the harassment campaign against @sarahjeong is an obvious result of the several companies empowering the gamergate crowd by firing people that they target in obviously bad faith
it fucking sucks that people of color are expected to apologize for saying that white people suck, too. racism is power + prejudice, you don't actually hurt anybody by saying the dominant group that is marginalizing you is trash

it's cool that we've switched from the "is dolphin fucking ok" conversation that was kind of horrible but stuck in a horrible corner you could ignore to "everybody has seen that tweet about fucking whales" but I'm not sure where we go next
there's nothing bigger than that
like you have to combine it with time travel discourse to get weirder ethics of bestiality conversations

i love how every dumbass freeze peach jackass does the "you need to be exposed to other opinions!!!!!!" thing whenever someone wants to deplatform some racist or transphobe as if the bigot in question has something new to say
"you just don't want to be exposed to people with different opinions than you! not like me, a super enlightened person who wants to hear 50 different people make jokes about non-binary genders that are exactly the same. fucking echo chambers"
"i believe in free speech, which is why i think that marginalized people who point out that the things i like are tedious dogshit should have to deal with a bunch of creeps whose twitter feed is indistinguishable from that of a mass shooter screaming at them"

More than 4 years after it started, I often hear people ask what #GamerGate is, and many around them won't know, either. I’ve been part of GamerGate since August 2014, so I can provide a summary of it. 1/
An anti-gamer bias was present in the media long before GamerGate, with Grand Theft Auto being blamed for mass shootings, and gamers being called "entitled" for disliking the poorly rebooted DmC. The strongest anti-gamer stance was taken by journalists at gaming publications 2/
like Kotaku, Polygon, Ars Technica, Gamasutra, among others. No one expected gaming outlets to bear so much hatred toward video game culture when Eron Gjoni's famous blog post went public. Eron described his struggle with his then girlfriend, Zoe Quinn, who had gaslighted him 3/

If you're fucking sick of hearing so much about left-wing antisemitism, think how fucking tired its victims are of being on the receiving fucking end of it.
And if you think complaints about left-wing antisemitism are part of some kind of conspiracy to cover up complaints of other kinds of racism or forms of bigotry, guess what, you sound pretty indistinguishable from an antisemite, however "woke" you are.
Absolutely true that antisemitism isn't the only form of bigotry or hypocrisy on the left - various people &/or publications decry some kinds of antisemitism but not others, or are actively transphobic or racist in other ways. That's not an excuse to be same.

You'd think that Comic Art Festival in Kendal, last year overreacting to the criticism about their all white lineup, engaging in overt & casual islamophobia, enacting a harassment campaign against one of the most talented people in UK comics

wouldn't invite comicsgate this year.
I mean you might think that. But I don't know why the fuck you would.

Because of course they have.

"Hey so we now have the stench of racism hanging around our name, why not invite some vocal members of a white supremacist movement?"

And I bet it'll, at best, be an "accident".
If you as a comics convention DON'T KNOW that your guests are spearheading a white supremacist and transphobic movement

You are either:

a) doing a shitty job
b) don't have any non-white or trans people on your staff
c) don't care
d)all of the above

It's d, it's 100% d.

Caricaturing concerns about the spread of deliberate misinformation – like, say, Sandy Hook conspiracy theories – as a demand to "blacklist people I don't like" is about as intellectually dishonest as it gets
This is obviously bad-faith media bashing, of the kind that I normally try not to engage – there are good-faith complaints about the press that are far more worthwhile. But the debate about Infowars is important & the idea that it just presents a different point of view is wrong.
This @McCormackJohn thread was persuasive to me – if there's an argument against banning Jones, it's not about intellectual diversity

At least three different people have asked me to look into @RealSexyCyborg 's situation. It's relevant because Sarah Jeong was involved at one point.

I'm still looking over this Medium post, but in this thread I'll try and break down what's going on. medium.com/@therealsexycy…
Before I do, I want to openly ask for anyone who has a background studying Chinese cultural affairs if they can give their two cents. I am not in any way an "expert" on that, and its a relevant piece of the puzzle here.

I'd love some input.
I mean, as a layman average joe, I can comprehend the gist of Naomi's situation in a general way. So I'll have a lot to say about that.

But before I dive head first, I want to get some second opinions.

vox.com/culture/2018/7… Excellent essay on why it matters that Mike Cernovich is arguing in bad faith and why there is never any reason to listen to him, under any circumstances, ever again, full stop, no arguments.
The rise of Trump really should be killer evidence that credibility has to have some value, that good faith has to have some value, or we are all fucking doomed.
On one hand, if I had a penny for every dude who scoffed when I said #Gamergate was a very sincere right wing movement aimed at intimidating people out of improving society. On the other hand, I’m just so fucking relieved they see it now.
