koricongo: jackofallthing: So this is what the gators are losing their shit over? A bunch of jokes made out at their own expense while using a literal sockpuppet? Its actually pretty tame compared to the mean spirited “satire” they make about people who aren´t pro-gg Hey you know how they are always complaining about “sjws don´t have a sense of humour, they take everything so seriously!? Why dont´they take their own advice? Grow thicker skin you whiny pissbabies! ! Don´t like it? Don´t watch it! After all isnt what you keep telling us every time you do something hurtful? Because apparently joking about crazy fat “feminazis” with dyed hair and transgender people is fine, but when someone is mocking gamergate, who have done nothing but create conflict among the gaming community, Tim Shafer is the one who is actually being sexist and racist . Double standards much? Correction: a poorly done joke (42=/=50) made at the expense of all the women and minorities of GamerGate. Mock GamerGate, but never mock #NotYourShield unless you got a vendetta against having a good name. I´m a female gamer and i have lost count of many times my experiences and my criticisms of the actions that gamergate have done against female devs have been dismissed because i wasn´t pro-gg and because there were some women who were gators, which in their minds means any wrong doings that gg have done have are invalid now. In case you didn´t noticed #Notyourshield is being used as shield to make themselves look good and deflect criticism. The idea is to dismiss the opinion of women and other minorities who aren´t pro-gg and any acts of bigotry by rubbing in our faces the existences of minorities on their side. I call this the “But I can´t be racist have a black friend method”. You know when brings up they are acquainted with someone from a marginalized group to deflect any accusations of bigotry despite their actions. News flash just because a woman says there isn´t any sexism doesn´t negate the actual experiences that another woman had with sexism. No two people from the same demographic have the same opinion, and let´s not forget about concepts like internalized misogyny and racism. I´m aware that some of them may have joined #Notyourshield out of good intentions but that they might be ignorant of gg toxic behaviour. Don´t get me wrong its not the idea that other women have a different opinion than me, it´s that fact that they are using their existence to dismiss the concerns of the rest of my gender and other groups. The fact that they are using them to represent all marginalized groups and therefore you can´t criticism them because of it is what bothers me. Its nothing more than coopting the language of social justice movements to make themselves look progressive just so people can look the other way and ignore their doxing and harrassment tactics. That is what Tim Shafer was joking about. Because #Notyourshield is really being used as shield, As for respecting the opinions of minorites and women of #Notyourshield, gators only respect them as minorities because they agree with them. I sense a pattern here. In their eyes “#Notyourshield are the true voices of those marginalized groups, but god forbid you if you are a minority that disagreees with them. How many times i heard for example anti feminist praising Hoff Summers as a true feminist while dismissing the opinions of large number of feminists? How about telling A Sikh man he is not a real Sikh for not not supporting gamergate? I can´t speak for all women, but the same thing can be said of#Notyourshield. It does not speak for me. The only person who can speak for me is myself, and i´ll be be damned if i see another person saying that any legitimate criticism againts #Notyourshield means they being made at the expense from my group despite my feelings and those of others on the matter. All while ironically ignoring the critcs of #Notyourshield who are from those groups. Also i see that male gators don´t loose their sleep with men who aren´t pro-gg while should i loose sleep over women who are?

Go ahead and talk. What exactly has GG done against female game devs? I’m honestly curious. The very first thing GG has done is donate over $70'000 to support female game devs. GG also donated around $30'000 to various other charities include a charity against bullying, one for suicide prevention, one for a female game dev’s birthday, one for UNICEF, one for WWF etc.

If you mean what happened to Quinn, Wu and Sarkeesian, there are so many sources and so much proof that most of what had happened to them was bull that I don’t even know why anyone would still believe they were nothing but victims.

Let’s start with the lovely miss Briana Wu.

Miss Wu outwardsly admits she’s a spoilt rich brat and claims a half-asian man who had to live off of food donations was more privileged than she was.

She constantly bitches about how we need more representation of large, non-sexualised and non-white female characters, yet in her game that she so highly praised, there are literally nothing but stick-thin white women with absolutely no personality and extremely short skirts or tight-fit one suits.

She tried to get people to purposefully harass her on steam so that she could use it as “evidense” that she was being harassed. She did this by doing a “survey” on what people thought of her and posted it on Steam forums, but deleted it since she forgot to log out.

Miss Briana is also rumored to be ableist. An image she used to make a “GamerGate Meme” was of a child throwing a fit. The picture was taken from a child having trouble with autism.

(from the site “Autism Speaks”)

Miss Wu also claims that women should not be sexualised, as I’ve said before. Yet these are some of her own drawings:

hypocrite much?

