GamerGate thread

[Akiyama]

Twitter is both great (I've met some awesome people through twitter) and awful (it's way fucking easier to dog pile someone who didn't do anything wrong just based on everyone else doing it) so I can see both sides. At least with facebook you can limit who sees your shit.

For what? For the trolling?

fuck no. for news and real time hilarity. you havent lived until you watch all the writers at grantland tweet about whatever the hell is going on at the moment.

Oh wow, the people in that reddit thread are serious. Do they realize how ridiculous they sound? Even the description of the subreddit is lolworthy.

Its kinda hard to take any of this seriously knowing Raggy personally and knowing that at worst he was going to crack some inappropriate jokes with friends and have a good time. I just hope he didn't actually get kicked out like I heard might happen earlier in the day... that would be some BS.

[BerenTebogo]

To put some light on how serious this might be for him: it looks like he deleted his twitter.

Which is roughly equivalent to hell freezing over.

i really don't get the gamergate stuff, i think i just missed the short bus for that field trip. but from what i've gathered so far, it's a whole buncha people caring wayyyyy too much about very stupid shit? I'm just up in this thread because word was passed around Ragnell went and did something dumb?

Mentally ill professional victims inadvertently ruin popular hobbies by existing. Also journalism, misogyny and misguided radical wave feminism.

Pretty sure he has a 2nd account, plus his insta & Tumblr are still active.

He didn't delete it lol, just protected it so rando redditors can't go through his years of shit-tweeting

I bet its all over Redchanit

[archibaldcrane]

I wonder if the guy who actually tweeted the "go for the kill" joke is getting it as bad.

[Charismatic]

God, i hate twitter

Twitter is infinitely better than Tumblr or Instagram. That's not to say there isn't a dark side to Twitter, there is. It's just much less stress on the brain than Tumblr, Instagram or whatever the like will ever be.
