8chan said that he/she/it's a massive shitposter, so take it with a grain of salt

[QUOTE=Wii60;46372142]the more i read it the more i want to stick that mods head on a stake.[/QUOTE] Easy there, I realize that whats happened there isn't right but we have to keep cool.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;46372569]perfect moderator material.[/QUOTE] Dude, this guy is a fucking psycho. He posts in r/deathtoamerica, he plugs r/deathtoamerica, he [I]clearly[/I] hates Americans, he constantly talks down and insults people. How the fuck did this guy get mod status in the first place? It's fucking insane.

Speaking of psycho's, someone with a history of violence is threatening Christina Sommers [URL]https://twitter.com/chsommers/status/527985254192398337[/URL] I suggest reporting him using an [B]alternate email address[/B] because the guy is a nutter.

Okay, that's legit terrifying.

Surprisingly the comment section is a mixture of all three types of people. Pro, Neutral, and Anti. I figured all pro comments would never have the chance of seeing the day of light.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;46373744]Wait, why? Does Twitter show reporters' emails to the reported?[/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Zd0wzMi.png[/t] It used to say that they may send a copy of your report (including your email) to the person you're reporting.

By the way, the amount of attention Colbert Report/BBC caused : [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4IwbtV4.jpg[/IMG] Now at over 3,000,000 tweets thanks to it, two million from October alone.

[QUOTE=Luni;46374100]holy shit this guy is completely fucking crazy and the 'felony assault' part means he's the dangerous kind of crazy should we be worried?[/QUOTE] Ehhh, we had that tumblr moron who threatened people from awhile ago say the same kinda shit. Plus, someone actually doxxed themselves to call him out and he backed down.

You know, seeing all these mainstream media outlets calling the Colbert Report segment the Ultimate Defeat of #Gamergate is like seeing a World War II general reporting the liberation of South Vietnam from the Vietcong as the Ultimate Defeat of Communism.

Jesus guys. I'm at a loss. I've been trying to spread word about gamergate on facebook,and literally none of my friends care. I just keep being told to walk away from the issue. But how can I do that when so many terrible things have transpired because of the corruption at hand? I can't make anyone understand my plight, and it infuriates me to no end. What the hell can I do? I feel like I can't do anything.

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46374583][URL="https://archive.today/sj3KF"]archived[/URL]: I'm speechless.[/QUOTE] Of course they're not supposed to care. Do you really think Social Justice Warriors need to be held accountable for not caring about Social Justice? Pffft, I bet you think engineers should know how to operate machinery or farmers should know the basics of farming!
