Game dev Brianna Wu on what it's like to be forced from your home by sexist hate

Well now @christaylor is suspended until July 31, 2288! To be honest, I’m not sure if I can wait that long.

Surely there is some Made for TV product that could help these poor ladies.

Right, her observations seem pretty basic to me; sounds a lot like when my daughter and I watch tv together actually. I noticed that over time she worked harder to make her connections more and more explicit. I was a philosophy major so I am impressed with how she made her arguments; she connects point to point and also spells out, hey, I can like a movie even if it has terrible female character writing, or a game, and then there is always a call to action. I don’t think she’s covering new ground, but she’s articulate and is reaching an audience that obviously didn’t think about this stuff ever, evidently.

math is hard

In case it hasn’t popped out for anyone else 4chan is actively shutting down gamergate conversations and the gamergaters have moved to 8chan.

Think about something so stupid and egregious that 4CHAN wants no part of it.

If getting disavowed by 4chan isn’t a wake-up call, I don’t know what is.

I once heard someone define “ideology” as taking evidence against your beliefs as evidence for your beliefs.

Well, when you’re taking on a victim mentality the way the gamergate folks are, it’s just one more sign that you are fighting the good fight - it’s just proving what you already know - everybody is out to get you!

You’d think that when even your supposed fellow victims are turning away from you, you’d realize you’re doing something wrong. But I suppose they see the policy as something being imposed “from on high” that doesn’t represent “the will of the people” or something.

Yup. The SJWs have somehow gotten to the 4chan admins!

But then you have the cognitive dissonance of trying to explain how it is that 4chan even still exists, were that the case… :wink:

Damn right you won’t!
