    Collecting lists related to a disenfranchised group or the aid of a disenfranchised group is a pretty big red flag of the actor’s intentions, especially when that list gets passed around to corners of the internet that are well known to think the problem is not enough disenfranchisement.

    4chan lost the right to complain about anything related to D&I in gaming and be treated as anything but subhuman slime after Gamergate.

      This article:

      … began Kramer, whose work history also includes stints as a PR manager for GamerGate instigator Zoe Quinn

      Wikipedia:

      In 2014, a defamatory blog post by their ex-boyfriend sparked the online harassment campaign known as Gamergate, during which Quinn was subjected to extensive harassment including doxing, rape threats, and death threats. The following year, Quinn co-founded Crash Override, a crisis hotline and resource center for victims of online harassment.

      What’s it called when you blame a victim again?

      This article is garbage, and anyone who gives a fuck about this is a simply a moron wasting their life. You’d have to be implausibly stupid to believe that a 15-employee “PC” consulting firm is the root of all evil in the video games industry, yet here they are.

        The “article” is very clearly just a call to forther hate on SGI. It’s crazy to what lengths people go to justify their bad purchases, desperately clinging to whatever explanation they can cook up for why there is no self-blame to apply for having bought into the shit that is Suicide Squad. No no, you see, the game would have been awesome if not for that WOKE consulting company! If not for them this would have been a 10/10, I could not have known it’d be bad!

        The thing I find most interesting about the Zoe Post is that the response would have been **radically **different had it been a woman making similar allegations against a man. That Quinn herself made much less detailed allegations against another man 5 years later that led to his career imploding the next day and his suicide 4 days later and she’s seen as being in the right for it I think demonstrates that notion pretty well.

      Collecting lists related to a disenfranchised group

      Didn’t know a consulting company was a disenfranchised group.

      Amusingly, one of the people Quinn cheated on Gjoni with works for Sweet Baby, just to tie things together. The one that was involved in doxxing and trying to DDoS that crowdfunded game jam project thing that the Vivian James character was created for.
