Well gosh, I didn't realize I was a racist transphobic woman hating dudebro of the fifth order of redpill. please, tell me more about myself that I didn't realize until your sterling and razor sharp observational skills can point out. Different boards exist, Marc. Let's keep the broad paintbrush of absurdity out of here. The guilt by association mindset is, frankly, stupid. You're smarter than that, act like it.

This right here basically explains the difference in our reactions: You believe the fact that Zoey Quinn sparked GamerGate is mere coincidence, whereas I think the evidence pretty clearly establishes it wasn't coincidental at all.

Right. Because Eron got together with a bunch of random folk and said, "hey, let's stir up a shitstorm. It'll be a toats awesome party, bruh." But on a more serious note, do I agree with what he did? Nope. Shit should've stayed behind closed doors. Nonetheless, I'll objectively look at it as a galvanizing moment. A stupid moment? Sure. But it is what it is, and to discount what is now with what started it all is a tad silly.

Edit: I'm going to pull out of the conversation for the time being due to being called in at work unexpectedly on my day off. Carry on, folks.
