PrimeJunta Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Here's a pretty good summary. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com

Namutree Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Here's a pretty good summary. Not really. Even if you're pro-gamergate you could get the rape/death threats, and doxxed. It seems being a public figure in this issue at all can get you doxxed/threatened. Most of the trolls are third party and simply have nothing to do with either side. Edited October 26, 2014 by Namutree "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.
Namutree Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I learned something today: I f**king hate trolls! They're annoying and in the case of doxxing; dangerous. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.
Blarghagh Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I've gotten three #GamerGate related death threats on Twitter and my tweet involvement was pretty much mostly retweeting stuff Boogie and TotalBiscuit said and asking people how exactly they expected GamerGaters to police anonymous trolls any better than they could.

This will not be an answer some of the other pro-gamergate people will like, but if we want to cut down on the trolls; we need leadership. Then again; getting leadership would be tricky, and we don't need leadership to win sooo... It's not worth it. The anti-gamergate could help by not feeding them so much. I mean, MSNBC went ahead and talked about the troll who threatened Briana Wu. I am sure this was the troll's reaction: Edited October 26, 2014 by Namutree 1 "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

YOU POOR THING, YOU'VE BEEN RUN FROM YOUR HOME BY AN ANGRY MOB OF THREE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ACTIVELY ATTEMPTING TO BREACH YOUR HOME! Surely you must be in need of donations to help you get through these troublesome times.

I am sure this was the troll's reaction: Sacrificing anarchy at the alter to the trolls elevates them to gods and us to their worshipers, when you choose your shepherd you also choose your wolves, so be weary when you let someone represent you, you're not just handing over control to them, you're declaring the wolves the center of your world.

I lol'ed pretty hard at "you can tweet it like a normal person." No offense but I don't have a very high opinion of people who are on twitter all day. "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 ?

Surely you must be in need of donations to help you get through these troublesome times. I'd set up a patreon account but I'm not a minority so there'd be no takers. But my point was you don't even have to be a public figure in this debate to get harassed by trolls if you've taken a stance or said anything that can be consider pro-GG. GGers attack public figures, anti-GGers attack everyone. It's like Kazerad pointed out in his journal, GG is a movement focused on personal accountability and is focused on people, and those hardlining against it are focused on grouping and stereotyping.

I think it's not a good idea to let those who doxx get away with it. I'll be honest and say I kinda think he's bluffing about taking legal action. I wish he weren't, simply because a legal case of a GGer being doxxed by an anti-GGer would be very hard for the media to avoid covering. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far.

Blarghagh Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Not really, they haven't covered a lot of things. Phil Fish and Polytron's involvement with the Indiefensible scandal is now under investigation, but no major media site has actually mentioned it. Nope, it's about harassment.

Surely you must be in need of donations to help you get through these troublesome times. I'd set up a patreon account but I'm not a minority so there'd be no takers. Just get some doctor to declare you as suffering from some bogus syndrome or another, you visit enough of them and one will diagnose you with something. Maybe something like, Acute Defenestration Phobia (are you afraid of being thrown out of a window?). Once you've been diagnosed with something the victim flag practically applies itself. At that point, all you have to do is start planning how you'll spend all that sweet sweet victim money. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Blarghagh Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I suppose I could use my status as someone who suffered from clinical depression, but I'm pretty sure everyone would claim I self-diagnosed it. I've heard anti-GGers throw that around against Boogie's PTSD from having been abused by an alcoholic mother since childhood. There's nothing these people won't use. At this point, GG only has misogynists giving them a bad name, the opponents have literally everything else in the book. I wonder who is looking worse. If they truly believe in guilt by association, they should be joining GG pretty swiftly. TotalBiscuit speaks truth on the matter of sides, trolls and media coverage: http://blueplz.blogspot.nl/2014/10/whose-side-am-i-on.html My favourite bit (because it's what I've been saying all along): If this was never about ethics, then The Escapist, Polygon and Kotaku would not have updated their ethical policies in the wake of it. Even if you truly believe this whole thing is about "harassment", you have an opportunity to prove it by engaging with the ethical concerns. If once you have addressed these concerns harassment continues, then I promise you will have my full support in stamping out whatever toxicity remains. As it stands though, you have merely given it all the fuel it needs to grow and spread and I am thoroughly disappointed in that. 5

Free money for nothing. Even if I get no donations I don't actually lose anything. L0L And, maybe, I get lucky and I can make enough to quit my job. HA. P.S. Games aren't going anywhere. I don't need to read the article to know it's dumb. Edited October 26, 2014 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
