Okay faggots, for the last couple of days I've been compiling a list of the most egregious shit IGDA and Femfreq have pulled. It's still not complete, and I plan to add a section with Josh's assorted Twitter imbecility, which is gonna take ages. But since people are starting to listen on Twitter, here's the preliminary list.

Don't just tweet a pile of these links. Go one at a time, explaining the context. Remember, we're not trying to bash Intel, we're supposed to show how they made terrible choices in partnerships for this.

Also it might be a good diea to check the link before tweeting, just in case I fucked up. Anti-gamers spew so much bullshit it's hard to keep track of it all.

IGDA and ggautoblocker

Endorsed ggautoblocker, a terribly coded Twitter blocklist that blocked one of their own representatives, Robert Rosario, among thousands of unrelated people.

Despite claiming ggautoblocker was a third-party tool, an IGDA internal board called Women In Games Special Interest Group (WIG SIG) was involved in its coding.

After much public outcry, they removed their link to ggautoblocker altogether.

IGDA itself was targeting Gamergate despite claiming to represent all developers.

The creator of ggautoblocker has a history of harassment on Twitter, and openly tells her Twitter followers to blacklist people for their opinions, and they follow up with harassment.

People of IGDA

Now for a couple of the specific people mentioned as advisors in the harassment resource that initially included ggautoblocker.

https://archive.today/hdmqF#selection-2793.0-2793.8

Tristin Edwards, who is also one of IGDA's two main staff members and former member of the steering committee of the WIG SIG group which helped create ggautoblocker, has openly targeted Gamergate as a whole, as well as spouted supported misandrist positions. She has since deleted every single tweet she made.

Elsa Henry has also made spurious accusations against Adam Baldwin of abusing women, and has shown support for misandry.

https://archive.today/WRYHu

Now let's look at someone from IGDA's board of directors.

https://archive.today/2PZra

Luke Dicken has just plain attacked gamers as a whole. "Anti-gamer" is not an euphemism when referring to him, and yet he's in the board of directors of a game developer association.

https://archive.today/MRuTH

https://archive.today/NPc2X

Perhaps the worst offender of all, however, is IGDA's own founder.

https://archive.today/pel4K

Ernest W. Adams, despite talking about representing all devs and standing against censorship at the same time he threatens to blacklist dissenting developers and justifies private censorship.

https://archive.today/OM5aw

https://archive.today/xh9Rp

https://archive.today/gV4dL

So that's the IGDA in a nutshell. Claiming to support equality and diversity in gaming development while calling for blacklisting, promoting bigotry, shunning debate, excusing censorship and playing favorites.

Feminist Frequency

Their descriptions of the games they criticize are full of cherry-picking, crass misinterpretations and plain falsehoods. In a particularly crass case, FF's video about Bayonetta from Februry 2010 was so full of factually wrong statements that it was removed. In June 2012 it was uploaded after being re-edited, taking it from 4:10 to 2:58 in length. The page in FF's website about the video does mention the edit, but of course, whitewashes the reason for the re-edit.

The whitewashing on FF's website: https://archive.today/ixYyu#selection-137.0-137.467

FF uses footage from other people's let's-play videos without asking or even notifying them. Here's a long list of instances.

https://archive.today/UGUwq

Anita Sarkeesian

The many factual inaccuracies and the theft of LP content both point towards what has become a common criticism of FF videos. The only two possiblities are that either the FF staff hasn't actually played the game at all, or played it and are willingly lying about it. Anita Sarkeesian often spouts her narrative of being a lifelong gamer, but footage from a lecture she delivered at Santa Monica College 2010, she openly admits that she "isn't a fan of videogames" and "actually had to do research", and "I would love to play video games but I don’t want to go around shooting people and ripping off their heads and it’s just gross" is nothing if not a statement that she's barely involved with the subject she claims to be a cultural critic of. The issue isn't whether she's a "real gamer" or not, but that she's criticizing cultural products she hasn't even consumed. It's exactly like judging a book by its cover.

Her masters thesis is a perfect embodiment of pseudo-science, passing ill-defined, lazily made "research" as cultural criticism.

https://mega.co.nz/#!UBxSEY6S!fsPHYmoZO2XigZTBDYxRGxZQbxUqxj_Jx4tTxw4bM-A

Her past as a pyramid scheme peddler and similar scams, which neatly mix her pseudo-science with her social manipulation.

She didn't much mind sexualization or objectification of women when she was the one shooting their pictures.

Jonathan McIntosh

Like Anita Sarkeesian, McIntosh has no problems with sexualization and objectification of women when he's behind the camera.

Appendix: the more cogent rebuttals of Femfreq's drivel.

Much has been said about their intellectual dishonesty. Unfortunately, much of the criticism against FF comes from other similarly unreliable Youtube e-celebrities. The ones below are the best I know of.
