Note from the bot-maker: I'm seeing another wave of people targeted by gamergate, 8chan users, etc, because they spoke out about bigotry.
-
I'm a regular target for these groups, though not a major one. But I have to dedicate time and energy to protecting myself.
This bot can only exist because they have failed to silence people like me. So far. That can't last without your help.

-
The energy I have to spend dealing with this misogynist, transphobic shit is energy I don't get to spend making cool stuff like this bot.
-
If none of you get your companies, your publications, your organizations to take a stand against this, stuff like this bot will be gone.
-
It just won't be possible to make it as an independent creator, because the visibility I have as an artist will put me in actual danger.
-
I'm not a major target. I don't need personal support. But I am part of an environment of artists and activists that's under direct threat.
-
And to those of you who are dealing with the threats and harassment these hate groups deal in-- you have hugs from me, and the bot army.
-
Thanks for listening. We return to your regularly scheduled terrible headlines. -
