyping is this shit?

Generalizing a group of people based on the actions of a mostly anonymous few. Thats a bold move.

It made me realize zoey quinn was a complete piece of shit sorry i can't remember was it gamers or zoey quinn that stole 80,000 from the woke brigade.

do people actually think they come across as the big mean bully that beat them up in school when they insult gamers on gamefaqs.gamespot.com

Showed how immature gamers can be and how toxic they can be.

Seriously, the fact that sheeple are so easily swayed about what things are astounds me. They will proudly claim they are intellectual elite when they are so gullible to buy whatever the latest story is.

GamerGate was a woman banging a couple guys in the video game reporting world to have them give positive reviews and support to her shitty game. Full stop.

Not as toxic as all the Zoe Quinn supporters that were outed as sexual predators.

You act like we're not gamers too. As if maybe we only wasted even more of our childhoods with you creeps we'd get the full picture.

by all means, prove me wrong. That was what it was initially. It was then allowed to morph and change into multiple various stories, but doesn't change fact; that is what GamerGate was. Kind of like how PizzaGate was about coded messages in the Podesta emails and with a quick spin, was changed to a pizza parlor in DC. Or how the alt-right were a bunch of fun loving meme shitposters who triggered CNN, so CNN snatches up a nobody with a couple hundred views on youtube, Richard Spencer, and crowns him the leader of the alt-right, thereby dubbing the alt-right nazis by guilt of association; all because of that Trump takedown Vince McMahon with CNN logo on his face making them butthurt.

You sure you want to double down on TCs bullshit? You best remember it then the next time you get upset because somebody pulled out statistics for their own generalizations.

I thought GG started when someone aired their dirty laundry about their experience, and the internet went all mob justice.

"Yeah my ex is totally spreading her legs so get a positive review of her game"

Am I mistaken?

No, the harassment campaign against her came first. The sex for reviews accusations were made up stories to distract from that. The reviews literally don't even exist. You're the gullible one.

No you're right, but it wasn't the ex who made that accusation.

And incredibly racist to the point they could give the KKK a run for its money.

Made me realize how ignorant people are.

Sure. None of the guys she was accused of having sex with actually reviewed her game. The closest thing to a review she got was one guy gave his personal best of year award to a completely different game that had nothing to do with Zoe and then at the bottom listed Depression Quest as an "Honorable Mention"

If she was trading reviews for sex it's got to be the worst fucking exchange rate I've ever heard of in my life.

Zzzz auto correct.

But yeah, it's why I never took that group seriously. That and they basically made things worse.

Like people also give Anita shit, but imagine if she was largely ignored and couldn't benefit from the "Look at all these mean people bullying me" card? She'd be rightfully lost to obscurity.

nuh-uh isn't an argument. I'm not talking about a couple people harassing her in 2013, this is a topic about GamerGate, not what preceded it. The sex for reviews accusations was the start of it. Her ex posted about it Aug. 16th, 2014. Feel free to show actual GamerGate started prior to his post.
---

Burden of proof is on you, you're the one making the accusation. And since said reviews don't exist, you can't.

Gamergate started off as being called the Quinnspiracy or something like that. That was the initial shit being spewed out.

Then Adam Baldwin retweeted some Quinnspiracy video with #Gamergate and then the real diarrhea began.

The harassment campaign did come first. Look up Zoe Quinn and Wizardchan. This was about a full year before gamer gate.

I'm going to target gamers. Gamers.

I don't know which Zoe Quinn scandal was worse, the Wizardchan "harassment" or her shutting down a female game jam and getting them blacklisted from the gaming journalist industry.

They all believed the Zoe Quinn shit because virgins don't understand you can make any ex look like a psycho

All lies.

You say this but in the email log, they state that gaming journalists refuse to research on the story on the TFYC's side and there's a link at the bottom where she jokes about how she had a conversation with some person that ended up killing TFYC's site. Also taking into account that Quinn is a master manipulator, what am I supposed to believe?

Anyone who needed gamergate to figure out how scummy gamers are is casual to the millionth degree

the first question i ask in job interviews whether or not the interviewee considers themselves a gamer

if they say yes, i immediately end the interview and tell them to leave

Don't forget she bragged about killing a guy.

It's not gamers, it's people.
That kind of thing takes two sides fighting.
