Actress Felicia Day doxxed after expressing GamerGate concerns

The truly honorable intentions of the GamerGate movement gets another black eye. And I use the word "honorable" in a sarcastic manner.

And yet you have no evidence this was by anybody associated with gamergate, you make me laugh with your pathetic slanderous crap.

For all we know it could have been done by an anti GG person trying to make gamergate take the fall, did you ever think of that? Nope, didn't think so. (I'm not saying it was, just pointing out how easy it is to say anything with no evidence)

Unless you have PROOF don't throw around baseless accusations >:(

MRMagoo1233885d ago

This whole thing started about a slapper sleeping her way into the industry but I dont have a clue what it is about now..are people defending womans rights to sleep their way into the industry or what the hell is this all about ?

PeaSFor3885d ago

lot of professional victims.

TheGreatAndPowerful3884d ago (Edited 3884d ago )

It's amazing that no one reported on how boogie2988 got doxxed and wife was threatened a couple of days ago...gaming media is complete bullsh*t.

buttclown3884d ago

Not only boogie, can you believe they doxed TotalBiscuit? The dude just got out of cancer treatment if I am correct.

Dark_Overlord3884d ago

They won't do that though, it wouldn't help their smear campaign of lies and deceit :/

CaptainObvious8783884d ago (Edited 3884d ago )

22 disagrees and yet no one has has written an actual comment to counter your argument.

I guess all they can do is pout and disagree.

Oh, and just so you know, I support gamergate, but I discourage doxxing.

Dark_Overlord3884d ago

It's the same every time, I always ask for proof regardless of the situation (even in real life), if you can't provide even the slightest bit of evidence, it makes it far harder to believe (even harder when a certain side has been proven to lie repeatedly).

I don't agree with doxxing either, nor harassment, neither help in any situation.

googergieger3884d ago

I don't think you understand how this site, or the internet in general works.

Dan_scruggs3884d ago (Edited 3884d ago )

No proof at all. Other than the person who doxxed her went under the user name Gaimerg8. Probably just a coincidence.

Blacktric3884d ago (Edited 3884d ago )

>a #GamerGate supporter gets a fake account called "Gaimerg8" to release personal info of a sh*tty celebrity

That's totally not an obvious troll and obviously a member of the movement, cause it says there in the name! Right?

You can do better...

d0x3603884d ago

Gamers better OPEN THEIR EYES and see what's happening here. These people are using this sexism nonsense to push the jack Thompson agenda. They are moving toward violent games make people violent so we must ban them.

They are doing so by saying how sexist games are and how sexist we are for supporting them and if we disagree we obviously hate women and want them out of gaming.

No we don't want them out. We don't care who plays or makes games Man women or otherwise.

This is a culture war and yes gamergate is about journalism no matter what anyone tries to tell you there is a much bigger issue at our doorstep and a lot of people are marching right along with it because if you don't you are labeled a women hater or sexist or bigot.

Don't fall for it. Your hobby is at stake, their are wolves in sheep's clothing trying to trick you. Stand up and be heard.

googergieger3884d ago

So, I don't really know if this woman actually slept her way to good reviews or whatever people said about it(my basic understanding of what kicked off this whole "gamergate" thing). I do think it is horrible that all this doxxing and threats and such is going on, and I really have no idea why people are so adamant to double down and be, beyond stubborn on a "movement" that seems to be at its best, nothing. I mean people have said "gaming journalism" is broken for the longest time. I mean really it is hard for it to be anything but. When ME3 came out a ton of people brought up how the only reason it got such high scores was because it couldn't get anything less, regardless of what the game actually was. In any case, if the industry has been broken for the longest time and has no signs of being fixed, because it is damn near impossible to be fixed, why so headstrong and steadfast with this "movement"? I mean it really does seem to be, "we came up with this name first and we aren't going to let anyone hijack it!". That is beyond silly. Just let it end. This hashtag generation seem so busy going out of their way to come up with a buzz word or buzz words, and shout them at the top of their lungs, that the actual results and goals of what they promise to try to accomplish, never even get started on the process to do anything.

hankmoody3882d ago

I hope that when you receive your GamerGate membership card, your heart explodes from the excitement. Literally. I love how the main measure of defense for so many GamerGaters is to point to some dark conspiracy about how all these articles are being made JUST to crap on the movement. No, it's because this "cause" is tainted by a bunch of misogynistic pigs who have ruined all hope of getting anywhere with it. Funny how you guys are all about pushing ethics in journalism, by any means necessary.

GamerGate gives gaming and its community a BAD name.

Dark_Overlord3882d ago

"I love how the main measure of defense for so many GamerGaters is to point to some dark conspiracy about how all these articles are being made JUST to crap on the movement."

It's a good job GG supporters have proof to back it up then isn't it, something anti GG trolls seem to completely avoid.

"GamerGate gives gaming and its community a BAD name. "

No, nameless trolls, harassers and doxxers give the gaming community a bad name. I'll link you to GG supporters who actually stop these trolls and doxxers

No mentally healthy person would condone the actions of those making threats. However, both the author and Felicia (as much as I respect and love her) are ignorant of the situation at hand.

