gamergate's really hit the bigtime now with its very own svu episode:
According to fan blog All Things Law and Order, an episode of Law & Order: SVU titled "Intimidation Game" will air next month. The episode covers a woman game developer who is preparing to launch her first game only to be met with "a stream of online insults, intimidation and death threats from the male-dominated gaming community." Another woman developer is assaulted at a gaming convention, leading to intervention from series mainstay Detective Tutuola (played by Ice-T).

i'll be super-disappointed if this doesn't include a scene where munch asks a davis aurini analogue why he has so many skulls in his apartment.

Ice-T's a massive gamer, isn't he?
― #Research (stevie), Friday, 30 January 2015 10:46 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i think he is. i'm sure he'll be getting sealioned by gamergaters asking for his REAL opinion on ethics in games journalism in no time.

The pathetiness of all of this was really driven home when they started attacking Tyler White lately for dating a Ubisoft "PR Girl", as one idiot blog described her. The tone of everything was at such breathlessness belying the fact that they'd all talked about it on podcasts & elsewhere for a good three years running.

Munch retired, iirc :(

a little help with your post: who are the they who were attacking, who is Tyler White, what would an Ubisoft PR Girl be, what was the person really, what was the breathless everything (was it all blogposts? or directed attacks? or), and who are the they that were talking about it* on podcasts for three years? it's kinda opaque!
*p sure this is the relationship that may or may not exist between Tyler White and a girl

GamerGate / PC Gamer writer, actual surname Wylde / PR is a shorthand (or 'acronym') for Public Relations / Anne Marie Lewis, Communicaitons Specialist at Ubisoft and blogger on their blog / breathlessness was imgurs, reddit threads, 8chan, all sites of GG activity, quickly stepping up and then slowwly stepping down from the claim that PC Gamer were deleting the offending articles - not sure about directed attacks but wouldn't surprise me / they in this are I assume Tyler and Anne Marie, though I hadn't heard about podcasts.

i had to stop reading that article it was upsetting me

matt binder tweeted out the vid of the 'street racer' dude, he just sounds legit medically delusional. though idk what kind of traction that guy really has within the community
the endless energy, though, that the the major figures have for harassment of really minor internet people is just fucked up
who can read these things w/o wincing, let alone following along? truly will never get it.
― goole, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:39 (nine years ago) link
i mean, given what we've seen delusional ppl do in america in the last 10 years, shootings wise, does it matter what kind of cred he has in #gg? this stuff sets ppl in motion and there's no way of controlling the consequences, they sure as hell won't do anything but encourage him
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah true, i was just saying. my (weak) understanding (from gawker comments lol) is that the guy is kind of an established internet crazy person?
you are right about the danger, absolutely.
― goole, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:47 (nine years ago) link
The car crash video is insane.
― how's life, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:54 (nine years ago) link
It's especially weird since there's this entire "humor" these guys claim to have, like counter-troll trolling, and all these weird references, and it's completely inscrutable. It makes it nearly impossible to figure out what claims are from the mentally ill, which ones are from teens who have no concept of reality, or a bizarre combination.
There are plenty of comments acting as if this guy rolling a car is hilarious, mocking him but at the same time nodding to the fact he's saying all the right memes.

good lord that guy is genuinely fucking crazy
― the plight of y0landa (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 20:36 (nine years ago) link
it's a weird mixture of things... watching that video i get the sense that he's 90% joking/putting on a character for the entertainment and approval of the faceless mass of 8channers he doesn't know but desperately wants that approval/infamy/personal encyclopediadramatica page or w/e -- that's the impression i get from tons of chan/reddit nerds that i've witnessed, not uncommon in internet communities but a lot worse in internet communities built around totally lonely angry boys
but then there's that extra 10% driving him above and beyond and it's combination terrifying/sad as fuck
― qualx, Wednesday, 4 February 2015 00:08 (nine years ago) link
damned if i'm going to link it, but did you watch that video where he has a "duel of honor" where he and a friend slapfight and nunchuk beat some rando? i made it to the part where he puts a gun to his head and starts screaming about a citizens arrestgenuinely fucking crazy.
