In fact, GamerGate raised over $70,000 to go towards projects supporting and encouraging women to go into gaming, and over $45,000 in addition to other causes such as Unicef, Child’s Play, and Extra Life.



Quoth supersudden:



1) Vivian James was not created for GamerGate’s purpose. It was created by 4chan’s /v/ as a means to support The Fine Young Capitalists’ kickstarter, which some certain individuals were trying to shut down for unreasonable demands. Her figure was supposed to pull a prank on every person who thought that the “hellhole of the internet” would have put some demonic dick monster or something on a charitable event.

2) None of the aforementioned threats and doxes have ever been confirmed as made by GamerGate supporters. To respond to that, especially to some certain individuals attacking Anita Sarkeesian, a group of twitter tone-policing people were able to track down harassers, among which a brazillian clickbait journalist who had tried to make a quick buck out of the situation. Surprisingly, after being presented with the evidence, Anita refused to press charges on the man, nor even acknowledge the work on GamerGate’s part.

3) Among AAA supporters, GamerGate can count Mark Kern, Daniel Vávra, the dev studios of Running with Scissors as well as various other developers, including the original Xbox’s designers.

4) The two blokes behind The Sarkeesian Effect (especially mr. skulltoy) are constantly made fun of by GamerGate themselves, you would especially know this if you ever visited the /gamergate/ and /cow/ boards of 8chan. The general opinion is they made bank on the Reddit kids who thought they were part of some sort of le epic internet war, but it’s a story for another time.

5) Miss Christina Hoff Sommers is an actual academic critic. Unlike certain other critics, her inbox and comment sections are always open for discussion. Again, you would know this if you had even as much as googled her name.

6) Mark Kern spoke out against games journalists because, due to the sheer ineptitude and corruption on their part, they sent back media’s opinion of gaming culture back into the 90′s “violence in games is violence outside” levels,as “perfectly” illustrated by this video.

7) Milo Yiannopoulos was the first person who tried and take an objective approach at the story, and found it to be interesting enough to warrant digging into. He’s not a “holy figure” or leader or anything of the sort.

8) You can read up about all of the ethical reforms that have been either directly or indirectly being caused by GamerGate right here.

This is all research that could be done by spending no more than ten minutes on google. You wasted what I must assume at least half a day making a comic that can be deconstructed without even digging for sources. I’ll give you that, though, you’ve got style. It’s a shame your art is being used like this.
