Look, #Gamergate, here's the case for donating to Anita, Zoe or Brianna. Or just *one of them*, doesn't matter.

You liked it when Intel dropped their advertising, right? Advertisers aren't gonna do that again when everyone thinks you're a hate movement
-
So you have to kill the narrative that you hate women -- specifically the ones who've been victimized.
-
No one's gonna look at women harassed out of their homes and take your side. The more abuse they take, the worse it looks.
-
And since you're never gonna be able to stop the abuse, you've gotta help them. It's the only way to show the world you're not a hate mob.
-
God, I'd be such a good leader of
#Gamergate if you guys would just let me do it. -
Man,
#Gamergate, I don't get why you're responding so negatively to my suggestion that you help women who were harassed from their homes. -
Let's show the world what a compassionate, caring, not-a-misogynist-hate-campaign
#Gamergate is by helping the victims of online harassment. -
It was a practical suggestion, guys. It would have helped
#Gamergate. I'm starting to think you don't really care about harassment at all. -
I've said many mean about
#Gamergate, but politely suggesting it help victims PURELY AS A PR MOVE has gotten me the most negative responses.
There was literally no downside. The only way it would hurt your cause is if your cause was actually... to hurt female VG critics.... OH GOD
-
@ShadowTodd Oh man though, no they totally helped one victim. -
@ShadowTodd according to the tweets I'm not getting at least. -
@ShadowTodd Downside: people call it out as the cheap PR stunt it is and it further hurts GG. -
@THEDOGSMEAT@ShadowTodd If GG had nothing to do with the attacks on these women and the name was just used as a cover, it's the best move. -
@UberLemur@ShadowTodd A transparent PR stunt is just about the worst move. -
@UberLemur@ShadowTodd Besides, GG is currently giving to a charity it actually believes in to help victims. https://www.crowdrise.com/gamergatestompsoutbullying/fundraiser/loping … -
@THEDOGSMEAT@ShadowTodd It's only the worst move if it's legit transparent PR stunt. If it's them acting out against harassment, it's good -
@UberLemur@ShadowTodd Todd called it a PR stunt. It's how he tried to sell his plan.
