Gawker, one of your ideological enemies, looks terrible.
Sure, go ahead and live it up, Gamergate.
Never forget that reprehensible thing did to Geithner is very similar to what GG was set up for in the 1st place to do to Zoe Quinn. Sorry #GamerGate, but I think you need to explain why the Zoe Post was justified but Gawker is not. But, unlike the rest of the world, those very same Gamergaters defend Eron Gjoni’s Zoe Post. It was universally seen as a monstrous thing to do, including by Gamergaters. There is one key difference between the general reaction to the Zoe Post and Gawker outing Geithner, and that difference is the reaction of Gamergate supporters.Įveryone is condemning the Gawker post. The obviousness of the similarities does Gamergate no favors, yet the crowing over Gawker’s sins is deafening. How Gamergate supporters can make this comparison and not see that it also damns them is a mystery. Hey How is the zoe post bad But your latest article ok? Care to run that one through the double think machine? >How dare people post about Zoe's private life!!1!!11! >HEY EVERYBODY! COME LOOK AT THE GAY MAN - Gawker #gamergate Zoe Quinn's sex life = out of bounds misogynistic. Comparing Geithner’s outing and the ZoePost have already become commonplace on pro-Gamergate Twitter. Gamergate supporters are perceptive enough to understand the parallels between the two posts. Now we’re supposed to listen to their preening moral superiority over Gawker’s same failings? Gamergate Knows They And Gawker Are The Same Only for Gamergate it was feminism invading video games and SJW overreach. Just like Gawker, Gamergate hopped on gossip that fit their agenda. Gamergate is condemned far more than ratified by the public drubbing Gawker is taking over their Geithner post. This was the world Gamergate offered Zoe Quinn. Imagine if the world had reacted to Gawker’s publication of Geithner’s sex life by harassing him to the point where he had to flee his home. The galvanizing moment of your movement is important, Gamergate, and your origins shame you. Zoe Quinn’s alleged sexual improprieties are exactly as lacking in public interest as Geithner’s, yet Gamergaters haven’t managed to shut up about “Five Guys Burgers and Fries” in nearly a year. The Quinnspiracy was a post-hoc rationalization based on the false idea that Quinn had exchanged sex for a good review.It worked and the harassment of Zoe Quinn began.Zoe Quinn’s ex-boyfriend did his damnedest - over weeks - to push a long, shaming tell-all on video game forums.Gawker and the Quinnspiracyĭespite the grand displays of outrage directed at Gawker, Gamergate itself was founded entirely on a grotesque public airing of a private person’s sexual history.ĭenying the simple facts of the Quinnspiracy deserves to be an insult to reason, like a school board re-litigating the reality of evolution.

The level of cynicism on display is typical of the movement (though not true universally, Gamergate is full up with the earnest). It’d be hard for Cernovich to provide more clear evidence that his attacks on Gawker are unmoored from any genuine moral outrage.

How to tell if someone is a true player? There's a 100% chance he's had a pregnancy scare, and a 25% chance he's had a false rape scare. Have you guys ever tried "raping" a girl without using force? Try it. There's a new tranny story every day, it seems. The media is making a full court press for tranny acceptance. His moral tuning is such that he can condemn Gawker for gay bashing and also spread nice, little sentiments like… Gawker editor-in-chief Max Read tried to offer a reason:

Nor was he a pundit for an anti-gay TV network. Their target was not a legislator who sponsored anti-gay bills. Gawker is attacked for outing a normal person without good reason. It seems the Gamergaters - for all their finger-probing of Gawker’s sins - don’t realize that they’re hated for the exact same reason Jordan Sargent’s post was derided and pulled. Gawker Media Takes Down Post, Gamergate Reacts But the celebration in one corner of the online dumbassosphere - Gamergate - couldn’t be more misguided. It’s clear Gawker has struck a nerve when Glenn Greenwald takes a break from blowing open the surveillance state to attack Gawker’s limp editorial rationalizations. Writers from across the political spectrum have condemned Jordan Sargent, whose journalistic instincts steered him, once again, to the scummy non-story. It’s easy to agree that Gawker screwed up in outing a man without any newsworthy motive for doing so.
