Apparently my friend said that Arin Hanson/Egoraptor is Anti-GamerGate, this true?

Hey #Gamergate #StopGamerGate2014 both read pls. Read: [url]http://tl.gd/n_1sd26u2[/url][/quote][/quote] She has a strong suspicion about who spammed Quinn's real dox on 8chan.

And Amy's Baking Company, I doubt him about that but I'm not sure about Arin.

[QUOTE=Xonax;46253455]Apparently my friend said that Arin Hanson/Egoraptor is Anti-GamerGate, this true?[/QUOTE] Yes, but for the most part he's just ignoring it hard.

[QUOTE=Phycosymo;46253209]Tech Blogger who dresses like a Redneck[/QUOTE] I agree with you, but what? :v: I believe Arin just doesn't care enough to delve into this and trusts the hugbox.

[QUOTE=Xonax;46253545]Wait I am confused, was it Zoe, Nick or the person Nick sent the info to.[/QUOTE] Either of the latter, it wasn't a fake-dox either but seemingly fairly detailed.

So technically Nick? [editline]16th October 2014[/editline] But why are peeps on the twitter post saying it was Zoe?

It certainly could work.

She sounds like a whiny spoiled teenager that isn't getting her way. I am far from perfect, but when you are faced with such a crushing force of information, then it is time you reflect your character a little.

Some guy on a backwater rpg forum made a fucking good analysis of what gamergate is really all about while debunking a lot of claims of the anti GG-side. Linked because it is really, really, long. [url]http://i.imgur.com/reeaFUz.png[/url]

[QUOTE=ZuXer;46254035]Uhh [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/0mMs4GO.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] This is the main difference between GG and AGG On the GG side the assholes are all anonymous nobodies, while on the AGG side the assholes saying things like "GG is ISIS" and "GGers are to blame for themselves getting death threats" or "We should bring back bullying and shame nerds" range from well known internet personalities to people in considerably high places and lots of journalistic power.

[QUOTE=ZuXer;46254035]Uhh [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/0mMs4GO.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] I still can't put into words how fucking hilariously dumb the whole insult your target audience thing is. I know games have grown from what they were 10-20 years ago, but they wouldn't be here, and won't continue existing if it wasn't for the people he thinks should be bullied out of them. I swear to god that the objective of some of the antiGG people is to stop the gaming industry from existing, not make it an inclusive place.

[QUOTE=ZuXer;46254035]Uhh [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/0mMs4GO.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] Of fucking course the SJWs go out of their way to harm people who need it the most while it is the month where their suffering should be prevented. Remember how Devin Faraci tried to raid wizardchan on World Suicide Prevention Day? Being rotten to the core is nothing new for them, but it is okay because we are supposed to be the bad guys. Their way of thinking sickens me.

Sam Biddle is just an asshole.

I bet the advertisers would love to see that. It'd be pretty hard to support a site when it literally says "I support bullying".

Someone want to make up a meme poster out of that guys tweet ,its anti bullying month and I need a good example of bullying ,prejudice,and harrasment to spread around. Normally I'm against trying to cost people their jobs Hell with Donglegate I felt bad both sides lost their jobs.This guy earns a special spot for ducking trying to legitimize bullying of a loosely defined group of people.It makes my blood boil.

[QUOTE=ZuXer;46254035]Uhh [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/0mMs4GO.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE]This is when you go to his site's advertisers and say "hey, this dude supports bullying of people he disagrees with, and none of his editors are calling him out." Watch how fast the ads get pulled.

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;46249533]Yeah I'm pretty sure even suggesting you're involved in a raid is bannable on SA.[/QUOTE] Not really. It's just HOW you raid that determines what happens. [editline]16th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Xonax;46253545]Wait I am confused, was it Zoe, Nick or the person Nick sent the info to.[/QUOTE] the LW doxx info was sent to another person who used said exact information and they apparently match up perfectly, which implies lw doxxed herself in order to gain sympathy, which means as much people would like to move on, this is part and parcel behavior of #AGG.

[QUOTE=Xonax;46255185]Who is LW?[/QUOTE] Literally Who, also apparently called Zoe Quinn.

She makes mention that the original dox at the start had a lot of evidence that Zoe did it herself, but that camera lady couldn't prove it without legitimately doxxing her. But someone else came to her recently having found the same info she did originally, but when camera lady told them off, they gave it to someone else and one of the two of them, or plausibly both, did the dox attack on 8chan last night. People just keep focusing on the fact that the original Zoe dox at the beginning was probably done by Zoe herself, which most people could tell was likely the case at the time anywa . [editline]16th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Xonax;46255185]Who is LW?[/QUOTE] Its just Zoe Quinn but some people are just stuck in some bad spy thriller and think she needs a codename.

So, The Flounce, the host of my Harassment & Abuse Apologism article, was just DDoSed today. This was right after one of our editors published a pro-feminist, pro-NYS, pro-GG piece: [url]http://theflounce.com/tits-gtfo-editorial-gamergate-notyourshield/[/url] My editor is a feminist pro-GGer, and our head editor is a feminist writer who is calling out bullshit from antiGG side, and has been supportive of GG concerns. It's a shame. I feel like the antiGG side weaponizes feminist issues in order to silence GG, instead of allowing all sorts of feminists to come to the table and share their views.
