And yes, I am furious about Anita's cancelled talk, about the spectre of Marc Lepine being raised over a lecture on *video games*
-
Terror, for one too many GGers, has become the despotism of their perverse digital "virtue," a pure conception of the "gamer" identity.
Because the reaction of the movement is damning enough. No humanity, just PR/spin, denial, victim blaming, and endless slander.
-
@Quinnae_Moon And the creation of a fallback narrative that justifies further terror. -
The worst thing that some of the most radical GGers fear is *looking bad*-- and that is blood-curdling.
-
@Quinnae_Moon It's beautiful, in that I just had some white guy sporting#NotYourShield proundly on his icon and i called him out. -
@Quinnae_Moon and he immediately backpedaled to call it an anti-gg plot. -
@Quinnae_Moon When I was harrassed, the argument from the few wanting it to stop wasn't that it was wrong, but because it "provided ammo." -
Consider no less that GG strenuously advises people to *stop talking* about their harassment, to stop being open about it.
-
They are trying to enforce the silence that is meant to be harassment's yield. Because they know our speech makes them look dreadful.
-
I have never doubted the power of words. It's why I became a writer and academic. But my faith in their might has been redoubled this month.
-
Because our speech was so threatening they had to build a sinful scaffold of "corruption" scandals around it to attack us.
