Which is bizarre as the only doxing/death threats/rape threats/threats against family/threats against woman/bomb threats I've seen occur in GamerGate either came from those who oppose it within their little media circle clique who have an utter distaste for their audience [0] or happens to women who support #GamerGate [1].
Not to mention they've tried to fake harassment against themselves several times and have been caught red handed doing so.
>Remember, it started as a campaign to put the fear of God in Zoë Quinn.
Since when is "#FiveGuysBurgersAndFries" equivalent to "#GamerGate"? The collusion that happened so quickly after 5 guys is what led to GamerGate as everyone realized the media was in the pits together. It was definitely a catalyst for but was never the focus of. The only time I heard mention of Zoe since at least Oct. 2014 is when the paid-for Twitter spambots spam whatever WashPo article was just written about her.
Most of the people I see against #GG have little to no understanding of what it is about other than what has been parroted by the media (lol) or the Wiki article (which was hounded so hard by the clique members against #GG that some had to be banned from editing the page for doing literally hundreds of edits to bias the page. It remains biased and even cites a Kotaku article - one of the companies being rammed against by #GG.
