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.

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.

Anita, perhaps you were not aware of this. Gamergate was nothing to do with you. It might be shocking for you to discover but you ended up inviting your haters into the mix and exasperated the situation. Your relevance has died down. enjoy it.

>lack of basic fact checking Ironic, because you fact check literally nothing of your own work, whether it's citing the old 'video games cause misogyny and violence towards women!' argument or just your misguided feminist claptrap in general.

So your complaint is that an academic book had well researched facts in it? That’s an odd complaint.

FFS. Even as an undergraduate studying History every time I introduce a new source into an essay I have to explain why I chose it, why it's reliable and even with it being reliable what the problems with it are and why I should be cautious about the conclusions I draw from it.
