Well, apparently the interview that was done was taken down, I'm gonna try to find an archive of it, and the whole story about why it was, just cleaned up the link so no one tries to find it.

Felicia Day speaks out against GamerGate

She was doxxed in her comments that are now deleted.

TRIGGER warning, massive wall of text

Gamergate as Kulturkampf

If you find this interesting, the Scott Alexander linked from there is someone I recommend as further reading.

In France, "Arrêts sur image" (an independant media about medias) has just released a show about Gamergate with local folks such as mar_lard, the French Anita Sarkeesian. First part is online, you have to pay for the rest

BTW, I got temp banned again on a forum for saying about the guy on her left: "In prison, he's the kind of guy who does the coffee and the blowjobs" :)

EDIT: I've watche the entire vid, so some quotes from the French AS :

- about "notyourshield": "just like racists when they say : I'm not racist, I've black friends"
- about women doing videos defending GG : "the useful idiots" (with references to "women against feminism")
- citing the bomb threat against the speech of AS and associating every GG'ers with it even when the others around the table try to reason her.
- The invited GG'er says that everyone can claim himself from the GG as they use hashtag (due to how twitter works) and she replies : "so I can say you sleep with the neonazis"
-"There is no anti-GG movement, there is only the GG and the rest of the world" (said on vehement tone...)
- Nearly breaking some nerves and crying when defending Ian Miles Cheong (I laughed at this moment)
- Near the end, when talking to the GG'er : "inviting you on this set is like inviting a neo-nazi"

Overall, she really appeared as a depressed and hysteric poor woman who interrupts other people a lot when they're speaking. Normally, she will write something about the vid soon....

A gawker editor writes a really stupid article calling gamergate fascists. It's hard to believe the article isn't that stupid on purpose.

Huh, just like in the United States then. That's the exact sort of thing I noticed from GG's detractors as well
What a curious phenomenon.

This is the sort of stuff that's going to find it's way into text books on sociology.
Ironically, for someone who hates neo-nazis she had no problem defending an actual neo-nazi.

In retrospect, she finds she didn't defend Ian Miles Cheong well, so she'll also write to take his defense:

BTW, another journalist from CPC tried a joke on her and that didn't go too welll :)

Someone inpersonated her on the GK forum, it's a fake obviously but it made me smile :)
See pic attached (original message was deleted)

What I find really interesting is how blind this guy is and how stupid the supporters are. They engage in the same stupid bs they are complaining about, i.e. name-calling, calling people fascists, forming forums to create a strategy to "combat" the evil Gamergate. The truth is closer to they are Gamergate too (the worst parts that is).

When social justice warriors form organizations, encourage people to write letters to advertisers encouraging them to put their ads from misogynistic products. Look up Terry Rakolta...
They are heroes for freedom! Freedom fighters!

If Gamergate contacts advertisers pointing out how people like Leigh Alexander uses racist names for gamers, they are assholes. It's like any silly war, each side props themselves up as the good guys no matter what despicable actions they engage in

But good for Gawker, I hope they are really happy throwing away more advertiser dollars by printing more non-journalistic trash...did they ever consider that the advertiser may have pulled out because they thought there was actually something wrong with the way Gawker did their business?

A small thing easily missed, a response to the Chris Kluwe piece.

This is one of the most incredible videos I've seen come out of this thing. That's no small feat for a video comprised solely of a person talking into a camera.

This is worth checking out

Turns out Nathan Grayson is acknowledged in the HTML credits dated Feb 2013 and apparently had tested what he described as a very early version of the game, so much earlier than that. He was credited in the section, "Special thanks for their amazing support during a really difficult time. This game would have been dead in the water months ago without you all." Also in the credits, Ian Miles Cheong

This was a great view! She doesn't even like video games but she is a feminist and a mom with children on the spectrum. She has had enough of her and her children being vilified by SJWs, by Gawker and by MSM.

A relatively neutral article:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/10/24/how-some-gamergate-supporters-say-the-controversy-could-stop-in-one-week/

A good article but not so neutral:

http://porlawright.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/gamergate-the-players-and-the-played/

I'm with the commenter who said: "Let's officially accept her as Based Mom II." :)

Thanks for the link!

Interesting article, tho the real joy is to be found in the comments. There's a couple hours worth of reading discussion about GamerGate as it relates (or doesn't) to politics. Lots of talk about the "authoritarianism vs. libertarianism" angle of things and how GamerGate is awakening some to the dangers of the radical left.

Fair warning: Social Matter can be shocking in some aspects of their brand of conservatism. Do not construe my link as an endorsement of the site: I visited for the first time tonight and do not venture an opinion of the site as a whole yet.

A gem from the comments section:

"The articles were a colossally stupid mistake that showed just how the gaming media despised its own customers and were colluding in private to push one narrative: They thought we were Mountain Dew guzzling, stupid white males who needed to die.

In reality gaming is (and had been from the beginning) one of the most diverse and welcoming communities – lots of socially excluded people found a refuge in it precisely because it accepted ANYONE.

But that didn’t matter. We were an easy mark and this bunch of rich white San Francisco trust fund babies were going to bully us into submission.

Their mistake turned us into a clan (gaming term) and then we did what we do best: we turned it into a game. Gaming is full of people who play to win, and play UNTIL they win."
