Title: Anti-Gamergate troll Mackenzie Kelly claims that she is doing media interview representing gamergate

As many of you who were aware of her in the first place know or suspected, Mackenzie Kelly is an anti-gamergate troll whose purpose in pretending to support gamergate is to "troll" and sabotage us. The most obvious giveaway of this was when she made a video quoting an [anti-gg parody article](https://archive.today/ZpJyH) verbatim. While 8chan was already suspicious beforehand, this tipped her hand and for a while /gg/ had [this stickied post](http://i.imgur.com/NoBvutI.png) warning about her. The purpose of this post is not so much to inform pro-gg people, who generally either don't know her or know not to trust her, but to have this fact on record for the sake of media who who seem to want to appoint her as our spokesperson, given the two Daily Dot [articles](https://archive.today/75fRj), including [this one](https://archive.today/VjL2Y) after she was exposed and Mackenzie's [claim](http://i.imgur.com/zRQc52Y.jpg) of a mainstream media interview. A secondary purpose is to use this as an opportunity to look at what motivates anti-gg shills like Mackenzie.

Before attempting to "troll" gamergate Kelly's main target was Romeo Rose. Romeo Rose is what is called in some parts of the internet a "lolcow", someone that provides "lols" by being continually mocked and often harassed by trolls. Kelly dated him specifically for the purpose of what she described as ["the most epic troll ever"](http://i.imgur.com/ZNagmTF.png). There's a blog dedicated to documenting their antics, including [this post](http://whereforartromeo.blogspot.fi/2014/11/in-which-romeo-rose-and-mackenzie-kelly.html) specifically about her attempts to involve herself with gamergate and our suspicions about her. Like many lolcows, Romeo Rose seems to be mentally ill. Among the internet communties dedicated to mocking lolcows, which I'm guessing she came from originally, her purpose was known, as seen in this [cwcwiki thread](https://archive.today/SvV0u)

>Also, he's back with the girl who he found out was dating him just to troll him. He's still not totally convinced she's a troll.

>Yes, his not-troll 'girlfriend'

From Romeo himself:

>She still assures me that she’s not trolling me, and that we are going to start dating.

She was [invited](https://archive.today/idiy7) to gamergate by @tweetfromsatan, one of the "Weird Twitter" anti-gg troll accounts whose purpose is to pretend to be pro-gg in order to misrepresent us. [Here](https://archive.today/BKyIU) for example he's spreading a troll image, which he successfully tricked the Adobe twitter account into favoriting as praised by /r/gamerghazi [here](https://archive.today/ttmyp). He attempts to disguise his purpose by listing off several names of actual famous people, plus Kelly who presumably planned to respond beforehand, and immediately after he invites her on behalf of gamergate to do her (uninteresting and suspicious) AMA on KIA. After that, unlike most pro-gg people, she's featured in an AMA on /r/gamerghazi.

"weird twitter" is the same core group of Something Awful goons and ex-goons who form the core of much of the "social justice" movement online, including founding SRS and Gamerghazi. [This pastebin](http://pastebin.com/rFX1pTfX) from a few months ago is a decent explanation, including these relevant quotes:

>However, besides making amusing Tweets, they had another purpose: Harassing people for their own amusement. The former LF parts of Weird Twitter and their largely SJW indie dev follower (and similar people, you get the picture) crowd merely provided SJW issues as a heuristic to find targets to single out and harass.

>It's important to understand that the SJW issues they supposedly care about are merely meant to raise a Twitter mob outside of their small circle. On FYAD itself, they have no issues with throwing around racist and sexist slurs like they're going out of style.
