Woke up this morning to a dumpster fire in my mentions (I mean it's always a dumpster fire tbf). These fools are still spreading bullshit conspiracies that are so bonkers they aren't worth repeating but it's just so exhausting. I guess being a misogynist asshole never gets old.

Here's a recent example: an academic I met at an event gave me a copy of her book in which she wrote a section about me and was curious what I thought about it. It was a book about feminist discourses and overall she seemed supportive. I had a bit of time so I gave it a read.

It was enraging to read for many reasons including the lack of basic fact checking but the real problem was she literally quoted GamerGate conspiracies about me as if they were well researched facts... in her academic book!
Show this thread -
Her defense was that she quoted journalists -- as if there aren't a whole slew of journalists who are fully supportive of GamerGate and never do any actual research. This is someone who is SUPPORTIVE OF MY WORK and she bought into these myths.

These myths are so easy to dispel with just a few google searches but it doesn't matter. These harassers are so loud and persistent that when you hear something enough times, the public starts to believe they are facts.

Well, asking for $25,000 to start a Discord, which is totally free, does paint you in a rather negative light.

Embezzling money would make sense in asking for $35k for a FREE Discord server. Bleaching your skin is a bit of a reach so you must be finding worse conspiracy theories than I even hear from the right (if not making it up) Boogie, I am wondering, may have misstated your name

But... you didn't complete your kickstarter project. If you did, then you did MANY years after what was promised, even after raising much more money than needed. You are a charlatan.

It's a fact that you never finished your Kick Starters, therefore you embezzled the money. That's super easy to prove.

There is proof but you've been ignoring it for these six years.

One of these examples is true.
