Zoe Quinn has had it.

Yesterday, fed up with the equivocating bullshit that’s constantly being said in the media and within gaming circles about #GamerGate, and pissed off at all those who think of themselves as good people but still refuse to see the hatred and misogyny and harassment and doxxing that has been central to GG since the start, Quinn posted a series of (justifiably) angry tweets calling out the cowards in the profession who know that what’s going on is deeply evil but won’t say anything, and documenting the unending harassment she and her boyfriend, and her family, and his family are still getting.

Was that even a sentence? I don’t know. The point is she’s STILL getting harassed. She’s STILL getting “prank” calls. She’s STILL getting death threats. People are STILL digging around in her personal life and the personal life of everyone connected to her.

And she’s not the only one. The newest target of #GamerGate wrath? Indie game developer Brianna Wu, who, as I noted in my last post, got death threats … for posting memes on Twitter.

Meanwhile, two creepy obsessed assholes are still begging for money to make a documentary they hope will ruin Anita Sarkeesian.

Oh, but #GamerGate is about ethics.

I’m just going to paste in a bunch of Quinn’s Tweets here, because they pretty much speak for themselves.

to the "moderates" of gamergate: how do you think you can get rid of corruption in journalism when you can't rid your own movement of it? — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

and to those who are anti-gg and silent – the more people who speak out the less vulnerable those who do speak out are. — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

If you are just watching this from the sidelines, scared, I don't blame you. But it does force the burden of fighting this on those targeted — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

"How do you fight it?" – Condemn it. Offer moral support to those targeted. Signal boost the stuff that debunks the ridiculous claims — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

If you are still remaining silent or saying "but both sides have points" I am losing more and more patience for you as this continues 🙁 — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

I make a post saying I refuse to talk about my personal life? Hacked and doxxed. Phil stands up for me? Hacked and doxxed. — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

We all keep being told none of this is happening, people and websites still treat the movement with skepticism about what it is — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

Meanwhile *I* had to do the investigation into gamergate and blow that shit open with the IRC while watching them talk about raping me — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

I followed up on the IRC log here and here, but I wouldn’t have known about it if she hadn’t been there first collecting screenshots.

Anything but scorching the goddamned earth on gamergate is turning a blind eye as more and more women & feminists are targeted — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

if you have ANY shred of decency and consider yourself part of gamergate, stop asking us to suffer for your movement. Leave and start anew. — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

I don't care how many enemies I make now, this shit needs to stop. If you've just watched and let this happen, you should be ashamed — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

There is no "both sides" here. People against GG's actions are not organized, or campaigning, or using a hashtag. — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

There's a mob, and their targets — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

If you are choosing to stay silent, let me ask you this – how shitty would you feel if one of these people made good on their threats? — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

How can you be comfortable letting people like alex & I, who are combatting the IRL fallout of GG, fight the online fights too — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

god damnit I hate being angry and going on twitter tirades but fuck this has to stop — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

Take the time to enlarge the pics on these tweets:

for those of you keeping score, on the 16th it will be two months of alex and I living under shit like this pic.twitter.com/S1HC1DVph2 — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

I have a 16 fucking gig folder of this shit — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

And then there’s … this:

Literally getting accused of killing gamers pic.twitter.com/km6GXoiIVc — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 8, 2014

Also, she gets phone calls:

cool dude with a soundboard who has been calling me around this hour for the last week periodically is back at it again — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

between that and the pizzas they tried to order to me with my dox I think we may be dealing with real actual 12 year old, folks — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 11, 2014

Oh, you don’t believe she gets phone calls? Ta da:

.@Kheapathic @the_moviebob oh I'm sorry, did you just say this didn't happen? Bad news we recorded it https://t.co/LE0CQj8Upe — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 2, 2014

As the MRAs say: Always Be Recording. Except that Zoe Quinn actually has a good reason to do this.

It’s kind of amazing that Quinn manages to retain a sense of humor in the midst of all this.

whenever gamergate is finally over and the dust settles, someone's gonna go "The aristocrats!" and it'll all make sense — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

because the last two months have been the grossest, longest drawn-out-est joke I've seen in my entire life — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

and it's not even a funny joke. it's just sad, absurd, and has destroyed a lot of peoples' lives — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014

Gamer inside joke!

every time a creep yells at me for something anita did I delay half life 3 another year — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 8, 2014

Also, kitty:

to make up for my grumpyass, here's the cutest twitter feed. It autotweets when a cat comes home through its catdoor https://t.co/StWNbK8Q8d — zoë “leonardo doujinshi” quinn (@UnburntWitch) October 10, 2014
