Supporters of #gamergate have been victim of targetted racial and gender based attacks so severe that even women brave enough to build girls schools in pakistan are afraid of revenge attacks. (https://twitter.com/EleanorVarrot/status/516200456012726272 https://twitter.com/EleanorVarrot/status/516193534580637696).
These attacks have escalated to such a degree that 2 people (one the black developer who founded #notyourshield) have lost their jobs, 3 more had attempts made to get them fired, another (making it sixtotal) called the police over threats to rape mutilate and murder her, and there have been over ~13 doxxings. At this point, to the best of my knowledge, almost every single prominent female supporter of #gamergate has been doxxed and gotten threats to her life. #Gamergate has raised over $70,000 for feminists to fund female developers and peacefully organized boycots. In return there have been targetted attacks against its members escalating to the level of federal crimes. The problem with protesting journalists is that journalists can write whatever they wish about the people protesting them. In the United States there is no legal requirement for "news" to be truthful or factual because of judicial precedents set by previous Supreme Court cases. Here is documentation of these criminal attacks. I urge you not to place your trust in the people behind these: Threats at their work: https://twitter.com/GGfeminist/status/514238397653590016/photo/1 Text messages: https://twitter.com/milky_candy/status/513373137639964672 Phone calls threatening their family: http://i.imgur.com/892hZ1A.png Losing their jobs: https://twitter.com/FabioFacchetti1/status/513211408411283456 Losing their jobs: https://twitter.com/CodeusaSoftware/status/514925181677350912 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkto-HtXqg8 Doxxing and threats: http://imgur.com/BNlLKcn Doxxing a child: http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2fvt9n/zoe_links_a_doxx_to_wikipedia_editors_who_tried/ They have even escalated to the point of mailing a gay journalist (even though he is a partisan hack most of the time) a syringe full of god knows what: https://twitter.com/Nero/status/513666683916255232 And those are just the actual full on doxxings, its not even getting close to online threats: https://twitter.com/JakALope044/status/513174681332236288 https://twitter.com/tastenotouch/status/513220810056933376/photo/1 https://twitter.com/JaredBrickey/status/506137292164317185 https://twitter.com/lizzyf620/status/513708836767924224 https://twitter.com/Nero/status/513666683916255232 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxItIhIIQAABIu7.png https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxFz-WhCMAAJBO1.jpg https://medium.com/@sixthman/who-is-harassed-more-f81799a2f550 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBmifFUBmg8 http://33.media.tumblr.com/f45ec5af72b60bda7c696817ca14ddbf/tumblr_nbjxzdpHI91tkhroeo1_1280.jpg Or the targeted racial harassment: https://twitter.com/tratowzolom/status/514443790526849026/photo/1 https://forum.encyclopediadramatica.es/attachments/1409516437457-png.47336/ http://i.imgur.com/u8835lH.png anti-semitism: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BzJVr6tCAAEEo2w.jpg:large https://twitter.com/lizzyf620/status/518472233808056320 https://twitter.com/EleanorVarrot/status/516200456012726272 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitLab" group.