Next, Brianna claimed to have been driven out of her home because of threats - which are extremely unlikely due to the fact that through multiple interviews and pictures, her surroundings and chair are all exactly the same before and after she supposedly “left”. She also had managed to tweet several times whilst she was “on the run”.

Next up: the dog. Brianna’s dog died, and someone made a “Crashwu” (name of the dog) account, with a picture of the dog as an avatar. They account was used to harass Wu. Now, this is a damnable thing, and is a horrible thing to do. However suspicion arose when Wu immediately knew of the account’s existence and manage to screenshot one of their tweets literally one second after it had been posted.

Moving on to lovely Anita Sarkeesian.

Anita has been proved over and over that she is a thief, a liar, a scam artist, racist, bigoted, slut-shamer, segregationist tax evader.

She’s a video game “critic” who spends more time talking about games than playing them. Since all she does is talk, you can guess how many of the games she talks about she’s played.

Anita did a class in scamming. Literally. She then started seminars teaching people how to copy other people’s handwriting which was all endorced by fake PR firms she set up with her friends. Another scam she and her buddies did was help people lose weight by hypnosis.

Anita endorced a man called Alex Mandossian – a well known internet marketting scammer. What he did? He taught you how to use psychological tricks to get people to support you and endorse you no matter what you do. He taught people how to use cognitive dissonance to “make the herd follow you”. Anita Sarkeesian has attended many of these seminars. That cost 2000 bucks a seminar, by the way.

Here’s a documentary about the scams. Here’s a video of Alex’s class. And here is both Alex Mandossian and Eben Pagan, two con artists Anita has been seen with or is known to have attend seminars of.

Anita is not an academic. She has a degree in communication, but has never spent a day of her life in women’s studies. She has, quite literally, no idea what she’s talking about. Seeing as Feminist Frequency is a scam and only exists so she can steal money, she doesn’t care. Her videos are scripted, and on live she is unable to find examples. For instance, game developer Danial Vavera claims she shot a woman in his game and then lied and said the game forced her to do this.



Anita had received $160'000 in donation for her videos. The quality of the videos has, since then, not increased.

Note: Anita had been making videos for a long time already, and had never needed the money before.

In her KickStarter, Anita promised Backer Rewards – none have been given. She also promised to have all videos done by a certain date, however, 2 years after the deadline, had not even finished.

Anita also whored herself out on 4Chan and reddit to get people to watch her video.

Anita is a thief.

She didn’t play the games she criticised. She knew basically nothing about the games she was talking about.

Anita also stole artwork that was used in her logo:



This was the artist’s response:

“Long Story Short: You stole my art, used it for commercial purposes, and won’t even respond to my polite inquiries. Financial and legal complications aside, I hope you understand that you’ve taken away my personal voice and ownership as a fellow content creator. Without my permission or knowledge, you’ve taken my work out of context to use for your own agenda, leaving me no control over how my work is seen or used. I found myself surprised to be incidentally supporting and endorsing a campaign I had no prior knowledge about. Content is gifted, donated, licensed, commissioned, and purchased. It should NOT be stolen. On one hand, it’s super cool to know that my art was in a TedTalk. (!!!) But on the other hand, you googled “Princess Daphne”, downloaded my fan artwork from my own blog website, removed the background & signature, placed it into a branding logo, and continued to use this stolen work even AFTER raising $150k on Kickstarter. Ok ok, benefit of the doubt. Copyright law can be complicated. Maybe you thought that any images on Google must be free to use however you want. Honest mistake, no harm no foul? Except that I (and several of your supporters) have tried to contact you to nicely resolve this via your website, Twitter, and even Kickstarter. Unfortunately, there’s been no response from you of any kind. I’d assume you were away from the computer, except you’ve still been actively engaging on social media during this time. Honestly, I don’t have the time/energy at the moment to try to get you to notice me. I do hope one day you’ll attempt to resolve this situation, and fully understand why stealing is not only morally wrong, but also detrimental to content creators of all mediums. I’d still really like to resolve this issue, so I hope you find the time and consideration to one day respond to the original letter I sent you, re-posted below. Thanks, Tammy”

For her to be able to keep the artwork, Anita had to prove that Feminist Frequency is a non-profit organization, which she didn’t. Not only did that mean she was stealing art for profit, but that also means she’s a tax evader.

On the racism: Anita hates Japan and the Japanese. Here is a quote from a female gamer who criticised her:

Anita also mocked the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombing in WW2.



