That Robot posted:well ArbitraryC posted:honestly surprised she didn't run with your response a bit more. The type of people who get upset about these causes wouldn't care at all about whether people are banned for making accounts to advertise their blog or w/e, they would ignore literally any context and just focus on the "bad things were said and anyone suggesting that maybe what this woman did was wrong must also agree with the harassment against women and these sexists attacks" and just repeat that ad nauseum until the issue is divided into two camps where anyone remotely critical of the other side is a horrible sexist bigot. I've honestly never seen this strategy fail in the era of social media she just needed to hold out a bit longer before a more mainstream site picked it up. ArbitraryC posted:I still think that if she maintained a "some people who disagreed with me said sexist/bad things therefor everyone who disagrees with me must agree with those people" tactic and tweeted about her plight to certain circles of the internet she could have gotten a lot of traction regardless of the actual context or reality of the situation. It's a straight up fool proof plan if you're willing to just dig your feet in on it. as it was written, so it shall be done

From what I've gathered, Social Autopsy was intended to show the identities of cyber bullies and take away the anonymity that makes cyber bullying so easy. Quinn tried to shut it down and in doing so revealed herself to be a cyber bully or whatever because she was really sloppy and bad at covering her tracks. Social Autopsy would basically just be a database of 4channers and redditors.

Al Cowens posted:Asocial basement men are not threatening at all. They're like the opposite of creepy. They're more like pitiful. Yeah, no. I vividly remember being on a bus and a normal girl - looked like a cheerleader type, probably early high school - was getting ready to get off the bus and a basement dweller was too. She was tiny. He was tall, bulky, fat, pinched piggy face, greasy hair, wearing a black trench coat. There was something that was incredibly 'off' about him. He purposefully marched up the aisle and ended up standing way too close to her, he stared directly ahead with such focus that - fair or not - it looked like he was lasering his eyes on her. He was either socially inept in the worst way, or was psyching himself up for something. She got incredibly creeped out. The entire bus did too...everyone started looking around at the bus stop to check if it was in a well-trafficked area, I could hear some muttering as if they wanted to help, etcetera. It's like the energy level rising in a bar when you see a fight about to break out. Even the bus driver felt it - when we stopped the bus, she got off first, and started walking one way. He got off and started walking the other. The bus waited for about 30 seconds - way longer than it did at any other stop - while we waited for her to get a safe distance away. The bus only left after it was obvious the dude was nowhere around her. So, yeah - it's situational.

The Social Autopsy site sounds dumb, and calling Zoe's campaign against it "cyberterrorism" is dumb too. But imo it's interesting to see how she operates. Then again, I didn't pay attention to gamergate so I'm not completely sick of seeing her name.

Zorodius posted:Then she posts the "female taking up half the frame" cartoon, overlooking that her blog was exactly that - I mean, her portrait literally took up the entire left 50% of the page. She misses this point so badly that she actually thinks someone is referring to her SA avatar when they reference "that graphic in the left panel." Apparently my comment about the atrocious lettering, inexplicable, awkwardly placed biohazard sign and lovely background stung her real good. Probably took her an entire day in Corel Draw. Also lol that after deleting her entire online presence, the only entry in her new blog is about dumb internets drama quote:So that’s how things went. Finally, I did have to do my job for a little while, and when I came back, I saw that I’d been banned. Frankly, I was irate because I thought it was unfair. Why should I have to pay $10 to log back on when I’d probably been the most respectful person there?

I met Defenestration, and he's going to teach me everything I need to know about publishing. For example, what are those thingies at the tops of the pages when you read books? They're not letters.
