      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.

      But here's the thing -- these conspiracy theories they've been spreading about me for six years seem ludicrous on the surface but they actually work to infect the cultural understanding of me and my work on a much larger scale than their tiny little woman-hating communities.

      These conspiracy theories range from: I'm embezzling money, I never finished my kickstarter project to bleaching my skin to appear more white and apparently now progressive I'm somehow responsible for the death of an activist.

      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!

      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.

          @anitasarkeesian if you were just more upfront about how you don't play games but are concerned about characteristic value in what they portray I would be more open to hear what you say, that being said you are a liar, not in what you want to represent but how you show the facts.

          But she does play games. How would you know how she shows the facts when you haven't watched any of her material?

          The reason many people assume she doesn’t play games is because she often takes some scenes completely out of context , games that if she played, she would’ve seen that a lot of these games aren’t as “sexist” as they seem at surface level

          Also there is a clip or her stating she doesn’t play video games and whatnot. It’s older but can be used as evidence of her being a con artist (not sure if it’s true but the theory is out there).

          Incredibly frustrating and dangerous. I get so angry when I watch your vids and then YouTube's toxic recommendation system tries to take over. These conspiracy theorist & white supremacists don't need corporate help.

          Hi. Could you link these videos? All I get is people pointing out the false statements she’s made about certain video games (such as Hitman) and people calling her out for harassing or shady stuff (such as reviewing a book without disclosing to her audience that she funded it).

          You never finished your video series that you raised $180k for. You literally posted 3 episodes to the internet and then opened another Kickstarter for some tumor of a game that you never finished either. You literally embezzled tens of thousands. It’s not a theory, it’s fact

          For what my 2 cents is worth, (another straight white guy here, hi!) you do such great, thought-provoking work. Ridiculous you are still a target for this bile. Thanks for staying strong and continuing.
