If you know swatting is a real thing, though, that story seems completely plausible at least in the US; I can easily see one of those bogus calls leading to someone being shot to death or something and then the law coming down like a ton of bricks on the crank caller and prosecuting them for murder.

It's true. It can involve bishops, horses and all kinds of other poo poo. Not to mention pawns that have turned into queens.

The MRAs are playing a game where it turns out they're the baddies, but because they kept skipping through the dialogues they missed the plot (twist).

The OP to the "moderates" who think that this is exactly what "they" want and they need to bide their time to the cautiously optimistic people who are saying that, "Just in case this is true, make sure you have your cameras around." Just amazing.

Yeah the most terrifying part for me is easily the calm levelheadedness of some of those people in the face of this completely ludicrous thing. If everyone was just yelling or making posts like the "Make sure you save this just in case it happens. It will help us bring her down." guy then you'd chalk it up to online craziness, but seeing people actually think about how they shouldn't call an emergency line and should just be there to document this absolutely mind-blowingly fake hypothetical situation because they think it might actually happen is nuts. Like, how deep do you have to be into the GamerGate crazy well to just accept poo poo like this as totally plausible.

If you want to be a cynical bastard, some of them might be less 'being duped' and more 'pretending to go along with it' to encourage others not to call the authorities if Zoe Quinn was indeed to be assaulted. edit: after looking at the site myself, I'm going back more towards 'they're all dumb as poo poo'. One of their supporters made a parody 'I'm leaving the internet due to harassment' video and 90% of them can't figure out it's a parody and think she was actually harassed. edit2: Seriously, what loving world do these people live in? quote:anonymous death and rape threats against both genders are as old as the printing press. most normal, well-grounded people don't feel the need to be a professional victim.

I think it's been said, but the engine behind this whole Quinn issue is "a woman had sex (!!!) and it wasn't with me." I'm currently covering PAX, and I ducked into the Game Industry Rumble for a bit to check out what it was, because I've never attended it in the past. If these shitlords had any consistency, panels like this would be their 9/11: It's nothing but journos and devs, palling around and throwing inside jokes at each other for 90 minutes while a rowdy audience cheers them on. It's harmless, of course, but it's an explicit display that, yes, people from both sides of the industry have close relationships with each other.

I think a pretty big giveaway that most of the #GamerGate people don't actually understand what they're complaining about is the fact that GiantBomb has barely been mentioned. Those guys are better friends with and have had more content with developers in it than probably any other site, yet people are bitching about sites like Kotaku and Polygon. If you want to complain about developer/journalist shenanigans at least pick the site that's openly proud of their close relationships with devs (because Jeff knows that if you're a reasonable adult you'll understand that it isn't actually a big deal).

In fairness to the crazies, Giantbomb doesn't strive towards impartial journalism the majority of the time. They're predominantly an entertainment site. And when they're been exceptionally close to a developer (Bastion being the example that leaps to mind) they've actively refused to review the game.

Giantbomb also has a tendency to dismiss people as assholes and ignore them instead of engaging, and also when you're a bunch of white dudes that are engaged and invested enough in the AAA side of the business (~not that there's anything wrong with that~) it becomes hard to paint them as part of the secret hipster feminist queer cabal destroying fine videogames. They do occasionally pop up on those "AROUND GAMES JOURNALISTS NEVER RELAX" corkboard conspiracy images, though.
