      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.

      I know you and I don't always see eye to eye, but I am willing to help parse all this for you in a way your critics will understand, and to help clear up some misconceptions as well. All you have to do is ask, Anita. 😊https://www.darknessfiles.com/single-post/2018/02/06/In-Defense-of-Anita-Sarkeesian …

          I know. And that is one thing I really respect and admire about you, actually. Still, all I can do is continue to make the offer in the hopes you might reconsider that working together is more productive than the status quo. I'm not your enemy, Anita.

          She was so rude to you, and you just sat there and took it? Wow. The worst part is you’re either oblivious or unwilling to acknowledge it.

          It's called taking the high road. Read the original article I wrote. If my intent is to #HealTheDivide, which path is more likely to achieve that end? Calling her a cunt to her face for spurning my offer or saying, "Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, maybe next time"?

          You can think about it like what's going on in Korea or Russia at the moment. Trump says, "Well, we can continue this war like we've been doing and risk blowing up the planet, or you can work with us and be our friends and we can win at everything together." Hmm, tough choice.

          Make no mistake, her refusal saddens me greatly, but she and I are both adults. I'm not a snowflake. We've both been hurt way worse before, we just shrug it off and continue. She doubtless has her reasons and I won't speculate what they are cuz I'm not a mind reader.

          I don't really have a horse in this race but I've learned that sometimes these requests are better received privately. I also noticed that "helping" seems to be a pejorative nowadays and "lending a hand" or "assisting" nets better results. I find your cause a very noble one tho.

          Offering to "help" a 3rd wave feminist was never going to go well. It's either condescending or misogynist. You Cannot win. I admit I know little from her perspective but reading her Twitter interactions doesn't make me a fan.
