Keyrock Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My wacky conspiracy theory thinking goes something like this, again, keep in mind this is wild conjecture based on nothing more than gut feeling and I'm operating on less than ideal amount of sleep at this moment: SJWs realize their current plan of attack in not working and get more desperate as advertisers abandon their indoctrinated sites. They decide to hit us "where it hurts" since just smearing GamerGate in the mainstream media isn't working. Felicia Day is supposedly beloved by gamers, or something like that, so they stage an ordeal with her. They pressure her (or she does it willingly) to put out the piece she put out about being fearful and whatnot. The next day she gets "doxxed" while that piece is still fresh in everyone's mind. The info released on her is information that's been publicly available with even a small bit of digging, so she essentially "loses" nothing, but this "proves" a point about GamerGaters being willing to attack anyone, even someone "beloved" by gamers. The hope is that this outrages gamers enough to shut this down since now people they care about are getting hurt. Does that make any sense or am I simply reading too much into this and my messed up conspiracy theory mind is connecting imaginary dots?

kirottu Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 This whole Felicia Day thing smells a bit fishy, a little too convenient. That's probably my conspiracy theory brain connecting imaginary points together, though, so grain of salt, and all that. Actually if it is the "doxxing" that I witnessed, then it was an idiot who decided to prove that the information was publicly available and posted it. So it was sheer idiocy.

HoonDing Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Predictably GamersGate is getting harassed. The hilarity. Good publicity for them. It seem that Felicia's concerns getting doxxed weren't unfounded. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/23/felicia-days-public-details-online-gamergate Aw. What an awful life getting to play with all of the latest expensive digital entertainment and all the new shiny 60-dollar-a-pop gaming experiences. Poor victims. If you tried to form an actual identity outside of gaming, instead of letting digital entertainment form your identity, you might see something outside of you nonsensical victim complex. If you feel you're being marginalised for playing video-games you're either. a) Still a school kid.b) Are a grown up and hanging out with the wrong crowds.c) Mistakenly applying your marginalisation to the fact that you play video-games and thus missing some wider reason.d) Don't really understand what marginalisation is in your cozy little mod-con decked out bedroom.

Meshugger Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I, for one, do really enjoy this ride. The more mainstream media cries about misogyny, the movement gains and finds more corruption. The gaming media freaks out more and reaches again to the mainstream media, all while the GG'ers keep on grinding. It's the perfect feedback loop. 1 "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longknife Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/xrZhBTn.png Crowdfunded game with lots of support and backers just released, the lead developer is GG. Big surprise, websites like Polygon and Kotaku don't mention it's release. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?
