A number of GamerGate participants on Twitter all tell me the same thing – that GamerGate is not about sexism, misogyny or hating women at all. But Quinn, who has been receiving death threats for almost a month, thinks otherwise: “As someone who has been an outspoken feminist who makes weird artsy games about mental illness, I’m an easy target for them because I’m everything they hate. I think there’s been a background of hatred and misogyny in video games and now all this hatred is focused on me and other women.”
