Zoe Quinn blows #GamerGate wide open.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

Zoe “Social Justice Rogue” Quinn has been lurking in 4Chan’s raiding IRC channels the last couple of weeks, gathering chat logs.

Turns out, the ENTIRETY of #GamerGate was completely manufactured by 4channers, and they played EVERYONE that joined in on the #GamerGate tag and the #NotMyShield tag. Everyone. None of it was true.

Favorite tweet from this? 

I make video games, did y’all really think I didn’t know how the internet works?

well this is way fucking scarier than anything else, and damn there’s enough evidence to convince me it’s true and that i was wrong in not believing zoe quinn. if she didn’t abuse anyone she hasn’t done anything wrong - video game journalism is still, however, bullshit. 

the only thing i wanna see is that the other person had video evidence of what was supposedly their former chat logs, any kind of actual video stuff in terms of evidence would even the playing field. either way this is horrifying and really fucking scary

But wait! There is a video of it!!

welp i’m sold, 4chan fooled me and is scary as hell.

Yep. It’s scary as hell, and I’ve been seeing it unfold for the past month and a half, and it’s enough to scare women out of game development, and they’ve also been driving out freelance journalists (also women) as well.

Oh, and here’s another video!

And Zoe’s going to be uploading a vid that one of her friends took while her tumblr was attacked.

i am shocked — shocked — that this was all a narcissistic power play by /b/ losers who want to feel powerful by messing with people

my favorite part is “don’t tell me you actually buy the corruption in journalism thing”

lol