You are lumping these psychopaths in with Gamergate supporters. Please don't. If these people support Gamergate, it is only out of the same ignorance being shown in this article.

So, please talk to the community about this. Have a serious, informative discussion, instead of jumping on a bandwagon created by those who do not respect the industry or the human beings in it.

XtraTrstrL3885d ago

The pathetic attempts to associate anything negative with GamerGate is getting corny. You're right about the ignorance of these people that have just vague info on the whole situation. All they see is articles connecting GamerGate with angry man-children that want women out of gaming, then they throw silly attacks back at GamerGate - which is exactly what the crooks want.

Most these people don't even know what GamerGate is about, because they people GG is created to get rid of or to straighten out are putting all their effort into corrupting the movement. Their method is pretty silly though, just bundle any/all negativity towards women in gaming into the GG group. There doesn't even have to be any mention of GamerGate by the attackers & the email/tweet/etc still gets tossed into the GG pile.

It really makes no sense. I don't see this half-witted approach destroying GG, it seems to me that the dirty industry folk caught up in all the fraudulent activity underestimate gamers' intelligence. They feel that being relentless with these articles back to back to back will weaken and kill off GG eventually, but I think they're gonna be sadly mistaken.

gamey3885d ago

The only way to reclaim GG (although I think it may be too negative at this point) is for the community to call out the idiots using misogynistic language, threats, and terrible personal opinions about women to make some sort of point. That ruins ALL our credibility on this issue. So does engaging in conspiracy theories. Call out the negative, reactionary elements or the whole case sinks.

buttclown3884d ago

@Gamey

I can link you to my personal twitter and others that when we see harassment, doxing, threats, etc. We will spam twitter to get that account banned ASAP.

Look up Gamergate harassment patrol

WeAreLegion3885d ago

I disagree with Felicia, but we can't go there. Nobody deserves this.

prodg523885d ago

If #Gamergate is really just about "journalistic integrity", why aren't the supporters speaking out against all the harassment? Instead, I see most of them blaming the victims.

Rhaigun3885d ago (Edited 3885d ago )

Most of the legit supporters do. Its just that our only forum for doing so is here or reddit. No actual site is giving any of us the time of day.

prodg523885d ago

I'm not against the fight for journalistic integrity. I'm against the people who show up in the comments section saying "she had it coming" or [insert derogatory term for a female]. It's a distraction from the real argument. Plus the threats and doxxing is getting a little out of control.

Megaplaynate3885d ago

prodg52

People that support Gamergate are being harassed as well, like Rhaigun said the true supporters of Gamergate are against this kind of behavior.

ginganinja3885d ago

And why do no actual sites give you the time of day?
Is it because of a worldwide conspiracy being led by a couple of female indie devs fluttering their eyelashes. Do you really think they're that powerful ?
Or is it because they've looked at the evidence Gamergate has provided, examined it, and come to the conclusion that there's nothing of consequence there. And, when you realise the 'proof' is so flimsy, you ask yourself so what is maintaining the momentum for so long ?

buttclown3884d ago (Edited 3884d ago )

You find me anyone that claims they can police the internet. Really, because it is needed in every part of it. No one can do that and legit supporters of GG, the ones who actively participate with each other every day, will oppose it and actively try to shut it down in ways made possible to them.

Rhaigun3884d ago

@ginganinja How will we ever know? No one will even touch it. What are the sites gonna do? Investigate themselves? No, they're more interested in deflecting the issue to misogyny. The reason this hasn't gone away, is because no one is providing proof it didn't happen.

gigoran3885d ago

Are you kidding? Whatever you are doing to research, you should probably change it quick. Every day GG supporters are speaking out against harassment. Every day GG supporters are being abused, insulted, attacked, doxxed, and threatened. But you don't see that. You either don't because A: The media won't report about anything supporting GG (hence the fight for journalistic ethics), or B: You just don't want to see it. I have myself had death threats sent to me by people very close to Zoe Quinn. People she supports. Where is the story about that? Have I done anything to her or her followers? Nope! What did I do? I asked the journalist to DO THEIR JOBS RIGHT!

Guitardr853884d ago

@gigoran...

True, and I appreciate that, but what is getting more news...speaking out against the hate or the bad guys that have taken over gamergate?

CaptainObvious8783884d ago

You must be blind then.

I hope you don't drive.

Spotie3884d ago

They are. Not getting any coverage, though. It's an attack, of sorts, on journalists for their lack of integrity; why would journalists want to give that any limelight?

Give it time: somebody will try to say something ISIS did is because of gamergate.

Soul Reaver, all were excellent.

Lots of good options. Batman and Joker are both great in the Arkham Games, Geralt if fantastic in the Witcher 3, so is Ciri, Fem-Shep in Mass Effect Trilogy, Nathan Drake.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

Record of Agarest War 2 announced for PS3

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5484d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5484d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Jack-Pyro5484d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495484d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5484d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5484d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
