just ask milo, he can set you right or whatever
We recommend Milo Yiannopoulos, an established journalist who can correct these misguided assertations, as the point of contact.

ugh shame on his friends for encouraging his crazy stalker nonsense
After crafting the post for weeks, Gjoni shared his polished draft with about a dozen friends—mostly female game developers—as well as his mother, and asked them to weigh in on whether he should unleash it. He says about 10 of them gave him the green light. His mother, he claims, reluctantly approved, but was “very worried that I was going into it overly emotional.” One Gjoni friend I spoke with, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, said, “I felt it was healthy to get it out there…. What harm would it do to get his feelings out?”

Kluwe concluded it’d be wise to start a war with a man who writes 5,000 words a day and practices Gorilla Mindset principles. This was a disastrous mistake on Kluwe’s part. The more Kluwe threw at me, the more I laughed.

bomb threat against a GG meetup in a DC bar last night. fucking gross.
― goole, Sunday, 3 May 2015 00:13 (nine years ago) link
False flag, surely?
― JimD, Sunday, 3 May 2015 09:54 (nine years ago) link
well no, but they did immediately blame the threat on arthur chu. cos he had apparently emailed the bar earlier in the day telling them it was bad to host a right wing group (lol at trying to tell a DC bar to take a partisan stand on their clientele)
i'd really like to forget about this 'movement' but they are still just everywhere. a favorite ("favorite") game of mine is a little degree-of-separation check. i only really run across them on twitter since i don't go to any game webspaces anymore.
basically, if you see some dumb right wing fuckery or lunkhead #actually backtalk on twitter, check the RT and responses -- you will find GG there. conversely, if some videogame microcontroversy finds its way into your timeline, see who else is on it, pushing it -- you will find the right wing.

Not really about games (although they are involved), but definitely scary fandom stuff.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link
that's way beyond fandom; that's a sociopathic writer going after the competition!
― Nhex, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link
It wasn't just attacks on competition though, and fantasy writers tend to be immersed in fandom unless they're a huge bestseller.

favourite thing about this is owen and aurini deftly demonstrating why interviewers in documentaries rarely appear in the same shot as their interviewees, as they sit there dumbly nodding at the edge of the frame
