They'd just come out and say "Jew schools" if that's what they meant I think.

isn't 'j-schools' journalism school?

yeah, that's a standard thing

j-school is any school that starts with a j so like javelin school or jury school, of course it can also just refer to the letter j school

A friend today told me that her son, a 5th grader who has pretty much unfettered internet access, said to her, "did you know that feminists are doing lots of terrible things to people who play video games?"
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 24 November 2014 03:41 (nine years ago) link
i wonder if it is negative that many young people's first exposure to feminism will be through social media rather than wherever it is i first learned about feminism.

wikipedia probably.
so the good folks of gamergate are crowdsourcing a book that will blow the lid off the whole thing i guess? https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pVu8KX8lACSUpKaVo-_JyLDaS3m6GAyUCt_7JqcIhI/mobilebasic?pli=1
naturally it's totally batshit:
I must warn you that what you are about to read will piss you off. This is a story of an underdog fighting an underdog and both sides lose. The villains hide on both sides and the only heroes you will find are those who fight to have their defeat remembered. We have collected witnesses to recall and discuss, but most importantly document this little war that otherwise would be forgotten. We would not be forgotten in the endless sea of ones and zeroes that many other events have been dissolved by, but drowned by liars who could only just grasp the lowest bars of the social ladder.Let’s take a walk through no man’s land. What you will find here among the ash piles are evidence of lies, deception, ill-gotten gains, facades, and false morality. You will also find the mark of our footprints; the steps we took to pull back the curtain and expose the corruption around us.Dramatics aside, we have banded many together to write about the corruption of gaming journalism, social justice movements, and social media gurus. While it may seem like a “big internet fight” the repercussions of what has become known as GamerGate are much larger. What on the surface appears as nerds upset about internet politics expands to events of bribery, theft from charity, murder threats, rape, and a whole lot more.There is nothing we can do about what has already happened. The damage has been done deep. We can educate you though. We can teach you about what has happened and how to make sure it never happens again. Hold on to your seat. The ride never ends.

CH 5: Five guys. Start off with a background to gamergate. Lay the framework to explain everything that is happening. Explain that conflict started when Literally Whos ex-bf Eron went public with all that was going on. In his blog post he mentioned that Zoe (supposedly) slept with five guys for publicity and/or connections. Later on it was proven to be at least 3 guys, and only one actually mattered (no direct proof for other ones), but the important thing is that this blog post was a catalyst for what happened. While an article could be dismissed like other articles like that (I remember there being blog posts on journo insiders in 2012/2013, anyone know what it was?), it generated a wave of publicity when mundanematts video about it was DMCAd by someone claiming to be Literaly Who. People started looking into it and found a lot of shit on this - IA, mundanematt and other outspoken youtubers made videos about it and made this blow up in gaming presss face. This marked the beginning of what was called the cold war.
yeah this is the kind of stuff that will totally convince the outside world of the need for ethics in videogames journalism

if we go further down the rorschach rabbit hole, we can draw a line from rorschach to his original inspiration, steve ditko's the question. when ditko created his own fedora-wearing creator-owned version of the question, he called him