Moving on, the death threats against Anita that she capped were proven fake:

Anita is also an idiot:

And now onto our last lass: Miss Chealsea Van Valkenburg a.k.a Zoe Quinn a.k.a Locke Valentine.

Note: by her own words, Zoe is a rapist.

Depression Quest, or “Wall of Text Simulator” is a quote unquote “game” that spun controversy because Zoe fucked five dudes behind her ex-boyfriend’s back for media converage and a spot on Steam Greenlight, who b& anyone who gave it bad reviews. She also promoted her game using Robin Williams’ suicide .

Zoe claimed a proportion of the proceeds of the game would go to iFred, a charity to help people with depression. A journalist, Milo Yiannopoulos, contacted the charity and they had no idea who she was. Zoe then claimed it was actually the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline she was donating to, however, according to a Miss Leblanc, that is not true:

To get people off of her case, she then donated to iFred.

To one-up Zoe, 4Chan started a donation that they would give to the American Fondation for Suicide Prevention, and set a goal of 2000 dollars. They earned $5'560. Which is unbelievably more than what Zoe did.

Matti Leshem invited Zoe Quinn to a video game based reality show where indie devs make a game in 48 hours and the proceeds go to charity. Zoe sabotaged the show and claimed wanting Matti’s head on a stick. She then set up a knockoff paypal account to get the money anyway and “give it to charity” yet the paypal was her personal account, and no charities were named.

Zoe Quinn shut down 3 charities based on the idea that they were “anti-feminist” (and gave no solid proof of it) One of the charities was helping girls with little to no computer skill make a video game and send the proceeds to victims of colon cancer. 8% of those proceeds went to the girls. However, Zoe sabotaged the charity and tried to turn it into an attempt at personal gain.

The charity set up by The Fine Young Capitalists (a feminist site, i believe) started a charity to help earn money for female game devs to get their games developped. 4Chan donated over $70'000 to them. The charity was doxxed several times, including by Zoe herself, but TFYC claimed they were no longer fighting Zoe. The went back on their word, however, when they came out saying Zoe refused to sign the treaty and even bribed them to not say she doxed them.

A quote from TFYC:

“We explained that she had retweeted Maya’s doxxing information. Zoe explained that Maya was not associated with her (A point which goes against Maya’s webpage and the twitter conversation) and attempted to manipulate the situation, and blame it on Maya."

Maya was of a friend of Zoe’s. She threw her under the bus to save her skin.

Zoe had her white knights threaten game devs and future game devs for even going so far as to criticise her:



here is a post by Zoe’s ex boyfriend. It’s extremely important and has most or even all of the facts that prove she’s nothing but a scam and a liar.

By the way, she’s a molester.

Zoe also claimed to have stabbed someone and killed him

oh btw:

AND NOW:

You claim that #NotYourShield does not speak for you. It doesn’t. It never did. NotYourShield is about people speaking for themselves and not letting others speak for them, the fact you have failed to understand this is just you showing the world what a fucking idiot you are. You claim we have internalized misogyny or internalized racism, you claim we are harassed into believing this is what we have to think, yet you have not ever stated that we, as humans, as people with rights, have the right to think and believe in what we want. You seem to be claiming we do not have the intelligence for understanding what is right on our own. You seem to believe that the only right way to think is yours. You claim we are either not really who we say we are or we are wrong, but there is NO mention of you even once thinking we are making our own decisions based on our own belief and our own research. All I’ve seen you do till now is complain about how only you are right. You are speaking for others and refuse to see that.

I am part of NotYourShield. I have the right to think for myself. I believe that gaming journalism should not be corrupt by petty bribing. I refuse to let them stereotype all gamers as being white, cishet men. I’m not white. I’m not heterosexual. I support Gamergate. That means I am part of NotYourShield, because I am not someone who fits the description these journalists are trying to insist are true. THAT is what NotYourShield is about. We are not GamerGate’s excuse to be bigoted. We are part of a group that supports something whilst proving that not all of them are men and not all of them are white. Do women suddenly not play video games? You admit you play, and imagine you were part of that demographic that insisted comic books were only for men. This is what we are against. Video games are not only played by men. NotYourShield exists to prove that. pro-GG women are part of NotYourShield because according to you and gaming journalists, only men play games and only men care about harmful stereotypes.

You claim not to be biased by understanding that other women may have a different opinion than you, yet immediately state that women who are part of NotYourShield are ignorant.

YOU SAY YOU WILL NOT LET OTHERS SPEAK FOR YOU YET DESCRIBE OTHERS MAKING THEIR OWN DECISIONS AS IGNORANT OR SELF-LOATHING.
