All things me.

An Open Letter to Gamergate — Cosmodrome

posted this note on

Why are you continuing to harangue me on Twitter, through email, though doxxing me, through spreading malicious rumors about me, and through hostile threads on KiA? What’s the point? What does this accomplish for you?

It’s a question worth thinking about, because it seems completely at odds with the things you state that you believe – such as developers should be free to ship games without censorship. It doesn’t seem logically consistent to rally to defend games like Dead or Alive from a few stray feminist Tweets, while organizing efforts to harass me and my employees.

I would probably use the word “hypocrisy”.

– An Open Letter to Gamergate — Cosmodrome
(my emphasis)

Brianna Wu hits the nail on the head regarding GamerGate’s hypocrisy when regarding their claimed protection of ”free speech” at the same time as they try to silence anyone who criticize them or a game they like.

Obligatory reading!
