And yes, I am furious about Anita's cancelled talk, about the spectre of Marc Lepine being raised over a lecture on *video games*
-
-
The fact that such basic issues of access remain such fraught battlegrounds is absolutely frightening. It terrorises *all of us.*
-
Consider the fact that GG has a list of "LWs" now. Zoe Quinn was the first, Anita the second... and the rest are *all* women.
-
The perverse damnatio memoriae of the women they despise for speaking their minds is a chilling sociological artifact of this mess.
-
So many around me are literally sick of this. Physically ill, from anxiety and fear. Myself included. I'm beyond tired of being scared.
-
Whatever the intentions (or identities) of some in GG, the *impact* of this movement is what it is. The terror it created is real.
-
The terror is not the result of propaganda or misunderstanding or obtuseness, but the real impact on all of our lives.
One GGer in my mentions the other night literally said I should stop worrying because "no one died." Is that what it's going to take?
-
@Quinnae_Moon We both know that would not stop them... At least... I highly doubt it. -
@Quinnae_Moon Sadly... I think it might. Someone killed or badly wounded. Maybe several people. -
@Quinnae_Moon "we are going to say many unambiguously violent things and expect you to treat none of them as serious" -
@Quinnae_Moon "let's just normalize the idea that threats of violence should be instantly disregarded" -
@Quinnae_Moon "that murder has nothing to do with us GG condemns harassment and violence they're probably faking it for sympathy"
