I support #GamerGate I'm a developer and now I'm mad.

I've been a developer for over a decade and for the longest time I've worked and contributed towards FOSS and video games, I like to think my contributions have been meaningful and that time and time again I deliver quality products, while I may delay or hit speed bumps, I always pull through with my promises.



The same can't be said for @TimOfLegend a man so incompetent he was able to burn millions and fail to deliver on his promises. He had the audacity to get on stage and belittle thousands of people simply for their advocation of holding developers and journalist to better standards in the video game industry.



My base my merit on being honest, being fair and most important being kind to others wherever possible, so why is it I'm being dragged through the mud for wanting the likes of an alcoholic, Emperor Palpatine, Wuaneda and others to stop playing the victim card and doing overall shady shit?



Why are people trying to politicize development of any sort? It isn't just video games, its FOSS too, be it the Django commit to be more "politically correct" (https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692)



Or people saying my app Borderless-Gaming is good, but heads up because "I suppose #Gamergate" (http://i.imgur.com/q9uP6bl.png)



I make open source software, I make enterprise level systems, I make video games and most importantly I give back. How many of these other "developers" crying wolf can say the same with a straight face? Stop trying to dictate how the world works, especially my world, because i'm pretty sure at this point you do more pateron plugs than git commits.



All that being said, see you at Pax East tomorrow!
