So, an hour ago, I suggested that since #Gamergate is feeling charitable right now, they might want to donate to harassment victims.
-
After all, I figured,
#Gamergate has always touted that they reject harassment and the harassers are a "tiny minority"
So I figured if those were true, #Gamergate would be eager to put some distance between them and this "tiny minority" of harassers.

Here are the responses to that suggestion given to me by

@ShadowTodd And, a few like me who aren't in#Gamergate, but can see the points and counterpoints. -
Given those results, I have a hard time believing that Gamergate means a goddamn thing it says about "rejecting" or "condemning" harassment
-
@ShadowTodd Outside of showing how the harrassers, only use GG as a guise to seem bigger, or do what they WEREN'T instructed to do by GG. -
I also have a hard time believing that this movement is not "about" Brianna, Zoe or Anita if the response was this overwhelmingly negative
-
Even just as a cover-your-ass move it would be great for
#Gamergate's PR.#Gamergate rejected it violently. -
Yeah
@ShadowTodd how could you possibly comprehend why ppl wouldn't donate to ppl who they know hate them. It's incomprehensible#GamerGate -
.
@ShadowTodd Why would we promote that victimhood? -
So
@ShadowTodd donating to charity and reporting trolls isn't helping the abused?#gamergate this is why I'm in the#notyourshield camp -
@HandlebarOXD@ShadowTodd point: pursuing ethics while tacitly supporting abuse (by denying it) is wrong. counterpoint: *really loud fart* -
(Oh and spare me the "but we report abuse" spiel. All it shows is that the movement harmed its victims slightly less than it could have.)
-
@Skullbasher100@ShadowTodd I just want to say, this message is awful. Helping victims supports victimhood. Unbelievable. -
@Skullbasher100@ShadowTodd People give gamers shit because they say things like this in public. -
.
@Mjolna@ShadowTodd Well, I surely wouldn't donate money to someone who has slandered me for the past few days in major news outlets. -
.
@Mjolna@ShadowTodd I seriously recommend you see what we've been accused of, and then say that. -
@Skullbasher100 Nothing that has been said about people who play video games has even approached slander. Not legally. Or meaningfully.
