fauxboy: There’s a tag on twitter called...

Sep 1 2014

There’s a tag on twitter called “gamergate” where hardcore gamers are “rallying” for journalistic integrity in the gaming community.
Which really, they’re piggy backing the Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian drama to promote an idea that women who speak up in media should have solid proof of harassment before speaking up about the toxic culture of the gaming community. Which, ya’know, is kinda shitty.
Yes, there are some legit claims in the tag, but those were not what I decided to comment on. Briefly. This morning.
Which was a huge mistakeeeee. I’m now getting @replied by a buncha people who have received misinformation regarding my comments about making gaming culture more inclusive and comfortable for women. Mostly because some drama-accounts are stirring the pot by mass-hastagging out-of-context tweets I made in response to other conversations. SIGH
then, after removing myself from the conversation, I just started blocking people. Which made them more mad. Now my twitter has been posted to either 4chan or reddit and I keep receiving shitty @ messages, some of which make no bloody sense at allllllllll. (like how I’m whiteknighting to get some feminist tail, or how I’m ACTUALLY the misogynist because im blocking ladies who @ reply me shitty messages)
So uh, I’m shutting off Anons again. bc i’ve started getting them here too. Just to clue y’all in on whats going on in my neck of the woods.

wow wtf harsh i never got Twitter Targeted

maybe this will cheer you up:

“gamergate” is a real word and it literally describes a hivemind of only male drones trying to make it without any women http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate
