August Never Ends
Zoe Quinn, a developer who's works include the award winning indie games Depression Quest and Framed, writes of her experiences with the subculture of gamers known as #GamerGate and how their actions have impacted her life.
"It’s a head splitting cognitive dissonance to be fielding requests for help from friends who have just gotten swatted at the same time as giving someone else numbers on the harassment and abuse perpetrated by GamerGate because someone he’s talking to thinks it’s over and never had a big impact on people in the first place. This entire week has been spent putting out fires started by scriptkiddies and adults who should know better but are too empty to care about their victims."
