Done absolutely nothing to stop it? GamerGate rooted out one of Anita's harassers and gave her his info. GamerGate has a harassment patrol that actively reports abusers. Maybe you should look at your own perception and realize that you're focusing on the 1% that is bad and ignoring the 99% that isn't?
- hyugh 12y agoSo you're saying GamerGate proceeded to dox someone it didn't like and gave that person's info to Anita? Yeah, good job differentiating "criticism" and "abuse" in that example. Who cares about the 99% that is good when GamerGate is continually defined, in every Google search, every Twitter search, every news article in well-known international journalist papers does nothing except point out the continual stream of violent, sexist, and disgusting rhetoric and vitriol come from the hashtag? Let me give you a piece of advice: if you don't want to be affiliated with the harassment aspect of GamerGate, stop affiliating yourself with GamerGate. Because there is literally no one else outside of GamerGate itself who thinks it's about anything other than harassment.
- swatow 12y agoYou seem to have moved the goalposts here, from actually being responsible for abuse, as a group, to being perceived as being abusive.
- GamerGirl 12y agoAnd strike 2. The "Gamergate harassment patrol" operates like the "firemen" from Farenheit 451. They actively seek out new twitter users to harass, particularly those who call them out for doing so. By all means keep trying to hold up terrible people as examples of "the good ones" though. It's entertaining.
